Roof rat exclusion · Marco Island, Collier County
Roof rat exclusion in Marco Island
On Marco Island, the animal in the attic is a roof rat. We find how it's getting in and seal every gap with materials made for salt air.
Island homes, island conditions
Marco Island homes face salt air, strong sun and Gulf storms. That's hard on soffits, screens and seals, and cheap materials break down fast. That's why we seal with stainless steel and exterior-grade materials.
One local note: mice don't get into buildings on Marco Island. If something is in your attic or walls here, it's a roof rat. Roof rats climb palms, landscaping and screen enclosures to reach the roof, then slip into gaps about the size of a quarter.
Many island homes sit empty for part of the year. Rats can settle in while nobody is there to hear them, so it's worth having the home sealed before you leave for the summer.
Where roof rats get into Marco Island homes
- Soffits and fascia: worn by salt air and sun until panels loosen.
- Pool cage and lanai roof joints: where the enclosure meets the house.
- Tile roof edges: open eave ends under the first row of tiles.
- AC line penetrations: gaps where lines enter the wall or soffit.
- Palms touching the roof: a direct bridge from the yard to the roofline.
- Garage door seals: worn corners at the bottom of the door.
Roof rats come in low too. See garage door seal repair, or read more about how rat exclusion works.

What homeowners say
“Seal Em Out was super easy to work with and very responsive. Took care of the problem completely, and we really liked the no-poison, no-trap option. It's basically like kicking the critters out and locking the door behind them. Very happy we chose Seal Em Out.”
“Paul from Seal Em Out did a fantastic job ridding our attic of rodents. He explained his plan clearly and in detail. He made several return visits to follow-up on his work, making sure the rats were eradicated and all entry points were sealed tight.”
