We're Boynton Beach's Rat-Only Specialists — Not a Generic Pest Company
We remove and seal out rats. Not ants, not roaches, not whatever else a generalist company happens to also be licensed for that week.
We find every rat entry point, seal it with galvanized steel mesh and hardware cloth rated for South Florida’s salt air and humidity, remove rodents humanely, and clean up the attic or crawl space afterward so the home stays odor-free — not just quiet for a few weeks.
Two Rat Types Dominate Boynton Beach Homes
- Roof rats (climbers) — invade attics, soffits, and roofline gaps, usually arriving via palm fronds or overhanging tree branches.
- Norway rats (burrowers) — enter from foundations, crawl spaces, and canal-adjacent yards.
Each requires a different approach, which is exactly why treating rats as a side-service inside a general pest contract rarely holds. We build every inspection around figuring out which one you actually have before deciding where to place a single trap.

- Homeowners hearing scratching or gnawing at night
- Leisureville, Hunters Run, and Golfview Harbour residents with canal-adjacent yards
- Airbnb and VRBO hosts protecting a five-star rating
- Property managers who need photo-documented exclusion reports
- Seasonal owners who want a durable fix while the home sits closed for months
The Boynton Beach Problem — Why Rat Issues Escalate
South Florida’s climate makes rat problems persistent rather than seasonal the way they’d be further north — there’s no winter die-off to reset the population. Instead, the pressure follows a different pattern tied to storms and property turnover:
🌪 Hurricane Season (Jun–Nov)
Wind and rain repeatedly loosen soffit panels and fascia boards. Roof rats find and use new openings within days of a storm.
🏡 Snowbird Return (Oct)
Seasonal residents reopening homes often discover droppings or a nest that's been building for months.
🌙 Cool, Dry Stretch (Dec–Feb)
A scent trail can form in 48–72 hours once one rat finds a way in — others follow it fast.
🌱 Spring Breeding (Mar–May)
Warmer days accelerate breeding. Best window to inspect and seal before hurricane season.
⚠️ Why Waiting Costs More
Delay sealing even a few weeks after a storm, and the cost of the eventual fix tends to climb — chewed insulation, damaged wiring, and contamination spread faster than most homeowners expect.
Our Proven 6-Step Rat Removal Process
1. Quick Phone Triage
You tell us what’s happening — where you’re hearing activity, when, and whether droppings or damage have turned up. We confirm access details so the technician arrives prepared.
2. Full Inspection & Photo Documentation
Attic, roofline, soffits, foundation, garage, and crawl space where accessible. Every entry point is tagged and photographed — no guesswork.
3. Transparent Plan & Written Estimate
You receive a specific price based on inspection findings before any work begins. No vague quotes, no charges added mid-service.
4. Humane Removal
Mechanical traps and one-way exclusion devices placed along established travel routes, matched to whether you’re dealing with roof rats or Norway rats. No attic poisons.
5. Permanent Exclusion & Sealing
Every entry point closed with galvanized steel mesh and hardware cloth — corrosion-resistant materials built for coastal humidity, not foam or caulk, which breaks down within a season or two here.
6. Sanitize, Restore & Follow Up
Contaminated insulation and droppings removed, affected areas sanitized, and a follow-up visit confirms traps are clear and entry points remain sealed.

Pricing & Transparency
No bait-and-switch. Ranges below reflect typical U.S. rat removal pricing for 2026 based on multiple industry cost studies — actual pricing is always confirmed in writing after your inspection.
| Service | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection & Report | $75 – $150 | Usually credited toward approved work |
| Trapping Program (7–14 days) | $150 – $600 | Humane removal; roof rats run higher due to roofline access |
| Standard Exclusion | $300 – $1,500 | Sealing entry points at foundation, soffits, or roofline |
| Roofline / Complex Exclusion | $1,000 – $3,000+ | Roof rat work costs more due to ladder access and extensive sealing |
| Attic / Crawl Space Cleanup | $500 – $2,500+ | Depends on square footage and contamination level |
| STR Emergency Response | $250 – $700 | Fast turnaround, unmarked vehicle |
- Trapping alone is a temporary fix — industry data shows rats return in roughly 60–70% of cases within six months without exclusion work.
- Roof rats cost more than Norway rats to exclude, purely due to roofline and ladder access.
- Most homeowners insurance does not cover rat removal itself, though some policies cover secondary damage like an electrical fire from chewed wiring.
STR Host & Property Manager Workflow
A rodent sighting during a booking rarely stays quiet — guests message through the app, leave it in a review, or ask for a refund on the spot. A national survey by Automatic Trap Company found that 63% of travelers consider rodents the single most serious issue they could encounter at a short-term rental, and 88% would leave a 1-star rating after seeing just one mouse.
- Fast response windows built around your checkout/check-in calendar
- Unmarked vehicles for discreet visits when guests are on-site
- Timestamped photo documentation you can forward through the guest messaging thread
- Optional pre-season inspection ahead of hurricane season
- Lockbox, gate code, or cleaning-crew coordination — most hosts never meet us in person
