Palms, canals and Titusville rats
Titusville has a lot of cabbage palms, queen palms and thick landscaping, and roof rats love all of it. They nest in the fronds and dead boots, then run along fences, utility lines and overhanging limbs to the roof. The canals and ponds through town and the brush near the Indian River give them water and cover.
Housing plays a part too. Older block ranches from the 1960s often have worn soffits and gaps around AC lines. Manufactured home communities have open space under the floor, which Norway rats and mice take advantage of. And businesses along US 1 and around the shopping areas near SR 50 deal with rats around dumpsters and loading doors.

How our rodent removal works
Getting rid of rats takes trapping, outdoor control and sealing together. Skipping any one usually brings them back.
Find the nest and the gaps
We inspect the attic, crawl space, garage, roof line and yard for droppings, runways and entry points.
Trap inside
Traps go along the runways and get checked on a schedule. We remove rats until activity stops.
Bait stations outside
Locked bait station boxes around the outside of the house or building reduce the population before rats reach the walls.
Seal for good
Every gap is sealed with chew-proof materials. For a full roof line and foundation job, see Titusville wildlife exclusion.

Omygoodness I never thought I would have to meet Craig but I did! And he was amazing! He immediately answered the phone, told me what he could do / when he would arrive and followed through with what he said. He was prompt, courteous and put me at ease! God willing I will never need him again but if I do I will not hesitate to call him!

Trim the palms before the next breeding cycle
Roof rats breed through most of the year in Florida, so a small group in the fronds can become a big one in a few months. Cutting dead fronds and keeping palms a few feet off the roof takes away their favorite ladder.
Which rat is in your Titusville house
Both roof rats and Norway rats live in Titusville. Here’s how to tell them apart.
| Roof rat | Norway rat |
|---|---|
| Attics, walls, palm trees | Burrows, crawl spaces, sheds |
| Climbs to get in | Gnaws in at ground level |
| Slim with a very long tail | Bigger and heavier, shorter tail |
| Most common in Florida attics | Common under mobile homes and slabs |
Rat damage and health in Titusville homes
Rats chew to keep their teeth in check, and they aren’t picky. Wiring, AC lines, flex duct, insulation and stored boxes all get chewed. In older homes with original wiring, that’s worth taking seriously.
Rodent urine can spread leptospirosis, and droppings build up fast. After removal, we can clean and sanitize the attic or crawl space through our attic cleanup for Titusville homes. For more about our rodent work across the region, see rat removal in Orlando, or our Titusville animal removal page for other animals.
Why we don’t use poison indoors
A poisoned rat can die inside a wall or under the insulation, and the smell lasts for weeks in Florida heat. We trap inside and keep bait stations outside, where they belong.

Titusville rat removal questions, answered
Still wondering about something? Call or text (321) 203-6963.
What does rat removal cost in Titusville?
We quote after we inspect. The cost depends on the number of rats, how many gaps need sealing, whether we’re working in an attic, crawl space or both, and the size of the building. You’ll see the full plan before we start.
How long does rat removal take in Titusville?
Most homes take a couple of weeks of trapping and follow-up visits. Sealing happens during that time. Bigger populations or commercial buildings can take longer.
Do palm trees really bring rats?
Yes, palms are one of the most common roof rat nesting spots in Florida. Trimming dead fronds and keeping palms off the roof line helps. We’ll point out problem trees during the inspection.
Can you get rats out from under a mobile home?
Yes. Mobile homes are one of the most common rat jobs we see in Titusville. We trap under the home, set bait station boxes outside and repair or reinforce the skirting, since sealing the openings is what keeps them out for good.
Do you handle rats for Titusville businesses?
Yes, we work with businesses, HOAs and property managers. The approach is the same: inspection, trapping, bait station boxes and sealing gaps.
