Rodent Control in Pembroke Pines, FL: Roof Rats and Mice

Rodent Control in Pembroke Pines

Roof rats are the main rodent problem in Pembroke Pines. They're climbers, and the city's neighborhoods give them plenty to climb: palm trees planted along every street and backyard, ficus hedges, fruit trees and the screen enclosures around pools. Once a roof rat reaches the roofline, it looks for a gap in the tile roof, a loose soffit or an opening where the roof meets the pool cage. Lakes and canals also give rodents a water source and cover along the banks.

Most Pembroke Pines homes are stucco houses with clay or concrete tile roofs, built from the 1980s through the 2000s. Tile roofs have gaps at the eaves and ridge where rats can get under the tiles and into the attic. Townhomes share attic spaces in some communities, so rodents can move between units. House mice are also common in garages, especially where pet food, bird seed or cardboard boxes are stored.

Rats and mice we treat in Pembroke Pines

• Roof rats in attics, under roof tiles and in soffits
• House mice in garages, kitchens and storage areas
• Rodents nesting in palms, fruit trees and dense hedges
• Entry points at tile roof edges, pool-cage connections, AC lines and vents
• Outdoor attractants like fallen fruit, pet food and bird feeders

Tile Roofs, Pool Cages and Palms

Pembroke Pines homes have a few weak spots we check every time: the open ends of tile roofs at the eaves, the connection between the pool cage and the roof and palms whose fronds touch the house. If you live in a townhome with a shared attic, we'll tell you if the activity looks like it's coming from a neighbor's side so you can coordinate with them or your HOA.
