Thorne Pest Solutions handles rodent control for homes and businesses in Orlando, Florida. Our technicians work this part of Orlando every week, so a rodents call here starts with what we already know about local construction, landscaping and moisture — not a generic script.
Roof rats dominate Central Florida. They travel tree limbs, fence lines and utility wires, then slip in at roofline gaps, soffit seams and plumbing penetrations — often several feet above the ground, which is why bait alone in the garage never solves it.
Rodents in Orlando: Roof rats use trees and utilities to reach rooflines and attics.

Rodents pressure in Orlando
Attic activity climbs as nights cool from October through February, but roof rats nest here in every month of the year.
Orlando's year-round warmth means pest control should be ongoing, not one-time.
Heavy summer rain and irrigation create the moisture that drives ants, roaches and rodents.
How the visit works
Full inspection
We inspect the roofline, soffits, vents, plumbing stacks, garage, attic and foundation for entry points and active runways.
Activity assessment
Droppings, rub marks, gnawing and nesting material tell us where they're traveling and how established they are.
Removal
Trapping is placed along actual travel routes rather than scattered randomly.
Exclusion
Entry points are sealed — this is the step that determines whether the problem returns.
Sanitation guidance
We advise on contaminated insulation, droppings and cleanup considerations.
Monitoring
Follow-up visits confirm the activity has stopped and the seal is holding.

What makes rodents such a problem in Orlando?
Rodents in Orlando: Roof rats use trees and utilities to reach rooflines and attics.
I hear scratching in my attic at night — is that rats?
Nighttime scratching and scurrying overhead is a classic roof rat sign in Central Florida. An inspection will confirm it and identify where they're getting in.
Do you seal the entry points or just set traps?
Both. Removal handles the current population and exclusion seals the access. Skipping the sealing step is why rodent problems come back.
How long does rodent control take?
It depends on how established the population is. Most jobs involve an initial service plus follow-up visits over a few weeks to confirm activity has stopped.
