Signs You Need Mosquito Joe’s Rat Repellent in Melbourne, FL
-
Signs of Nesting
Rats are experts at staying hidden, often going unnoticed until their numbers grow. They build nests using shredded materials like paper and fabric, tucking them away in walls, attics, or hidden corners of your property. Spotting these signs early can help prevent a full-blown infestation.
-
Unusual Pet Behavior
Pets have a keen sense of smell and hearing, often detecting pests before we do. If your dog or cat seems restless, fixates on certain areas, or appears to be tracking something unseen, they may be sensing a rat’s presence.
-
Droppings
Rat droppings are a telltale sign of an infestation. These quarter inch, pointed pellets start out dark, moist, and soft but dry over time, turning gray or tan. If you notice an unpleasant odor or fresh droppings, it’s time to take action.

We used mosquito Joe to treat our property for Thanksgiving and we were amazed with the results! Were normally getting eaten alive in the backyard but on Thanksgiving we had no bites! Our technician Jesse was knowledgeable and very polite. Me and my family seriously recommend their service to anyone getting harassed by Florida’s mosquitos!

Live near ponds or water or have a pool, it still works and is better than any other service or product, and is reasonably priced. Try it and you too will become an instant believer.

FAQ About Rat Extermination Services
If you notice any of the signs of a rat infestation in your home or on your property, call your locally owned and operated Mosquito Joe. As part of our pest control services, we provide expert rat extermination services near you that take the scuttling, scurrying critters out of your way.
-
When we catch the infestation early, we can get rid of rats within one to three days. Getting rid of a more established population can take up to a few weeks.
-
Preventing rats from coming back requires a multi-pronged approach:
- Seal all holes, gaps, and cracks in the walls
- Keep spilled birdseed and any fallen fruits and vegetables in the garden picked up
- Keep all trash cans tightly sealed
- Keep trees and shrubs trimmed and away from the house walls
- Repel rats with peppermint essential oil
- Use bait or poison only well away from your home, out of reach of children and pets
- Use professional rat control services
-
Our entire rat control service is designed to keep your household’s well-being in mind. We don’t use any poisons or toxic substances. We trap and remove the rats on your property and prevent their return.
-
If you’re considering using rat poison or rodenticide on your own, remember that it can be highly toxic and carry serious risks if not handled or stored correctly. To ensure the effective removal of rats, we recommend you rely on professional rat removal services.
-
It is possible to thoroughly get rid of rats on your property and keep them from taking up residence again. Continue to seal any cracks or gaps they might use to access your home and keep your property clean. This helps block their access to food, water, and shelter needed for survival.
-
If you find small piles of shredded fabric mixed with leaves, insulation, paper, and other debris in your home, call for rat extermination services near you. There may be foul odors as their urine gives off the smell of stale ammonia. If a rat dies in your home, the pungent odor of rot can linger for weeks. Rats chew through plastic, cardboard boxes, drywall, and anything else to reach the food they seek; if you see chewing marks on food containers, cupboard doors, or baseboards, you likely have rats running around. Skittering, scratching, and scampering sounds are indicators of rats. Those strange sounds of rustling and scurrying at night are rats going about their nocturnal business of eating, mating, and moving about your property. There may also be greasy streaks on your baseboards. Rats move around by sticking close to the baseboards, and the oils in their fur, the dirt on their feet, and the urine they walk through create greasy streaks along baseboards and walls.
-
Droppings are most common where the rats are most active, so check:
- Around the kitchen
- Near food storage
- Near the trash can
- Near pet food and water
- Along walls and baseboards
- In attics, lofts, and basements
