Rodent Control & Exclusion Services in Florida
At Clements Pest Control, we take a hands-on, science-backed approach to rodent elimination. Our certified technicians assess your entire property, identify every entry point, and apply proven methods that address the problem at its source. We built the RodentShield+ Program around that approach. It is a tiered system designed to give Florida homeowners a clear path to rodent control, whether you need fast removal or a fully sealed and warrantied solution. We serve Vero Beach, Orlando, Naples, Stuart, and surrounding communities across Florida. When you call us, you get a free inspection, an honest recommendation, and a team that stands behind its work.
The RodentShield+ Program
Two Tiers. One Goal: Keep Rodents Out.
The RodentShield+ Program offers two service tiers built around the two most common situations we see in Florida homes.
RodentShield+ Basic is the right call when you have an active infestation and need it handled quickly. A certified technician inspects your property, sets mechanical traps in targeted locations, and returns for 5 follow-up visits over 14 days to monitor activity and confirm removal. It is effective, straightforward, and fast.
RodentShield+ Plus is the right call when you want the problem solved for good. In addition to everything in Basic, our certified technicians physically seal the entry points identified during your inspection using professional-grade exclusion materials. That work is backed by a 1-year warranty. Annual renewal is available so your home stays protected year after year.
Not sure which tier fits your home? Your free inspection will answer that question. No obligation and no pressure.

How RodentShield+ Works
Step 1: Entry Point Inspection
Our trained technicians will thoroughly inspect your property, carefully identifying rodent entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity. Using their expertise, they’ll pinpoint the vulnerabilities that are allowing rodents inside. Once the inspection is complete, we’ll provide you with a clear, straightforward strategy to eliminate the problem and prevent future infestations.
Step 2: Entry Exclusion
We’ll provide you with a free inspection of your home, identifying for potential entry points and indicators of rodent activity. Once we identify the entry points where rodents enter your home, we’ll professionally seal the areas. This constricts the flow of rodents migrating in and out. The rodents left inside the home will be directed to mechanical traps baited with food sources.
Step 3: Trapping & Removal
We utilize mechanical rodent traps and place them out of reach from children and/or pets. The use of such traps means no inaccessible dead rodent bodies and no odor problems. Once installed, we’ll come back each day up to a week to monitor traps and remove dead rodents.
Step 4: Preventative Baiting
After the interior has been secured, your technician will install exterior stations every 50-100 ft (15.2-30.5 m) along the perimeter of your home and property boundary. These stations will be placed discreetly in shrubs or ground cover, and they will be locked to ensure bait remains inaccessible to children and/or pets.
Step 5: Follow-Up and Monitoring
Rodent pressure in Vero Beach does not stop after a single treatment. We schedule follow-up visits to confirm elimination, check exclusion work, and monitor for new activity.

The Clements Commitment
Clements Pest Control has been serving Florida homeowners for over 65 years. We are a family-owned company and we treat every job the way we would want someone to treat our own home. That means a thorough inspection, honest findings, and a real solution that lasts.
Our certified RodentShield+ technicians are trained in exclusion, not just trapping. Trapping removes the rodents that are currently inside. Exclusion closes the openings they used to get in. Both steps together are what produce a result that holds, and that is exactly what RodentShield+ Plus delivers.
When you call us, you will not get a high-pressure sales pitch. You will get a technician who inspects your property thoroughly, tells you what they found, and recommends the tier that actually fits your situation. For many jobs, we can get started the same day as the inspection.
When the work is complete, you will receive documentation of every entry point found and sealed, written warranty terms on RodentShield+ Plus jobs, and a direct line back to our team throughout your coverage period. We show up for every follow-up visit, we track results, and if activity returns within your warranty window, we come back at no charge. No runaround and no fine print. That is how we have operated for over 65 years, and it is how we work today

The cost depends on your home's size, the severity of the infestation, and which service tier fits your situation. RodentShield+ Basic covers inspection, trapping, and 5 follow-up visits. RodentShield+ Plus adds ground-level exclusion work and a 1-year warranty. Because every home is different, we do not publish flat rates. The best starting point is a free inspection, your technician will assess the property and give you a clear recommendation with no obligation to commit.

Roof rats are the most common rodent problem in Florida homes. They are larger than mice, tend to nest up high in attics and wall voids, and are most active at night. Signs include scratching sounds in the ceiling, dark grease marks along rafters or walls, and larger droppings roughly half an inch long. Mice are smaller, leave smaller droppings, and tend to stay closer to the ground in garages, cabinets, and pantries. Both require professional removal, but the trapping approach and entry points we look for differ between the two. A free inspection will tell you exactly what you are dealing with.

They can, if the entry points that let them in are not addressed. Trapping removes the rodents currently inside, but if the gaps, vents, and openings they used to get in are still open, a new population will move in over time. That is the core difference between RodentShield+ Basic and RodentShield+ Plus. RodentShield+ Plus includes ground-level exclusion work to physically seal those entry points, and the work is backed by a 1-year warranty. If activity returns during the warranty period, we come back at no charge.

Florida does not have a hard rodent season the way northern states do, but there are two windows when activity and calls tend to spike. October through November is the busiest period as temperatures drop slightly and rodents start looking for shelter indoors. The rainy season from July through September also drives increased activity as flooding and saturated ground push rodents out of their outdoor habitats and toward homes. That said, roof rats in particular are active year-round in Florida's climate, so there is no truly slow season here the way there is in other parts of the country.
