Rodent Control in Osceola & Orange Counties, Florida
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.
We've pulled nests out of stucco-home attics from St. Cloud to Winter Garden. We find the chew marks and pellets, trap what's inside, then seal the gaps so the next family can't move in.

Orlando Pest Pros
Where Central Florida rats slip inside
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.
Down low it's garage doors that don't seal, torn lanai screens and open pipe chases. Add fallen oranges and a dog bowl left out overnight and you've set a table. Once one rat runs it, that scent trail pulls others for months.
Good to know
Trapping catches rats. Sealing keeps them out.
I won't sell you traps alone. Without sealing, a Kissimmee attic or US-192 rental just refills because breeding never pauses here.
We close eaves, pipe entries and garage corners with steel mesh and flashing that'll hold up in humidity and afternoon storms. We add vent covers and door sweeps, then show you which palm fronds and vines to cut back from the roof.
From the field
What rat mess does to an attic
Rat urine soaks into blown insulation and the smell hangs in our humidity. You'll see matted trails, pellets in soffit corners and chewed wire sheathing. That odor tells the next roof rats this attic is safe.
After the attic goes quiet we pull droppings and nest fluff with HEPA vacs and gloves, treat stained spots and flag thin spots in insulation. You'll get photos and plain advice on storage and vents so it stays dry.
Florida block-home weak spots
Rats use the same four doors
Most Osceola and Orange block homes aren't wide open. They've got small construction gaps up top and around utilities, and roof rats need less than an inch.
We don't fog the attic and hope. We fit metal and sealant that survives gnawing and summer storms.
- Roofline gaps: steel mesh and flashing tucked under lifted tile, not foam
- AC line penetrations: sealed collars where lines punch through stucco
- Garage door seals: new sweeps and side seals that close night gaps
- Soffit vents: tight metal covers that still breathe but block gnawing
Simple and transparent
How it works
From first call to final walkthrough, everything is handled by a licensed local professional.
-
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 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.
Most times, yes. Soiled insulation holds odor that pulls rats back, so we'll clear debris and sanitize.
Don't leave dry goods open. Seal containers, caulk sink pipe gaps and cut pantry clutter.
