Rodent Control Services Near Me

Rodent Control in Southwest Florida

Rodents like rats, mice, and even roof rats are a growing problem for homeowners across Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, North Port, Englewood, Venice, and surrounding Southwest Florida areas. These pests don’t just cause damage—they pose serious health risks through their droppings, urine, and the parasites they carry.

At West Florida Termite & Pest Control, we offer professional, long-lasting rodent control solutions to remove current infestations and prevent future ones.

Common Rodents in Southwest Florida

Roof Rats

Also known as “tree rats,” roof rats are common in warm, coastal climates like Florida’s. They often enter homes through attics, roof vents, and eaves, nesting in insulation and wall voids. Roof rats are agile climbers and highly destructive once inside.

Norway Rats

These larger, ground-dwelling rats burrow around foundations and enter homes through cracks, pipes, and low vents. They chew through drywall, wiring, and insulation, creating fire hazards and costly repairs.

House Mice

Small but persistent, house mice multiply quickly and can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. They contaminate food, spread disease, and chew on just about anything in their path—including wires and plumbing.

Dangers of a Rodent Infestation

Rodents aren’t just unsanitary—they’re dangerous. Infestations can lead to:

• Spread of diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonella, and murine typhus
• Parasites such as fleas, mites, and ticks
• Contaminated food and surfaces
• Structural damage to insulation, wiring, and ductwork
• Unpleasant odors from urine, droppings, and decaying nesting material

Because rodents are nocturnal and often stay hidden, a small problem can grow into a full-blown infestation before you’re even aware.
