The problem with most rodent work
100% Money-Back Guarantee
We solve it or you don’t pay.
Why a pest control plan does not end a rat problem
Most rodent jobs in Fort Lauderdale get sold as a recurring service. Someone sets bait, comes back monthly, and collects for as long as you keep paying. The rodents keep coming because nobody ever closed the opening they walk through. Traps empty. Holes do not close themselves.
We do the opposite, and we put our name on it. Every job is covered by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee: we solve it, or you don’t pay. No renewal, no monthly fee, and nothing to keep paying for while the problem carries on.
We do it the other way around. We find every entry point first. Then we seal the building in steel and mortar so the route is gone, and trap what is already inside with traps and a vacuum system rather than poison. That is a repair to your house, and it is why it does not need renewing.
It also means we will sometimes tell you the job is smaller than you feared. A phone call that ends in "that sounds like one open vent, not an infestation" is a good outcome for both of us.

What mice and rats actually use to get in
- Soffit vents with torn or missing screens
- Gaps where the soffit meets the block wall
- Open ends under the first row of barrel tile
- Roof and gable vents, and storm-loosened fascia
- Air conditioning line sets, plumbing and cable through the wall
- Garage door seals that no longer meet the slab
- Dryer and bath vents whose flaps have stopped closing
- Palms, fruit trees and overhead lines running rats to the roofline
The palm tree isn’t the problem. An opening into your home is. We identify the actual entry points and seal them FIRST using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.

Tell us what you’re hearing, seeing or smelling and where it’s happening. We’ll explain our process, discuss pricing and determine the right next step.
Find the Entry Point
This is the most important step. We determine exactly how rats or mice are entering — from attic and roof openings to crawl spaces, structural penetrations and plumbing or sewer systems.
Seal the Entry Points
Once we know how they’re getting in, we permanently seal the identified openings using professional rodent-proof materials. Stop the entry first — then eliminate what’s trapped inside.
Trap & Monitor
We strategically trap and monitor the rodents remaining inside using traps, cameras and, when appropriate, our Rat Vac system. No rodent poison inside your home.
Clean & Sanitize
Droppings, nesting material and contaminated insulation come out, and the space is disinfected rather than just cleared. Insulation is replaced where the contamination went through it.
What we do
Rodent Removal Across Broward County
Our proven process is designed to solve the source of the rodent problem — not just control it.
- Find the Entry Point
- Seal First
- Trap & Monitor
- Clean & Sanitize
Everything starts with determining exactly how rats or mice are getting inside, including potential entry through the soffits, the roof tile, the vents, the garage, the line sets through the wall or the plumbing system. Once identified, we seal the entry points first using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.
Sealing first matters more where there is no winter, because the pressure from outside never lets up and an open house refills as fast as it is emptied. Trapping and monitoring follow, using traps, cameras and the Rat Vac system rather than poison. Then we clean and sanitize and address contaminated insulation where it needs it.
Most pest control in South Florida is sold as a route: a quarterly spray around the foundation for roaches and ants, with a few bait boxes along the fence. That keeps the bugs down, but a bait box never asks how the roof rats got into the attic, so the running overhead carries on between visits.
We are not a pest control company and we do not sell a plan by the quarter. Rats and mice are the whole job, and a rodent problem gets a repair with an end point: the openings found, sealed, and backed by a guarantee.
Rodent Control in Fort Lauderdale, FL
You hear running in the attic after dark, or you are finding droppings in the garage, gnawing in a wall, a chewed wire under the hood, or half-eaten mangoes under the tree. With no winter here to slow them down, it does not go away on its own.
The important question is not how many are inside. It is how they are getting in - and on a block-and-stucco house that is usually the roofline: a soffit vent, the ends of the tile rows, or the line set through the wall.
Fort Lauderdale calls itself the Venice of America, with about 165 miles of canals and waterways running between its streets, from the New River through downtown to the finger islands off Las Olas. That water is Norway rat country: seawalls, docks and canal banks, and the houses that back onto them.
Away from the water it is the roof rat, living in the palms and the fruit trees of the older neighborhoods and running the fences and power lines to the roof. Many houses see both.
We find the entry points first, seal them in steel and mortar, then trap and monitor what is left inside without poison, so nothing dies in a wall you cannot reach. Then we clean up properly. See rodent control services for how the whole job fits together.

Roof rats are most of the rat work here. They live in the palms, the mango and avocado trees and the hedges, run along the fences and overhead lines, and come in at the soffits and the roofline - which is why the sound is so often overhead.
Bait is the wrong answer in this climate. A poisoned rat dies in the attic or inside a wall, and in South Florida heat you will know about it within days.
On the canals and the Intracoastal it is just as often the Norway rat, which lives along the seawalls and comes into a house low, through the garage or along the plumbing.
We trap with traps and the Rat Vac system, seal every opening larger than a quarter of an inch, and clean up properly. No bait, no monthly stations, and a free phone estimate before any of it.

Rodent proofing starts with knowing exactly how rats or mice are getting inside. Once we identify the entry points, we seal them FIRST using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products and professional exclusion materials designed to stop rodents from getting back in.
On a Fort Lauderdale house that means the soffits and soffit vents, the open ends under the barrel tile, roof and gable vents, the line sets and pipes through the block wall, and the garage door and garage-to-house corners.
After a hurricane season, it also means checking what the wind loosened: a soffit panel pulled away or a shifted tile is a new way in at exactly the height a roof rat travels.
We don’t rely on temporary fixes like foam, caulk or steel wool stuffed into a hole. Our exclusion repairs are performed using lifetime-warranted products, and our rodent-resolution service is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.

Two brothers who chose this over television
Their father, David Schuelke Sr., started the business in 1982 and taught his twin sons the trade in high school, in his words so they would have something to fall back on. Jim and Dave have run it since 1992.
In between, a talent agent signed them at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. They shot a Jeep commercial for the 1994 Winter Olympics and appeared on EXTRA. Then they came back to the trade, specifically because of what they thought of its reputation: show up late, walk in with dirty boots, leave a mess.
That is the whole business model. Everything else, including the 626,000-subscriber channel, the training center they built for new hires, and filming the ugly jobs instead of hiding them, follows from it. Read the full story →

FAQ
Rat and mouse control in Fort Lauderdale: common questions
How much does rodent control cost in Fort Lauderdale?
The cost depends on how the rodents are getting in, how extensive the activity is, and what repairs are needed to permanently stop the problem.
We start with a free phone estimate to learn what you’re hearing, seeing or smelling and to explain our process and expected pricing.
If the source of the problem is not obvious, the next step may be our Entry Point Diagnostic, where we determine exactly how rats or mice are getting into the home.
Once the entry points are identified, we can provide the scope and pricing for sealing, trapping and monitoring, and cleanup as needed.
No monthly bait program. Our goal is to find the source and solve the problem permanently.
Is there a rodent season here?
Not really, and that is the problem. With no winter to knock them back, rats and mice breed all year, and the summer rain and heat push them toward shelter. An open house stays occupied until the openings are closed.
Do you use poison?
No. We don’t use rodent poison inside your home. Poison can leave a rodent dying in an inaccessible wall or ceiling cavity, creating odor and potentially attracting flies — and it still doesn’t solve the most important problem: how the rodent got inside in the first place.
Our approach is different. We find the entry points and seal them first. Then we use specialized trapping systems and rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to quickly and efficiently eliminate what remains inside and verify activity has stopped.
Find it. Seal it. Trap & monitor it. Solve it for good.
How do you remove rodents from inside walls and ceilings?
We specialize in fast removal of rodents living inside walls and ceilings. After we locate their entry points and seal them, we strategically deploy our specialized trapping and monitoring systems.
One of those systems is our patented Rat Vac trapping device, which is designed to extract multiple rodents using a single bait setup — with capacity for up to 60 mice or 33 rats.
The rodents are captured in a self-contained system, helping keep the trapping process contained and away from children and pets. We also use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to track activity and help confirm when the problem has been eliminated.
No poison in your walls. No guessing. Find the entry point. Seal it. Then get them out — fast.
Do rats really live in palm trees?
They do. A palm with its dead fronds left on is cover and a nest site well off the ground, and a mango or avocado tree next to it is the food. From there it is a short run along a fence, a branch or an overhead line to the roofline. Trimming helps; sealing the house is what ends it.
Which parts of Fort Lauderdale do you cover?
The whole city: the beach and the Galt Ocean Mile, the canal neighborhoods off Las Olas, Victoria Park and Rio Vista, downtown along the New River, and west of I-95 out to the city line. Pompano Beach has its own office on Dixie Highway, and Pembroke Park its own on South Park Road.
My home sits empty part of the year. What should I do?
Call before you leave rather than after you get back. A closed house with nobody in it for months is exactly where a roof rat settles in. Sealing the openings in spring means there is nothing to find in the autumn.
What does your 100% money-back guarantee mean?
It means we stand behind our work. If you hire us to solve your rodent problem, we confirm the source of the infestation, complete the recommended work, and if we don’t solve the problem, you get your money back.
That’s also why we use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas. We don’t just set traps and assume the problem is gone — we monitor rodent activity to help verify that the problem has been resolved.
Our goal is simple: find how they’re getting in, seal the entry points, eliminate what remains, and solve the problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
Guarantee subject to the terms of your service agreement and completion of the recommended scope of work.
Do you handle the cleanup and contaminated insulation?
Yes. Once the rodent problem is resolved, we remove droppings, nesting materials and contaminated insulation where needed. We then clean, sanitize and deodorize affected areas using TwinZyme, our professional-strength enzyme treatment designed to break down rodent-related organic waste and odors.
Insulation can also be replaced where necessary.
We don’t just remove the rodents — we help remove what they left behind.
Do you offer a free inspection?
Over the phone, yes. The free inspection is a call rather than a visit: you tell us what you are hearing, where in the house and at what time of day, and we tell you what that points to and how we would deal with it. No charge, and nothing to book.
What we do not do is a free walk-around. Finding the entry points is the job itself rather than a sales visit, so we would rather be straight about which part costs nothing and which part is the work.
Do you do termites, roaches or other pests?
No. We do rats and mice, and that is the whole list. No termites, no roaches, no ants, no mosquitoes, and no quarterly pest treatment of any kind.
If another pest is your actual problem, we are not your call, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than book you in.
Where are you hearing it?
Attic / Ceiling / Walls
Scratching overhead or inside walls.
Crawl Space / Under Floors
Noises or activity beneath the home.
Sewer / Plumbing
Rats appearing with no obvious exterior entry.
Any of the three is worth a call. Tell us what you are hearing and where, and we will tell you what it usually means: get a free phone estimate, or call (954) 654-7552.
