What’s Important To Know About Rodents
Rodents aren’t merely nuisances. They also threaten your health and home and can bring more pests into your house. So, pest and rodent control in Clermont, FL, is a must. The more you know, the more you can effectively do to keep them away. Knowing that the rats and mice are seeking shelter, food, and water can allow you to find strategies to prevent them from finding what they need.
Many times, you won’t specifically see the rodents. Instead, you’ll spot signs such as these:
- Sounds: Scurrying and scratching noises at night can indicate rodent movement in your walls or attic. Sounds are often one of the earliest infestation signs.
- Track marks: Rodents’ oily fur means that they create dirty or greasy marks as they scurry along baseboards and walls.
- Nests: Rats and mice seek places where they won’t be disturbed, favoring dark, out-of-the-way hiding spots. Even if you don’t see the nests they’re building, you may see what they’re using, including shredded paper, packing materials, and/or piles of fabric or insulation.
- Chewing signs: Rodents frequently gnaw to sharpen their teeth. In a home, that can include wood that’s required for structural integrity, wires, pipes, and more.
- Waste: Droppings can be found wherever rats and mice seek food, including in cabinets and kitchen pantries, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, along baseboards, in cardboard containers, and more. Wear gloves whenever you clean up these pellets, as they can trigger allergies, aggravate asthma, and spread disease.
Threats That Rodents Pose in Clermont, FL
From being an annoyance to posing bigger problems, here are threats caused by rodents that make pest and rodent control in Clermont, FL, a must.
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.

Clermont Rodent Removal and Prevention Strategies
Because rodents live throughout Florida and the rest of the U.S., there’s no foolproof way to keep rats and mice out. But you can take these actions to reduce the likelihood:
- Seal entry points: Search for holes in walls, including where utilities, plumbing, and cables come inside. Inspect doors and windows, caulking, weatherstripping, and repairing and replacing screens.
- Deprive them of food and water: Wipe up spills, clean counters and floors of crumbs, store food in airtight containers, fix water leaks, and remove your pets’ food and water bowls, inside and out, when they’re done eating.
- Install rain gutters or keep current ones clean: As the gutters channel water away from the foundation, they help prevent rodents and other pests from entering.
- Move mulch: Keep it at least several inches from your home’s foundation to prevent rodents from building nests close to your house.
- Garbage cans: Seal outdoor garbage cans tightly.
- Reach out: Contact professional pest and rodent control in Clermont, FL, as soon as you spot a problem. This allows us to more quickly disrupt their breeding cycle.
The reality is that rodents pose significant threats. They directly spread diseases such as Hantavirus, bubonic plague, salmonellosis, and rat-bite fever. They also indirectly spread them; when fleas, ticks, and mites feast on an infected rat’s blood, they can transmit the diseases carried by the rodents.
Rodents damage homes as they chew through wood, wallboard, wiring, cardboard, insulation, and more, which poses significant risks to your home. If they get under the hood of your vehicle, they can damage the wiring.
