Rodent Control

Jacksonville is home to sunshine and sandy shores, but also to sneaky rodents trying to crash your paradise. Rats and mice may be dirty, but they’re clever too.

These critters are experts at sneaking into your spaces. When food is scarce or the weather turns wild (as it’s prone to do in the area), they ramp up their efforts.

Don’t fret. Mosquito Joe of the First Coast offers expert rodent control services in Duval and St. Johns County.

Steps to Stopping a Rodent Infestation

Rodents seek food and shelter due to weather fluctuations like heavy rainfall, severe drought, winter chill, or intense summer heat. Jacksonville experiences a large portion of those conditions, so blocking rodents’ access to the necessities they seek is vital. We’ve got some tips to help you do that, starting at the core of your property and working your way outwards:

Keep in mind, rodents have a strong will to survive. They’re plentiful and smart, so it takes vigilance on your part to ward them off.

Rest assured, Mosquito Joe of the First Coast has your back. We’ll create a comprehensive rodent control program for your property in the Jacksonville area. You can always count on us.

  • Always clean up spilled food and water in the kitchen. Store all food in air-tight containers.

  • Keep kitchen garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids.

  • Pick up pet food dishes and water when not actively in use.

  • Patch and repair any holes, however small, in walls between rooms, between the garage and the attic, or leading outdoors. Pay particular attention to the back of cupboards and closets, vents, and around window casings.

  • Inspect all vents, especially along the roof, to be sure the vent covers fit properly and are in good repair.

  • Stop feeding wild birds. Spilled seed attracts and feeds rats and mice.

  • When adding food scraps to the compost, always turn the compost to cover any food scraps fully.

  • Prune any branches that overhang your roof, or that grow close to the roof.

  • Pick up fallen fruit or vegetables in the garden.

  • Keep the grass mowed short, trim shrubs, and remove leaf litter and clutter that can provide shelter.

  • Put your trust in Mosquito Joe of the First Coast, a professional pest control company, to inspect your property and tackle the rodent population effectively.
