How We Solve Your Rodent Problem In Miami Beach
1. Rodenticides
Rodenticides, or rodent poisons, can be used to control rodent populations. These baits work by the rodents taking the bait/poison back to the colony and dispersing it to as many rodents as possible. It is important that these products are used responsibly and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid potential harm to non-target animals or humans. Our technicians will brief our customers on all safety precautions.
2. Exclusion
The most effective method for controlling rodent populations is to prevent them from entering your home or business in the first place. This can be done by sealing up any cracks or holes in the building’s exterior, as well as by installing door sweeps and weatherstripping to prevent rodents from sneaking in through gaps around doors and windows. Outdoor dwelling rodents can be controlled with rodenticides and baits.
3. Habitat modification
Another effective method for controlling rodent populations is to eliminate the factors that attract them to your property in the first place. This includes removing sources of food, water, and shelter, such as garbage, standing water, and piles of debris.
4. Traps
Traps are another effective method for controlling rodent populations. Snap traps, glue traps, and live traps are all options that can be used to remove rodents safely and humanely from your property.
Overall, the most effective method for controlling rodent populations is a combination of exclusion, habitat modification, and targeted control measures such as traps or rodenticides.

Mice, rats, and other rodents can carry a wide array of dangerous diseases. Rodents can contaminate food and various surfaces in your home with their feces and urine, putting you at risk of contracting these diseases. Some of the infections carried by rats in particular (such as hantavirus) are lethal in many cases.
There are some natural remedies you can use to help keep rodents out of your home. Mice don’t particularly like peppermint, eucalyptus or citronella. We have an all-natural repellent spray we use around the home in certain situations. Placing steel wool in holes/gaps can also be effective because it will irritate the mouse’s teeth.
Roof rats and Norway rats have similar food preferences, and there are lots of good bait choices. Peanut butter, bacon, chewy candy bars and moistened oatmeal are just a few examples.
