Roof rat exclusion in Sarasota

From older ranch homes under big oaks to newer tile-roof communities, Sarasota homes give roof rats lots of ways in. We close every one.

Mature trees, older rooflines

Many established Sarasota neighborhoods have big live oaks and palms growing over the roof. Roof rats use those branches as a highway. On older homes, the roofline has had years of sun and storms, so soffits, fascia and vent screens are often loose or damaged.

Newer homes have a different weak spot: small builder gaps at roof returns, around AC lines and at the garage door.

Sarasota is well within our service area. We price by the linear foot and measure by satellite mapping, so getting a quote doesn't require a visit.

Where roof rats get into Sarasota homes

  • Branches over the roof: oaks and palms that let rats walk onto the roofline.
  • Soffits and fascia: older panels that have pulled loose.
  • Gable and roof vents: screens that are torn or missing.
  • Roof returns: openings where rooflines meet.
  • AC line penetrations: gaps where lines enter the house.
  • Garage door seals: worn corners at ground level.

Roof rats come in low too. See garage door seal repair, or read more about how rat exclusion works.
