Signs of a Rat or Mouse Infestation
Rodents frequently leave physical evidence before you see a live animal. Finding several signs in food-storage areas, cabinets, wall voids, or utility spaces points to an infestation that needs a closer property inspection.
Watch for these rat and mouse infestation signs:
Droppings: Small droppings around food packages, inside drawers, or under sinks can indicate an infestation.
Nesting material: Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric can show where rodents are building nests.
Gnawing and damage: Chewed food packaging and holes through walls or floors can reveal feeding routes and structural access.
Not seeing a rat or mouse doesn’t mean the property is clear. Rodents tend to avoid people, so droppings, nesting material, and gnaw marks are important evidence.
Rodent Contamination Precautions
Rodents can spread hantavirus through infected urine, droppings, or saliva. Exposure can occur by breathing contaminated particles, touching affected material and then touching your face, or consuming contaminated food.
Don’t handle rodents or contaminated materials with bare hands. Avoid sweeping or vacuuming dry droppings because this can send contaminated dust into the air. Discard food suspected of contamination and wash your hands thoroughly after contact with affected areas.
Roof Rat Entry Points & Prevention
Roof rats are found throughout Florida and readily climb trees, utility lines, and structures. Their hairless tails are longer than the combined length of the head and body, which helps distinguish them from other rodents.
Trim tree limbs away from rooflines, repair storm damage, install chimney caps, and keep yards free of debris. Rodent exclusion, which means sealing structural openings against rodents, should use durable materials such as hardware cloth or steel mesh.
Glue traps shouldn’t be placed where wildlife can become trapped. Rodenticides should be a last resort because they pose risks to native wildlife. When used, EPA-registered rodenticides belong in tamper-resistant stations positioned away from children and pets.
If you’re looking for a company that not only does great lawn and pest control service, you will never find a company that guarantees their work and backs it up like they do. Mat and his crew are the best professionals and hardest-working company that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Call them, you won’t be sorry.

"I recommend you every chance I get"
First of all I have Vince and he was last at my home on February 21 and always does an excellent job. He seems very thorough and very professional. I know I don’t have watch him because he has integrity and pride in his job. I appreciate his hard work.
I also want to mention that Jeff does my mother‘s home in 4 Lakes golf club and her name is Karen Johnson. He came to my mom‘s home to do a service and rang the doorbell. He was talking to my mom for a little bit and after he left, I asked her who was at the door. She said “that’s Jeff my friend and he also does my yard and he’s from COUNTRY BOY. He always checks on me every time he’s here and he wants to know that I’m OK. He also sprays every inch of my yard and I don’t have to worry if it was done right” She said “I would never have anyone else do my yard because I love when Jeff comes to check on me.” I just thought I would mention this because it just made my heart so happy to know that somebody cares enough to check on my 88-year-old mother.
I appreciate your company so much and I’ve had you all coming to me for about four years at my current residence and then previously when I lived at 4 Lakes so it’s a total of eight years. You all are exemplary, professional and I appreciate everything that you do for our family. I recommend you every chance I get.
You are a caring company and you are honest. I can’t say that about every company these days.We appreciate you so much and I thank all of you for your service.

How to Make Your Property Less Attractive to Rodents
Accessible food, water, shelter, and structural openings can attract rodents. Routine property maintenance can reduce these conditions and complement a professional removal plan.
Practical steps include:
Secure food: Store food in closed containers and discard anything suspected of rodent contamination.
Remove shelter: Clear debris from yards and keep storage areas organized.
Limit climbing access: Trim branches away from the roof and consider rat guards on suitable trees.
Seal access points: Close openings with rodent-proof materials to help prevent rodents from returning.
