Rodent Control in North Miami Beach, FL: Roof Rats and Mice

Rodent Control in North Miami Beach

Roof rats do well in North Miami Beach because the older neighborhoods have everything they need: mature mango, avocado and ficus trees, coconut palms leaning over roofs and decades-old homes with gaps at the roofline. They travel along power lines and fence tops, climb into palms and reach the attic through loose soffits, roof vents and the openings left by old AC and cable runs.

Mice are just as common, especially in small apartment buildings and in homes near the busy commercial streets. Restaurants, markets and dumpsters along 163rd Street and West Dixie Highway give rodents a steady food source, and from there they move into nearby garages, kitchens and storage rooms through very small gaps.

Older Rooflines and Canal Lots

Many homes here were built in the 1950s and '60s, and their roof vents, fascia boards and soffits have been patched over the years. Those patches often leave openings. On canal lots in Eastern Shores, rats also travel along seawalls and docks. We check the roofline closely and give you a list of what to seal and what to trim. Near the busy corridors, we also look at the side of the home facing the street or alley, where rats tend to arrive first, and place exterior stations along that route so they're intercepted before reaching the house.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

The first visit is an inspection of the roofline, attic access, carport and any shed. We point out droppings, rub marks and entry points, set traps that day and schedule the sealing and follow-up checks.
