⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Professional, thorough, and honest — put my family’s mind at ease”
— Derek T., Fleming Island, FL
With two young kids in the house, finding evidence of rats in our attic was terrifying. Bug-Man came out quickly, did a full inspection from crawl space to roofline, and explained exactly what was going on without trying to oversell us.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Found droppings in my kitchen — Bug-Man had it handled within 24 hours”
— Sandra M., Orange Park, FL
I noticed droppings behind my refrigerator on a Tuesday night and called Bug-Man first thing Wednesday morning. They came out the same day, found the entry points I never would have spotted myself, and set a full baiting and exclusion program. Within two weeks the activity was completely gone.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Third time using Bug-Man — they never disappoint”
— Carol W., Middleburg, FL
They showed up on time, were upfront about the extent of the infestation, and had a clear plan from day one. No runaround, no surprise charges. The exclusion work they did was solid — you can’t even tell where the entry points were.

Hearing Something in Your Attic or Walls?
Rodents are quiet until they’re not. By the time most Jacksonville homeowners notice something is wrong, the problem has already been going on for weeks. Here are the signs we hear about most.
Scratching or Scurrying Sounds
Especially at night in the attic, walls, or ceiling. Rats follow the same paths repeatedly.
Droppings in the Attic or Garage
Small dark droppings along baseboards, behind appliances, or in stored boxes and insulation.
Chewed Wires or Wood
Rodents gnaw constantly. Chewed wiring is a fire hazard and one of the most serious signs.
Roof Rat Entry Points
Common in Jacksonville. They enter through roofline gaps, soffit vents, and AC line penetrations.
Foundation or Crawlspace Gaps
Rodents squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. We inspect the full exterior.
Nesting Material Found
Shredded insulation, fabric, or paper in stored items or the attic means rodents have settled in.

Our 3-Step Rodent Control Process
We don’t just trap and leave. We find where they’re getting in and help make sure they don’t come back.
01
INSPECT
Thorough inspection of your attic, crawlspace, garage, and full exterior. We identify active entry points, nesting areas, and any damage — including spots most homeowners never notice.
02
REMOVE
Strategic trapping and removal. No shortcuts, no guesswork. We follow through until the activity stops completely.
03
EXCLUDE
We seal the entry points — roofline gaps, soffit vents, AC lines, crawlspace openings. This is what makes the fix permanent.
Some homes may also need attic cleanup, disinfectant treatment, or insulation replacement. Ask us about attic restoration services during your inspection.

Real Work. Real Results.
Every job is different — but the goal is always the same: find the problem, fix it, and keep it from coming back.
Thorough inspection of your attic, crawlspace, garage, and full exterior. We identify active entry points, nesting areas, and any damage — including spots most homeowners never notice.

Full attic inspection to identify active nesting areas and access points.
Foundation gap repair — rodents can enter through openings as small as a quarter.
Rodents Can Leave More Than Noise Behind
Once the rodents are gone, the damage they left behind can still be a problem.
Rodents spend most of their time in attics and crawlspaces — and they leave everything behind. Droppings, urine, nesting material, and odors can build up over time, especially in insulation.
If activity has been near your ductwork or air handling areas, the problem may go beyond what you can hear. Contaminated insulation can hold odors long after the infestation is resolved.
Depending on the extent of the damage, some homes may need:
– Attic cleanup and removal of soiled material
– Disinfectant and odor treatment
– Insulation removal and replacement
– Entry point sealing as part of a full restoration
We’ll let you know during the inspection what your home actually needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rodent Control in Jacksonville
How do I know if I have a rodent problem?
The most common signs are scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic or walls — especially at night — droppings near baseboards or stored areas, chewed wires or food packaging, and visible gaps around your roofline or foundation. A free inspection is the fastest way to find out.
How much does rodent control cost in Jacksonville?
Pricing depends on the severity of the infestation, the size of the property, and whether exclusion or cleanup is needed. We offer free inspections so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before committing.
How quickly can you get rid of rats?
In many cases we can start the same day you call. Full removal and exclusion timelines vary, but we move fast because rodent problems don’t wait.
Do you seal entry points after removing the rodents?
Yes. Trapping alone is a temporary fix. We seal the entry points rodents are using — roofline gaps, soffit vents, AC lines, crawlspace openings, and more.
Are roof rats common in Jacksonville?
Very common. Roof rats are widespread in Northeast Florida. They’re excellent climbers and typically enter through the roofline or broken soffit vents. If you hear scratching at night near the ceiling, roof rats are often the cause.
What is rodent exclusion and do I need it?
Rodent exclusion is sealing the entry points rodents use to get inside. Without it, new rodents can move in after removal — sometimes within days. We recommend it as part of any complete solution.
Do you handle attic cleanup after an infestation?
Yes. Depending on severity we can assist with attic cleanup, disinfectant and odor treatment, and insulation removal and replacement. We’ll evaluate what’s needed during the inspection.
Do you provide rodent control outside Jacksonville?
Yes. We serve Jacksonville and nearby areas including Orange Park, Middleburg, Fleming Island, Mandarin, Fruit Cove, Ponte Vedra, and surrounding parts of Duval, Clay, and St. Johns Counties.
Do you handle commercial rodent problems?
Yes. We work with restaurants, offices, warehouses, retail businesses, and property managers across Jacksonville and surrounding counties.
