Rat Patrol Rodent Control specializes in rat removal, extermination, and ongoing control throughout Florida, working from three physical locations: Stuart at 8060 SE Paulson Ave., Ft. Pierce at 7600 Immokolee Rd., and a Parkland and South Florida office at 7957 N. University Dr., Suite 1009. The company positions itself as a rodent specialist rather than a general pest control or “bug” firm, emphasizing expertise focused specifically on rats.

The firm follows a three-step service methodology. It begins with an initial consultation and fee quote, then moves to a rapid or same-day inspection that includes trap installation and an exterior assessment to identify entry points. The final step is sealing those openings while trapping any remaining rats. The company stresses distinguishing between roof rats and Norway rats so that the correct control strategy is applied to each situation.

Services include interior trapping, exterior sealing of entry points, attic inspection and disinfection, and full rodent-proofing. Rat Patrol explicitly advises against placing poison inside homes before entry points are sealed, noting the risk of dead rats creating odors inside inaccessible wall cavities, and recommends traps as the primary interior control method instead.

The business cites years of trapping experience and publishes numerous customer testimonials from communities including Parkland, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Plantation, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, and Pembroke Pines. Several reviews mention rapid response, with some customers reporting same-day service within two hours of first contact. Marketing materials emphasize fair pricing, professional service, and permanent solutions intended to prevent reinfestation.

Customers can reach the company through a toll-free line at 855-361-4357, a South Florida line at 954-944-4080, and a Treasure Coast line at 772-919-9080, with email contact available at RatPatrolKevin@gmail.com. The three-office footprint across the Treasure Coast and South Florida anchors the firm’s service area within the state.
