Orlando Rat and Mouse Control 

The warm, humid climate of Central Florida creates an ideal breeding ground for rats and mice. The rat and mouse control professionals in our Orlando office have been serving homes and businesses since 2012. We use methods that are safe, green-friendly, and precisely designed to meet your specific needs. 

These agile and elusive rodents can invade even the most meticulously maintained spaces, causing damage and spreading contamination. Understanding the intricacies of rodent behavior is key to developing effective control strategies. These pests often seek refuge in warm, hidden spaces, finding their way through cracks in your walls, attics, and basements. Given their rapid breeding capabilities, early intervention is crucial to prevent a minor issue from ballooning into a major infestation.

Beacon Pest Services conducts comprehensive inspections to assess the extent of rodent activity and identify entry points. Our skilled team combines cutting-edge technology with traditional knowledge to locate nests, evaluate the infestation’s severity, and customize our solutions to address the specific challenges of each case.

The Signs You Have a Rat or Mouse Infestation

  • Droppings: Finding small, pellet-like droppings in your kitchen, pantry, or along baseboards is a clear indication of rodent activity. These droppings are typically dark and moist initially, drying and becoming lighter over time. 
  • Gnaw marks: Rodents have continuously growing teeth and gnaw on wood, plastic, and wires to keep them trim. Discovering gnaw marks on food packages, furniture, or electrical wires can indicate a rodent infestation. 
  • Nesting materials: Rats and mice use shredded paper, fabric, and plant matter to build nests in secluded areas. Discovering these materials in hidden corners, attics, or behind appliances suggests that rodents are nesting nearby. 
  • Strange noises: Hearing scurrying, scratching, or squeaking noises within your walls or ceilings indicate rodent activity. Be particularly alert at night, when it is quiet and these sounds will stand out. 
  • Grease marks: Rodents tend to follow the same paths along your walls, leaving greasy, dark smudges from their fur. These tracks often appear close to baseboards or entry points and are a reliable indicator of a well-traveled rodent route. 
  • Footprints or tail marks: Look for footprints or tail drag marks in dusty or undisturbed areas. Sprinkling a light layer of flour or talcum powder in suspected areas can reveal fresh tracks, confirming rodent presence. 
  • Pet behavior changes: Your pets may become agitated or overly curious in certain areas of your home where rodents are active. Dogs and cats can hear rats and mice moving behind your walls or furniture, often leading them to paw or sniff persistently at these spots.

Integrated Pest Management for Rats and Mice

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) offers a strategic and sustainable approach to managing rodent infestations. It combines various tactics to address existing problems and reduce the likelihood of future occurrences. 

Here’s how we implement IPM strategies to control rat and mouse populations on your residential or commercial property: 

Habitat Modification

The foundation of IPM for rodent control lies in habitat modification. By altering the environment to make it less attractive to rats and mice, we can reduce the likelihood of infestations. This involves eliminating food sources by securely storing food and waste, reducing water availability by fixing leaks, and managing vegetation and debris outside the home that provides rodents with shelter. Regular sanitation practices are crucial, as they not only deter rodents but also make the area less conducive to their survival.

Exclusion Techniques

One of the most effective IPM strategies for rodent control is exclusion. This involves sealing entry points to prevent rats and mice from accessing your indoor spaces. Common entry points include small cracks, gaps in walls, and openings around your pipes and utility lines. Using materials like steel wool, wire mesh, and weather stripping can effectively block these access points. By focusing on exclusion, IPM minimizes the need for traps and poisons, thus reducing potential harm to non-target animals and the environment.

Population Monitoring

Monitoring is a critical component of IPM, enabling the early detection of rodent activity and the assessment of infestation levels. This involves using bait stations and traps to determine the presence and size of rodent populations. Regular monitoring helps evaluate the effectiveness of implemented strategies and make necessary adjustments. It allows control measures to be timely and targeted, reducing the chance of a full-blown infestation.

By focusing on prevention and exclusion, IPM reduces the reliance on chemical rodenticides, promoting a safer environment for humans and wildlife. This approach also fosters a long-term solution to rodent problems, as opposed to temporary fixes that only address symptoms rather than root causes. We aim for lasting solutions.
