Rodent Control Orlando FL
In College Park and the Conway corridor, those 1920s to 1960s block and frame houses still have the original gaps. You'll see a loose soffit or mulch piled high against the stucco. That's enough for roof rats to run the power lines at night and slip in through a gnawed vent. Underneath, Eastern subterranean termites work the sandy soil all year, especially where irrigation keeps the foundation damp.
Roof rats don't take a season off in Osceola and Orange Counties. Backyard citrus, palm fronds on tile, mulch beds and retention ponds give them food and cover right against your walls.

Why Orlando needs professional rodent control
On block and stucco homes I check the same spots first. Lifted tile edges, chewed soffit vents and the gap where AC lines punch through stucco. Roof rats run citrus limbs and fence tops straight to openings you'll miss from the ground.
South toward Belle Isle and Edgewood you'll hit more lakefront neighborhoods and pond-edge homes around the Conway chain. Palmetto bugs breed in storm drains and palm thatch behind the house. Mosquitoes lift off retention ponds and bromeliads by the lanai. Along the apartment communities and rental corridors near International Drive and the UCF area, German roaches and bed bugs hitchhike with turnover. We spend a lot of time sealing attic screens and drying out soggy soil lines.
Roof Rats
You'll hear them after 10 p.m. racing above the bedroom. They leave blunt pellets under citrus trees and gnaw marks on soffit vents. We run traps in the attic, not poison in insulation, and point out which limbs gave them roof access.
Norway Rats
Bigger and low to the ground. Look for burrow holes by slabs and sheds and greasy rub along garage edges. We've trapped them along canal lots and pond banks where pet bowls sit out all night.
House Mice
They slip through a pencil-width gap under a door or around a sink pipe. You'll find rice-sized droppings in drawers and chewed corners on cereal boxes. We seal those pipe chases and set traps behind stoves where they actually travel.
Cotton Rats
They live in overgrown lots and pond banks on the rural edge past St. Cloud. An afternoon storm floods their cover and they'll bolt for sheds and lanais. Clear the weeds and tighten shed bases and most stay outside where they belong.
What to expect
Our rodent control process in Orlando
A clear plan, careful treatment, and a final check with your technician.
-
Roof-to-yard inspection
We walk the roofline, lift tile edges, scope the attic for rub marks and pellets, and check garage seals and AC penetrations. You'll see photos of every gap we find.
-
Targeted trapping
We set snap traps and enclosed stations in the attic and along runs, out of reach of kids and pets. We don't toss poison in insulation. We come back and shift traps till the scratching stops.
-
Exclusion and sealing
We close gaps with steel mesh, flashing and sealant rated for Florida heat and rain. We'll fix soffit vents, pipe collars and garage edges, then tell you what brush to cut back from the roof.
-
Cleanup and keeping them out
We bag droppings, pull nesting fluff and wipe stained wood. You'll get simple habits that work here, like picking citrus fast and locking trash before nightfall.
Rodent Control in Orlando: FAQs
That's classic roof rats. They nest in insulation and forage after dark, and citrus keeps them active all year.
Yes. Mild winters don't stop breeding here. Fallen citrus, pet food and trash feed them every month.
No. Traps thin numbers but don't close gaps, so new rats follow old scent trails back in.
They live outdoors in mulch, sewers and palm trees and slip inside for water after heat or storms. Sealed doors, fixed leaks and an exterior barrier cut sightings far more than a clean kitchen. We treat those outdoor sources first.
Yes. 1920s to 1960s homes often have pier voids, additions and soil contact termites use. Annual inspections plus monitoring or soil treatment catch it early. We'll show you what we find around the foundation.
