Rodent Control in Weston, FL: Roof Rats and Mice

Rodent Control in Weston

Weston's lakes, clustered palms and backyard fruit trees give roof rats what they need: water, food and a way up. Queen palms and coconut palms near the house are common nesting spots, and their fronds often brush the roof. Once on top, roof rats look for openings under tile roof edges, at soffits and gable vents, and where the screened pool enclosure attaches to the house.

Homes on the western edge, closest to the Everglades levee and open land, can see more rodents moving in from outside the neighborhood, especially when the weather changes. House mice are common in garages where pet food, bird seed and stored items are kept. Two-story homes and large attics give rodents a lot of quiet space once they're inside, so the sooner the entry point is found, the better.

Palms, Pool Cages and Two-Story Rooflines

Palm fronds touching the roof and the pool-cage-to-roof connection are the two spots we find most often in Weston. On two-story homes, the lower roof sections where the pool cage or a porch ties in are easy for rats to reach. We'll show you what to trim and what needs sealing.

Signs to Watch For

Listen for scratching or running in the attic or between floors at night. Look for droppings in the garage or attic, chewed fruit under trees, gnawed boxes or wires and rats running along the top of the pool cage at dusk. Calling early makes the job easier.
