Droppings along walls
Small, dark droppings in kitchens, garages, attics or under sinks usually mean active rodents. Fresh droppings are soft and dark.

Rodent control
Rodents move in quietly. We find how they get in.
Mice and rats look for shelter, food and warmth, and Jacksonville homes offer all three. A Plus Pesticide inspects the structure, seals the access points we can reach and removes the activity so it does not return the same season.
Rodents in Jacksonville
Roof rats, Norway rats and house mice in Northeast Florida.
Roof rats are the rodent most often found in Florida attics, trees and palm fronds. They climb and nest high. Norway rats tend to live at ground level under decks, sheds and along drainage. House mice move into kitchens, garages and wall voids once temperatures drop.
A house mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil, and rodents breed fast. A few animals in the fall can become a full household problem by spring. Traps catch what you see, but a plan that ignores the entry points lets the population keep coming back.
What to look for
Signs rodents have moved in.
Gnaw marks
Chewed wiring, cardboard, food packaging or wood trim point to a rodent that uses the space regularly.
Scratching in walls or ceilings
Noise after dark in attics or inside walls often means nesting. Rats are most active at night.
Greasy rub marks
Dark smudges along baseboards and pipes come from fur and oils as rodents travel the same routes.
Our process
How A Plus clears a rodent problem.
01: Find the entry pointsWe check the roofline, eaves, garage door seals, utility penetrations and foundation gaps where rodents get in.
02: Remove the activityTargeted baiting and trapping where activity is concentrated, placed with children and pets in mind.
03: Seal and confirmExclusion work closes the openings we can reach, and follow-up visits confirm the activity has stopped.
Common questions
Rodent questions we hear.
Can rodents make my family sick?
Yes. Rodent droppings and urine can spread bacteria and contaminate food and surfaces. Clean droppings with gloves and a disinfectant, and do not sweep or vacuum them dry.
Why do rodents keep coming back after I set traps?
Traps catch the rodents you see, but the population keeps breeding while entry points stay open. Lasting control needs the openings sealed and the nesting areas addressed.
Are rodents more active in cooler months?
Activity often rises when temperatures drop, as rodents look for warm shelter indoors. Attics, garages and wall voids are common hiding spots in Jacksonville homes.
