You’ll sleep soundly knowing your family is safe from disease-carrying rodents. No more scratching in the walls at 3 AM or finding droppings in your kitchen cabinets.
Your property stays protected from the thousands of dollars in damage that rodents cause every year in Florida. Rodents gnawing on electrical wires cause 20% of fires, and they’ll chew through insulation, ductwork, and plumbing if left unchecked.
Most importantly, you get back to enjoying your home without the stress and health risks that come with rodent infestations.
ProControl Management Services has protected Eldred homes since 2006. We understand exactly what you’re dealing with because we live and work in St. Lucie County too.
We are a locally owned and operated pest control company serving St. Lucie County. We understand the unique pest challenges faced by homeowners and businesses in our area. Florida’s year-round warm climate means rodents never go dormant like they do up north.
We have a 5.0 Star Rating from 126 reviewers, and we’re licensed, insured, and committed to eco-friendly solutions that protect your family and pets.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of your rodent problem. Most homeowners are surprised by how many access points rodents use – they can squeeze through holes smaller than a quarter.
Next, we eliminate the current infestation using targeted trapping and eco-friendly methods. We place traps strategically based on rodent behavior patterns, not just randomly around your house.
Finally, we seal entry points and implement exclusion measures to prevent future infestations. This is what separates professional rodent control from DIY attempts – we stop the problem at its source so you don’t keep dealing with the same issue over and over.
Your rodent control service includes comprehensive inspection, targeted elimination, and long-term prevention. We handle mice, rats, squirrels, and other wildlife that commonly invade Eldred homes.
South Florida’s humid weather and dense vegetation provide the perfect breeding ground for rodent infestations. The year-round warmth and proximity to water sources attract these pests, creating persistent challenges for homeowners and businesses alike. That’s why your service includes ongoing monitoring to catch problems before they become major infestations.
We also provide sanitization services to clean up contaminated areas and eliminate health hazards left behind by rodents. Rodents are known to spread as many as 35 different diseases to humans worldwide, so proper cleanup is essential for your family’s safety.
The most obvious sign is hearing scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds in your walls or attic, especially at night when rodents are most active. You might also find small, dark droppings about the size of rice grains in cabinets, drawers, or along baseboards.
Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or electrical wires. Rodents need to constantly chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing. You may also notice greasy rub marks along walls where rodents travel, or find nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric in hidden areas.
If you smell a persistent musky odor, especially in enclosed spaces, this could indicate a large infestation or dead rodents in your walls.
Yes, rodents pose serious health risks to Florida families. Rodents are known to spread as many as 35 different diseases to humans worldwide. These diseases can be spread through direct contact with rodents or their feces, urine, saliva, or by bites.
In Florida specifically, rodents can carry diseases like leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and rat lungworm disease. They also bring in fleas, ticks, and mites that can cause additional health problems. Their droppings become airborne when disturbed, which means you can inhale dangerous particles just by cleaning contaminated areas.
Young children should not handle rodents and pregnant women should avoid contact or being in confined spaces with rodents. Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised should be very careful to protect themselves from rodent-carried illnesses.
Rodents cause devastating damage that gets expensive quickly. Rodents gnawing on electrical wires cause 20% of fires, which means they’re literally creating fire hazards in your walls. They also chew through plumbing lines, causing water damage and expensive repairs.
If you wait too long to get rid of a rodent infestation, it can be costly. You may need to replumb, rewire, redo your ductwork, replace insulation, and decontaminate your attic. This can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Beyond structural damage, rodents contaminate insulation with urine and droppings, destroy stored items, and damage HVAC systems by chewing through ductwork. The longer you wait to address the problem, the more expensive the repairs become.
DIY rodent control rarely solves the actual problem because it doesn’t address why rodents are getting in or where they’re nesting. Store-bought traps might catch a few rodents, but if you haven’t sealed entry points, more will keep coming.
Rodents are also much smarter than most people realize. They learn to avoid traps that have caught other rodents, and they have multiple escape routes planned. Professional exterminators understand rodent behavior patterns and know exactly where to place traps for maximum effectiveness.
Most importantly, DIY approaches don’t include proper cleanup and sanitization. Handling contaminated materials without proper protection puts your family at risk for disease transmission. Professional services include safe cleanup and prevention strategies that actually solve the problem long-term.
Most active infestations can be controlled within 1-2 weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of the infestation and how long it’s been established. Small, recent infestations often see results within a few days of treatment.
Larger infestations that have been present for months may take 2-4 weeks to completely eliminate. We typically schedule follow-up visits every few days initially to check traps and monitor progress, then space visits further apart as the population decreases.
The key is acting quickly once you notice signs of rodents. Waiting will only cost you more money in the long run. The longer rodents are in the house the more damage they do and the harder they are to get rid of. We offer 24/7 emergency services for urgent situations.
We focus on permanent solutions, not just temporary fixes. While other companies might just set a few traps and leave, we identify and seal every entry point to prevent future infestations. Our approach combines elimination, exclusion, and ongoing monitoring.
Everyone here is patient, kind, caring, extremely knowledgeable and will do whatever it takes to go above and beyond in our customer service. We’re locally owned and have been serving St. Lucie County since 2006, so we understand exactly what Eldred homeowners face.
We also use eco-friendly methods that are safe for your family and pets, offer free estimates, and back all our work with a satisfaction guarantee. We have a 5.0 Star Rating from 126 reviewers because we actually solve the problem instead of just treating symptoms.
