Unwanted Pests
Rodent
Managment
Some people call it “Snowbird Season”,
anyone who’s ever had rodents before calls it rat season. Whatever you call it, this is the time of year Florida
residents are extra cautious of these destructive pests. Our cooler winter weather can drive rodents inside our attics
and with our citrus season in bloom they are breeding outdoors with plenty to eat.
Rats consume and destroy stored
animal and human food, attack fruit crops, and take up residence in attics, soffits, hollow walls, and out-buildings. When
they invade buildings they chew through wires (potentially starting fires), gnaw through plastic and lead water pipes, make
holes in walls and cause other structural damage.
Control Control of roof rats is not an easy task. Integrated
pest management is needed to control these pests. The tools of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) include inspection; cultural
control (prevention and habitat management); physical control (trapping and exclusion); biological control (predators); and--if
needed--chemical control (rodenticides and repellents).
