FAST, EFFECTIVE EXTERMINATION OF MICE AND RATS
When you have rodent trouble, a solution can’t wait.
Professional Titusville Rodent Control Services
Just a few rats or mice can rapidly multiply into a true infestation. Let us help!
Titusville’s subtropical climate and diverse habitats attract rodents from forests and farmland to wetlands. Then, Titusville homes provide rats and mice with the food, water, and shelter they need.
You won’t want a small population to turn into a large one if they find their way into your home. Contact Turner Pest Control in Titusville for expert rodent exterminating services and stop their growth in its tracks. We’ll respond promptly and use cutting-edge techniques to remove rodents from your home and keep them out.
Turner’s Rodent Control in Titusville
Each female rat can give birth every three weeks, so addressing the issue as soon as you spot a problem to prevent explosive population growth is crucial. Our expert technicians will identify the species and strategically place baited traps, using the bait material the targeted species prefers. We’ll also provide exclusion services in which we find and close up potential entry points to keep rodents out in the future.
Types of rodents commonly found in Titusville include these:
- Deer mice: Reddish brown to gray with white feet and belly, this species is also called a field mouse or white-footed mouse.
- House mouse: A gray or light brown shade, the house mouse can be nearly black with large ears. It can visit a food source two hundred times a night.
- Norway rat: Robust in body, this species (also called the brown rat or sewer rat) can be gray-brown, reddish brown, or nearly black.
- Roof rat: Gray to black in hue, it’s also called the black rat or ship rat. More slender than the Norway species, its tail is longer than the head and body combined.
Our rodent control in Titusville effectively addresses infestations, starting with a free home inspection during which our expert rodent exterminator finds their entry points and where they feed, nest, and breed. We’ll devise a personalized plan using this intel, leveraging our extensive experience to meet your specific needs, whether a small population or a severe infestation.
Our Titusville rodent control employs two options: rodenticide bait and snap traps. We’ll focus on the best treatment for your unique needs; snap traps are safer for children and pets. Our rodent monitoring program requires our rodent exterminator to return regularly to empty traps and relocate stations until the problem is resolved.
What To Know About Rodents
Rodents threaten a family’s health and home and bring along more pests. So, both pest and rodent control are needed to create a pest-free environment. Even if you don’t actually see the rodents, signs that indicate their presence include these:
- Sounds: Sounds are among the earliest infestation signs; you may hear scurrying and scratching noises at night in your walls or attic.
- Track marks: Dirty or greasy marks along baseboards and walls are often created by rodents’ oily fur.
- Nests: Rodents prefer dark hiding spots where they won’t be disturbed. You might see shredded paper, packing materials, and/or piles of fabric or insulation that they’re using to build their nests.
- Gnawing signs: Rodents sharpen their teeth regularly on a home’s structural wood, wires, pipes, and so forth.
- Droppings: Waste can be found in cabinets, kitchen pantries, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, along baseboards, in cardboard containers, and more.
Threats Posed by Rats & Mice
Here are some threats that make rodent control in Titusville a necessity.
DANGERS
Rodents can carry diseases that can be contracted by having contact with their feces, saliva, urine, or bodies, or by being bitten. They also indirectly spread disease through insects that have fed on them.
DIET
Mice and rats will eat any type of food they find. While they don’t consume wiring or wood, they chew them to sharpen their teeth or create nests. Chewed wiring in your home or vehicle can lead to a fire.
INFESTATION SIGNS
Even if you don’t see a rodent, you may see their signs: droppings along baseboards, in boxes, or where food is stored or prepared. You may see damage they’ve done to food packaging or hear them moving around.
PREVENTION
Keep rodents away by taking away their access to your food—store food in sealed containers that rodents can’t chew through. You should also find and eliminate their entry points, even those as small as a quarter of an inch.

Titusville Rodent Prevention Strategies
Although no method is foolproof, ways to reduce the likelihood that rodents get inside include:
- Close up entry points: Look for gaps in walls where utilities and pipes come in, doors, windows, screens, and more.
- Prevent them from accessing food and water: Clean up after eating, wipe up spills, sweep up crumbs, and place food in airtight containers. Fix water leaks.
- Use rain gutters: They channel water away from the foundation; maintain them to eliminate another entry point.
- Move mulch: Place it several inches from your foundation; otherwise, rodents can build nests next to your house.
- Garbage cans: Firmly lid outdoor cans, keeping them away from your home’s foundation.
If they get inside, reach out for pest and rodent control! Rodents spread significant diseases, including hantavirus, bubonic plague, salmonellosis, and rat-bite fever. Fleas, ticks, and mites also indirectly transmit diseases carried by rodents.
Rodents also pose significant risks to your house as they chew through wood, wallboard, wiring, cardboard, insulation, and more.
