RODENT CONTROL & EXCLUSION

Protecting Your Paradise: Get Rats and Mice Out (And Keep Them Out)

Nobody wants to share their home with rats or mice. They chew through wires, contaminate your food, leave droppings everywhere, and honestly, they’re just gross. The worst part? Once they move in, they multiply fast.

At Crews Complete Pest Solutions, we’ve been getting rodents out of Southwest Florida homes and businesses for years. We don’t just trap them—we figure out how they’re getting in and seal those entry points so they can’t come back. That’s the key to actually solving the problem.

Why Southwest Florida Has a Rodent Problem

Most people think rodents are mainly a problem in winter when they’re looking for warmth. Not here. Our mild climate means rats and mice breed year-round, and we’ve actually got MORE rodent issues in summer during rainy season.

What attracts rodents to your property:

Food Sources – Pet food left out, birdseed, fruit trees, garbage, even that bag of dog food in the garage—rodents will find it.

Water – With our afternoon thunderstorms and humidity, standing water and moisture are everywhere. Rodents need water daily.

Shelter – Attics, wall voids, sheds, and even dense landscaping give rodents perfect nesting spots.

Easy Entry – Rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. Mice? A hole the size of a dime. Most houses have dozens of potential entry points.

Palm Trees and Vegetation – Roof rats (yeah, that’s a thing here) love palm trees. They’ll live in your trees and then hop onto your roof to get inside.

Here’s the deal—rodents are looking for the same things we are: food, water, and shelter. Once they find it at your place, they’re moving in and bringing the family.

The Rodents We Deal With Around Here

Southwest Florida has three main rodent troublemakers:

Roof Rats (Black Rats) – The most common problem here. They’re excellent climbers, love palm trees and attics, and usually get in through the roofline. They’re active at night, so you might hear them scurrying around up there.

Norway Rats (Brown Rats) – These are the big guys. They prefer ground-level burrows but will absolutely move into your home if they can. More common around commercial properties and older buildings.

House Mice – Small but mighty. They can fit through tiny cracks, breed like crazy (a female can have 6-8 litters a year), and they’ll nest inside your walls.

Signs you’ve got rodents:

• Droppings in cabinets, drawers, or along baseboards
• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceiling at night
• Gnaw marks on food packages, wires, or wood
• Greasy rub marks along walls where they travel
• A musky odor in closed spaces
• Shredded paper or insulation (nesting material)

If you’re seeing any of these signs, you’ve got company. And it’s not going away on its own.

Our Rodent Elimination Strategy

Getting rid of rodents for good takes more than just setting a few traps. Here’s our proven approach:

We Find Out What’s Really Going On

First, we do a complete inspection—inside and outside. We’re looking for droppings, gnaw marks, grease trails, where they’re nesting, and most importantly, how they’re getting in. We check your foundation, roofline, vents, pipes, everything.

We Set Up Professional Traps and Bait Stations

Based on where the rodents are active, we place professional-grade traps and tamper-resistant bait stations in strategic spots. We’re not using those cheap hardware store traps—we use commercial equipment that actually works. And everything’s placed safely away from kids and pets.

We Seal the Entry Points (This Is the Key)

Here’s the truth—you can trap rodents all day long, but if you don’t seal up how they’re getting in, new ones will just move in after. We identify every crack, gap, and hole they’re using and give you a solid exclusion plan. This is the most important step for long-term control.

Common entry points we seal:

• Gaps around pipes and utility lines
• Roof vents and soffit gaps
• Holes where cables enter the house
• Gaps under doors and around garage doors
• Cracks in the foundation
• Openings around AC lines

We Keep Checking Until They’re Gone

Rodent control isn’t always an overnight fix. We come back for follow-up visits to check traps, monitor activity, refresh bait stations, and make sure our exclusion work is holding up. We stay on it until your rodent problem is completely solved.
