Before you call: 5 things to know
A quick guide to get the most out of your call.
- An automated assistant answers first and connects you to a local pest control company.
- It usually takes about a minute, so stay on the line.
- A specialist will ask about your pest, your home, and your zip code to match you with the right service.
Be ready to describe what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. A photo from a safe distance helps.
- Droppings (fresh ones are black and shiny)
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, or wood
- Dark rub marks along walls
- Scratching or gnawing sounds at night

- Many companies offer both.
- One-time treatment: can make sense for an isolated problem.
- Ongoing plan (often quarterly): can make sense when pests keep coming back.
- Ask what each option includes, and whether re-treatments between visits are included.
- Price depends on your home, your location, the pest, and the service.
- Initial service: usually higher, because the first visit includes an inspection and the most work.
- Recurring price: monthly or quarterly, if you choose an ongoing plan.
- Ask about contract length and how to cancel.
- Are you licensed in Florida?
- What products will you use, and can I see the label?
- When is it safe to go back in, and is it safe around kids and pets?
- What happens if pests come back?
- What’s the contract length, and how do I cancel?
- Do you seal entry points, and how many follow-up visits are included?
Have ready: your zip code, good times for a visit, and whether you have pets or kids at home.

Signs of a rodents problem
- Droppings along walls, in pantries, or under sinks
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or wiring
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls and ceilings at night
- Nests of shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden corners
What a pest control provider does
A provider inspects for entry points and travel routes, then sets a trapping and baiting plan sized to the problem.
They recommend exclusion — sealing the gaps rodents use to get in — which is what keeps them from coming back.
A follow-up confirms the activity has stopped.
Why it pays to act now
Rodents gnaw on wiring, which is a genuine fire risk, and they contaminate food and surfaces while carrying disease.
Populations grow quickly, so a couple of mice can become a persistent problem in weeks.
