Let’s face it—nobody wants to hear scratching in the walls or find chewed-up food bags in the pantry. But here in Florida? Rodent control isn’t optional. It’s survival.
In Bradenton, roof rats take the top spot. They make up 96 percent of rat control calls across Florida. That’s not just a stat—it’s a wake-up call.
Why You Can’t Just Set a Trap & Hope
Sure, you could grab a couple of traps from the hardware store and hope for the best. But here’s the thing: rodents aren’t guests. They’re full-on squatters. And once they’re in? They’re staying.
That’s why you need a plan that works. That’s why you need Waves Pest Control.
How Waves Pest Control Gets It Done
At Waves Pest Control, we don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in getting rid of rodents—and making sure they don’t come back. Here’s what we do:
- We Find the Entry Points: Rodents don’t knock. They squeeze through vents, cracks, holes, and gaps you didn’t even know existed. We track them down and seal them shut.
- We Eliminate the Problem at the Source: Traps alone won’t cut it. We identify nesting spots, travel routes, and hiding places so we can stop the infestation where it starts.
- We Keep Them Out for Good: Our work doesn’t stop at removal. We focus on prevention, reinforcing your home to keep rodents from sneaking back in.
- We Respond Fast: Rodents won’t wait. Neither will we. When you call, we move quickly—because every day counts.
Waiting Only Makes It Worse
Rodents aren’t just annoying. They’re destructive. They chew wires, ruin insulation, spread bacteria, and leave behind a mess no one wants to clean up.
And the longer they stay, the more damage they cause.

Sure, there are thousands of rodent species worldwide—but here in Bradenton? Only a few are really eyeing your pantry, attic, and cozy crawlspaces. If you’ve spotted droppings or heard scratching, chances are you’re dealing with one of these four culprits:
House Mouse: Small but Seriously Destructive
Don’t let their tiny size fool you. House mice are sneaky, fast, and love nesting in dark, hidden corners of your home. Their favorite hobby? Chewing through electrical wires. Yep, that’s a major fire hazard hiding behind your walls.
Deer Mouse: Cute Face, Scary Risks
Deer mice might look harmless, but these little guys are nothing to mess with. Commonly found near fields or rural areas, they love sneaking indoors when the weather cools down. The real danger? They can carry Hantavirus—a potentially deadly disease that spreads through their droppings and urine.
Norway Rat: Big, Bold, and Burrowing
If you’ve noticed mysterious holes near your foundation or under sheds, say hello to the Norway rat. These burrowers don’t just mess up your landscaping—they dig tunnels under structures, leading to expensive structural damage. Add in the diseases they spread, and you’ve got a serious problem on your hands.
Roof Rat: The Attic Invader
Roof rats are basically acrobats with bad intentions. They enter your home through roofs, trees, and attic vents, making themselves at home above your head. Fun historical fact (that’s not so fun)? Roof rats were linked to spreading the bubonic plague. And while we’re past that, they still carry harmful diseases today.

Let’s be real—no one wants to think about rodents creeping around their home or business. But in Bradenton? It’s a reality you can’t ignore. Whether you’re a homeowner or running a local shop, rodents are sneaky, frustrating, and way too good at staying hidden.
They love to come out when you’re asleep (rude), and by the time you notice them, they’ve probably been throwing nightly parties behind your walls for a while.
Sneaky Signs Rodents Are Already There
Even if you don’t see a mouse or rat, they’re pretty terrible at covering their tracks. Watch for these telltale signs:
Chew Marks Everywhere
Rodents need to gnaw constantly to keep their teeth in check. If you’re spotting chewed wood, cardboard, wires, or even food packaging, congrats—you’ve got uninvited guests.
Weird Grease Smudges Along Walls
Rodents take the same “highways” over and over, rubbing their oily little bodies against walls and baseboards. Those dark streaks? They’re not dirt—they’re a literal rodent road map.
Scratching Sounds at Night
Quiet house + nighttime = prime time for rodents to let loose. If you’re hearing scratching, scampering, or weird rustling noises in the walls or attic? Yeah, they’re in there.
Those Little Black Pellets
Not-so-fun fact: rodent droppings are small, dark, and show up near food, under sinks, or tucked into corners. If you’re finding these, it’s definitely time to call in the pros.

So, we’ve confirmed it: you’ve got rodents in your Bradenton home. Deep breath. Now’s not the time to panic—it’s time to act fast. At Waves Pest Control, we know rats and mice are stubborn little intruders. Getting rid of them (and making sure they don’t come back) takes more than setting a few traps.
Here’s exactly how we tackle it:
Step One: Seal Those Sneaky Entry Points
Did you know a rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime? Yeah—terrifying. They don’t need an open door; they need the tiniest crack, gap, or hole you didn’t even know existed.
What we do:
We inspect every inch of your home or business to find all possible entry points—big or small.
Then we seal them tight with serious materials: wire mesh, steel wool, caulk, weather stripping—you name it.
We secure those sneaky spots around vents, pipes, utility lines, and roof gaps so rodents can’t use them as a secret entrance.
When you block their access, you stop the cycle before it starts again.
Step Two: Trap and Remove the Intruders
Once we’ve sealed the place up, it’s time to evict the ones already inside. Rodents hiding in attics, walls, kitchens—they’ve gotta go.
Here’s how we do it:
We use a mix of snap traps, live traps, and bait traps, depending on the situation.
We place traps strategically in high-activity zones (hello, attic and basement).
We track what we catch, where, and how fast, so we know exactly how deep the problem goes.
It’s not just about catching a mouse or two—it’s about clearing the whole population, no stragglers left behind.
Step Three: Stay Ahead of the Rodents (Because They’re Not Giving Up)
Bradenton’s warm, humid vibes? Perfect for year-round rodent drama. Even after you clear them out, staying rodent-free means staying proactive.
Our prevention game plan includes:
Follow-up inspections to make sure nothing sneaky’s happening after treatment.
Seasonal maintenance plans so we can catch issues before they become infestations.
Practical tips for you—like securing food, decluttering storage, and keeping things clean to make your home less appealing to pests.
We don’t just want you rodent-free today—we want you rodent-free all year long.
Ready to Kick Rodents to the Curb for Good?
Don’t wait for chewed wires or surprise droppings to take over your life. At Waves Pest Control, we’re here to stop the infestation, block their return, and give you real peace of mind.
Call us today at (941) 318-7612 to schedule your inspection. Let’s get those rodents out—and keep them out.

In Bradenton, FL, it usually takes 1 to 4 weeks to fully get rid of a rodent problem, depending on the severity of the infestation and how quickly entry points are sealed. A minor issue may be resolved within a few days with trapping and baiting, while a larger infestation or one with hidden nesting areas may require multiple follow-up visits and monitoring. Rodent exclusion (sealing up entry points) is key to long-term success.
The cost to get rid of rodents in a home in Bradenton, FL typically ranges from $250 to $600, depending on the size of the infestation, how many service visits are needed, and whether exclusion work is included. More extensive infestations that require attic cleanouts, sanitation, or insulation replacement may push costs higher—sometimes exceeding $1,000 for full remediation.
Rodent control in Bradenton should be performed as soon as you notice signs of rodents and followed by quarterly or semi-annual inspections to prevent reinfestation. If your home is prone to rodent issues (due to nearby woods, water, or older construction), ongoing monitoring and maintenance may be recommended. Rodent exclusion work—sealing up entry points—can reduce the need for frequent treatments.
Absolutely! Rodent exclusion is one of the most effective and cost-saving steps you can take for long-term rodent control in Bradenton, FL. By sealing up gaps, vents, and other entry points, you stop rodents from getting inside in the first place, reducing the need for repeated trapping or baiting. While it can cost more upfront, it helps avoid property damage, contamination, and future pest problems—making it well worth the investment.

I was using one of the big brands and was not satisfied with their service, as they didn’t spray inside and left many area unchecked. I will be using the Waves team for quarterly pest control service from now on!
