Rat-Only, and Built for Florida Attics
Roof rats are the specialty
Central Florida runs on roof rats, the climbers that nest up high. A local exterminator reads the roofline, the soffits, and the attic the way this rat actually moves, not with a generic pest route.
Family & pet conscious
Traps and placements chosen around kids and pets, secured and explained before anything is set, so your home stays comfortable while the rats are cleared.
Seal the home, not just the rat
Trapping alone empties the attic until the next rat climbs in. The job closes the roofline gaps and entry points, which is what actually ends it.
Cleanup that finishes the job
Once the rats are out, the droppings, nesting, and soiled insulation get cleared and sanitized, so the attic is safe again, not just quiet.
Know your Orlando rats
The Rodents Getting Into Central Florida Homes
Heat, heavy landscaping, tile and shingle roofs, and no real winter keep rodent pressure up all year in Orlando. These three drive nearly every call.
Roof Rats
Rattus rattus · The attic climberThe signature Orlando rat. Roof rats are agile climbers that travel fences, tree limbs, and power lines and let themselves into attics, soffits, and wall voids up high. Citrus, fruit trees, and dense landscaping feed them, and the warm Florida attic is prime nesting.
- Scratching and scurrying in the attic or ceiling after dark
- Droppings in the attic, garage, and along the tops of walls
- Gnaw marks on soffits, wires, and roofline trim
Norway Rats
Rattus norvegicus · Down low, near waterThe burrowing rat, less common than roof rats here but a real problem near canals, retention ponds, and older neighborhoods. They dig along foundations, under sheds and slabs, and push into garages and low walls from ground level.
- Burrows along the foundation, under sheds, and near water
- Droppings in the garage, laundry, and low along the slab
- Gnawing at ground-level gaps, doors, and vents
House Mice
Mus musculus · Small gaps, fast breedingMice slip through a gap the size of a dime and breed fast, so a couple become a problem quickly. They share the same garages, pantries, and wall voids as rats and often turn up on the same call in Orlando homes.
- Small dark droppings in drawers, pantries, and cabinets
- Gnawed food packaging and shredded nesting material
- Scratching in walls and quick movement along baseboards
Why the Attic
The Florida factor · Warm, high, and quietOrlando homes hand roof rats a perfect nest: a warm attic, easy roofline access from mature trees, and soffit and vent gaps that open the space up. That is why local rat work lives at the roofline and in the attic, not at the baseboard.
- Tree limbs and fences that bridge straight to the roof
- Gaps at soffits, roof vents, and where utilities enter
- Nesting and droppings hidden in attic insulation

Straight answers on price
What Shapes the Price
No two rat jobs cost the same, and anyone quoting one flat number sight unseen is guessing. Four things move it, and you hear the figure upfront.
The Size of the Job
Trapping a few rats is one thing. A full job with trapping, roofline sealing, and attic cleanup across a larger home is another. The inspection sets the honest scope.
How Established They Are
A rat or two that just moved in is a smaller job than a colony that has nested and bred in the attic for months. Activity level moves the number.
The Entry Points
A home with a few clear roofline gaps seals faster than one with open soffits, loose tiles, and multiple utility penetrations to close.
Cleanup & Insulation
Light droppings are a quick clean. Heavy contamination and soiled insulation that needs removal and replacement adds to the work, and you hear it upfront.
Rat control questions
Orlando Rat Control FAQ
How much does rat control cost in Orlando?
It depends on the size of the home, how established the rats are, and whether the job is trapping only or trapping plus sealing and attic cleanup. You get upfront pricing on the phone after describing the problem, before anything is scheduled. Call 407-550-3114 and get an honest number with no obligation.
What kind of rats are in Orlando?
Roof rats are the main rat in Central Florida. They climb, travel fences, trees, and power lines, and nest in attics, soffits, and wall voids. Norway rats show up too, burrowing low around foundations and near water, and house mice are common. A local exterminator confirms which you have before treating. Call 407-550-3114.
Why do I hear scratching in my attic or ceiling at night?
In Orlando that is almost always roof rats, which are active after dark and nest up high in attics and ceilings. The scratching and scurrying you hear overhead is them moving along joists and wall tops. Trapping clears them, and sealing the roofline entry points keeps the attic from refilling. Call 407-550-3114.
Do you seal the entry points or just set traps?
Both, and the sealing is what makes it last. Trapping removes the rats that are inside, and exclusion closes the roofline gaps, soffit openings, and utility penetrations they use to get in. Trapping without sealing just empties the attic until the next rat climbs in. A local exterminator handles the full job. Call 407-550-3114.
Do you clean up the droppings and mess in the attic?
Yes. After the rats are out, attic cleanup and sanitation removes contaminated droppings and nesting material, treats the area, and replaces soiled insulation where needed. Rat droppings and urine can carry health risks, so cleanup should be handled with the right equipment, not swept up dry. Call 407-550-3114.
Which areas around Orlando do you serve?
Orlando and the Central Florida communities around it: Winter Park, College Park, Dr. Phillips, Baldwin Park, Lake Nona, Conway, plus Maitland and Apopka. If you are close to any of those, call 407-550-3114 and ask.
