Scratching and running sounds in the attic at night
We inspect the attic, identify the species and entry points, and set traps along the runways. Most attic jobs clear within seven to fourteen days with follow-up visits.
A Rodent Inspection Fort Pierce FL is the fastest way to find out what is scratching in your attic, chewing under your sink, or leaving droppings behind the fridge. We crawl the attic, check the crawlspace, and map every entry point on your home. Same-day rodent assessment in Fort pierce, seven days a week, for houses, rentals and restaurants across St. Lucie County.

A Rodent Inspection Fort Pierce FL is a top-to-bottom search of your home for rodents, their entry points, and the damage they leave behind. We check the attic, crawlspace, garage, kitchen, wall voids and exterior foundation line. We look for rodent droppings, chewed wires, gnawed insulation, rub marks along baseboards and that dead rodent smell that lingers after a trap snaps. Every gap wider than a quarter inch gets flagged, photographed and measured, because a mouse needs only a dime-sized opening to get inside.
Fort pierce homes sit in a humid, storm-prone climate that pushes rats and mice indoors from October through February, and again after every heavy rain. Older wood-frame houses near Downtown Fort Pierce and Lincoln Park tend to have the worst entry-point problems, while newer slab homes in Fort Pierce South get roof-line and garage-door gaps. If you have heard scratching at 2 a.m. or found droppings in a pantry, a professional rodent assessment Fort Pierce FL gives you a written map of the problem before you spend a dollar on traps.
Every inspection covers the full interior and exterior of your home, plus a written report. Treatment, exclusion and sanitation are quoted separately so you can decide what to do next without pressure.
We enter the attic and crawlspace, check insulation, ductwork, wiring and framing for droppings, rub marks and nesting material. This is where most Fort pierce infestations start.
Foundation gaps, soffit vents, roof penetrations, utility lines and garage seals get measured and photographed. You get a diagram showing every opening wider than a quarter inch.
We pull appliance drawers, check cabinet corners and inspect pantry shelves for droppings and gnaw marks. Kitchen activity usually means the problem has been running for weeks.
Tracking powder and tamper-resistant bait stations confirm whether rodents are currently active and which runways they use. This tells us exactly where to place traps.
You get a same-day report with photos, measurements and a recommended scope. It is yours to keep, whether you hire us for the work or not.
If you want to move forward, we price exclusion, trapping, sanitation and monitoring on the spot. No follow-up sales calls, no pressure to bundle services you do not need.
We ask what you have heard, seen or smelled, and where. Scratching in the attic points one direction; droppings under the kitchen sink point another. This five-minute call lets us load the right tools and, in many cases, offer same-day rodent inspection in Fort Pierce.
We walk the foundation, roofline, soffits, garage door seals and utility penetrations with flashlights and inspection mirrors. We look for rub marks, gnawed wood, fresh droppings and grease trails. Every gap wider than a quarter inch gets photographed and measured.

You get a report with photos, entry-point measurements, damage notes and a recommended scope. If exclusion, trapping or sanitation is needed, we price it on the spot. No pressure, no upsell, just the facts of what we found and what it takes to fix it.
If you want to move forward the same day, we can install exclusion mesh, steel wool and copper mesh at the flagged entry points, set snap traps and live catch traps in safe zones, and schedule a follow-up visit. Most jobs start within 24 to 48 hours of the inspection.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Placed along confirmed runways for fast, humane removal. Snap traps handle rats and mice; live catch traps work when relocation is preferred.
Loaded with Contrac or FirstStrike bait blocks and locked to keep children, pets and non-target wildlife out.
Used to see into wall voids, behind appliances and under crawlspace joists where rodents hide.
Dusted along suspected runways to confirm activity and show exactly which paths rodents are using.
Steel wool, copper mesh and hardware cloth seal gaps at foundation lines, vents and soffits. Sheet metal covers larger openings.
Used to close smaller gaps around plumbing penetrations, utility lines and trim.
Worn during cleanup and sanitation to protect our crew from hantavirus, salmonella and airborne contaminants.
A homeowner heard scratching above the bedroom for three weeks. The attic had rat droppings across 200 square feet of insulation, two chewed duct runs and a nest near the HVAC unit. Entry was through a rusted soffit vent and a gap at the plumbing stack.
We removed the nest, replaced the damaged duct section, sanitized the attic deck, and sealed both entry points with hardware cloth and copper mesh. Trapping cleared the remaining rats in nine days. Follow-up inspection at 30 days showed zero activity.
A health inspection flagged rodent droppings behind the dish station and in dry storage. The restaurant had ten days to correct. Entry points included a gap under the back door and an unsealed pipe penetration in the wall.
We inspected the full kitchen and storage area, sealed both entry points with sheet metal and caulk, installed six numbered bait stations, and provided a written report with photos. The re-inspection passed with no findings.
A guest reported a mouse in the kitchen on a Saturday morning. The unit was booked the following Thursday. Inspection found droppings under the sink, a gap at the sliding door track, and a rusted soffit vent on the ocean-facing side.
We sealed the sliding door gap with exclusion mesh, replaced the soffit vent screen, set snap traps in the kitchen and utility closet, and sanitized the affected cabinets. The unit was guest-ready by Monday. No further sightings reported.
Most calls start with a noise, a smell or a dropping. The inspection turns that vague worry into a specific, fixable problem with a clear price tag.

Most inspections run $150 to $350 in 2026, depending on home size, attic accessibility and whether a crawlspace needs to be entered. Commercial kitchens and multi-unit rentals price slightly higher. If you book exclusion or trapping the same day, we credit a portion of the inspection fee toward the work.
