St. Pete's mature banyan and oak canopies from Old Northeast to Snell Isle give roof rats a highway system — and older stucco homes have gaps every 6 feet.

St. Pete's oldest neighborhoods — Old Northeast, Historic Kenwood, Crescent Lake — have Pinellas County's worst roof-rat pressure. Barrel-tile roofs, wood-shake trim, and construction dating from the 1920s mean multiple hidden entry points on almost every home.
We work every St. Pete ZIP from downtown to Tyrone. Rat exclusion is always sealed first, snap-station second — poison bait belongs outside in a locked station, never in an attic, because a dead rat in your soffit is a two-week odor problem.
Iguana calls are a growing St. Pete issue along Coffee Pot Bayou and the shell parks. FL law allows humane removal of iguanas from private property year-round.
Roof-rat activity is year-round in St. Pete. Iguana pressure peaks March–October along Coffee Pot Bayou and Snell Isle.

Homeowner near Coffee Pot Blvd heard nightly scratching above the sleeping porch. Marco located ridge-cap gaps and one broken tile on the north slope. Installed hardware-cloth mesh under the ridge, replaced the broken tile, set snap stations. 30-day recheck confirmed zero activity.
Homeowner reported an iguana damaging landscaping and defecating on the pool deck. Danielle located the burrow near the seawall, captured humanely per FWC guidance, and recommended a citrus-and-mothball perimeter to deter returns.
Marco located mom raccoon and two kits behind the chimney chase. Reunion box on the roof for kits, mom relocated the litter overnight, chimney chase sealed with steel flashing, contaminated insulation replaced.
“Marco found nine — nine — entry points on our Old Northeast bungalow. Two other companies had done a 'seal' and the rats were back in a week. This time it stuck.”

Ridge-cap gaps, broken tiles, unscreened attic vents, and pipe boots. A typical St. Pete tile roof has 4–10 entry points; we find and seal them all before setting stations.
Yes. Iguanas are an invasive species in Florida and can be humanely removed from private property year-round under FWC rules. We do not release them.
No. Bait belongs in exterior locked stations only. Poison in an attic causes decomp odor and secondary poisoning risk — we use snap stations plus permanent sealing.
Most calls under 90 minutes. Snell Isle, Downtown, and Historic Kenwood are same-hour when tech availability allows.
Alex crawled the entire soffit line, found three entry points I didn't know about, set a one-way and sealed the rest with heavy mesh. Warranty on the exclusion. Straight shooter.
Diego was patient with my questions and pet-safe about every product. Baited out, dusted voids, followed up at two weeks. Clean kitchen for the first time in a year.
Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.
Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.
Two other companies just kept setting traps. Aaron actually sealed the sill plate and dryer vent — root cause. Traps stayed empty after the third week. Should've called them first.
Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
