Rodent Control in Hollywood, FL: Roof Rats and Mice

Rodent Control in Hollywood

The most common rat in Hollywood is the roof rat. It's a climber that travels along power lines, fence tops and tree branches and gets into homes through the roofline, soffits and attic vents. Hollywood's older neighborhoods have the kind of mature canopy roof rats love: big ficus, oaks and royal and coconut palms leaning over roofs in areas like Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills. Fruit trees, bird feeders and pet food left outside give them a steady food supply.

House mice are the other common problem, especially in garages, kitchens and condo buildings. They squeeze through very small gaps around pipes and utility lines. Hollywood's 1950s and '60s concrete block homes often have older roof vents, gaps in fascia boards and openings left from additions and AC line runs, all of which give rodents a way in. When the weather cools or a storm moves through, activity inside often picks up.

Hollywood Trees, Palms and Rooflines

If your home is under a big tree canopy, the roof is the main battleground. Branches touching the roof are a bridge for roof rats, and the space where a palm's old fronds hang can be a nest. We'll show you the spots that need trimming. For condo owners, mice are more common than rats, and they often come through plumbing and utility openings that we can seal inside your unit.
