Rodent Control in Pace, FL
Pace is growing fast, with new subdivisions being carved out of Santa Rosa County's wooded areas every year. That development displaces rats and mice from their natural habitat, pushing them into established and newly-built homes in search of shelter. Properties on the edge of wooded areas and new construction zones face the highest rodent pressure. Roof rats are the dominant species, using tree canopy to access homes through rooflines and soffits.
Cadenhead Services provides comprehensive rodent control for Pace homeowners — trapping, removal, and permanent exclusion to prevent re-infestation.
Signs of Rodent Activity
- Scratching or running sounds in attic or walls after dark
- Droppings in cabinets, pantry, garage, or attic spaces
- Gnaw marks on wood, wiring, or food packages
- Grease marks along walls or beams near entry points
- Nesting material (shredded insulation, fabric, paper) in attic
Our Rodent Control Process
We start with a thorough inspection of your home's exterior, roofline, attic, and crawl space to locate all entry points and assess the extent of activity. We deploy an appropriate trapping program and service it on a regular schedule until all activity stops. Once the infestation is resolved, we perform exclusion work — sealing every identified entry point with steel mesh, foam, and appropriate materials. We also provide recommendations for vegetation management and sanitation.
