Rats and mice don't just get trapped.
They get shut out for good.
Most companies set traps and call it done. Empire Pest Defense finds and seals the entry points rodents are actually using — so the problem doesn't come back next month.
Rats and mice aren't the same problem.
South Florida homes see both — and each one moves, nests, and enters differently. We check for both on every inspection.
The climbers.
South Florida's most common rodent problem. Roof rats travel along power lines, fence tops, and palm fronds, entering through roof gaps, soffits, and attic vents.
- Nest in attics, palm trees & soffits
- Enter through roofline gaps & vents
- Heard most often at night, overhead
The squeezers.
Small enough to fit through a gap the size of a dime. House mice enter at ground level — under doors, through utility penetrations, and foundation cracks.
- Nest in walls, garages & storage areas
- Enter through gaps as small as a dime
- Leave droppings near food storage
If you're seeing any of these, it's already inside.
Droppings
Near food storage, pantries, or along baseboards and cabinets.
Gnaw Marks
On wiring, wood trim, boxes, or bags of stored food.
Nighttime Noise
Scratching or scurrying in the attic, walls, or ceiling after dark.
Grease Trails
Dark smudge marks along walls and baseboards from repeated travel paths.
Exclusion, not just trapping.
Traps remove what's already inside. We stop the next one from ever getting in.
Full Inspection
We check the entire envelope of your home — roofline, soffits, foundation, utility penetrations — for active entry points.
Seal Entry Points
Every gap, vent, and penetration rodents are using gets professionally sealed — this is the step most companies skip.
Trap & Remove
Active rodents already inside are trapped and removed using placements suited to your home's layout.
Follow-Up Monitoring
We confirm the exclusion is holding and check for any new activity — so the problem actually stays gone.
