Frequently asked questions. *
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. At Ratical Pest Solutions LLC, safety is our top priority. We use EPA-approved, family and pet safe products applied with care according to label directions. Our treatments are designed to protect your loved ones while delivering powerful results—even in Florida’s unpredictable weather.
How long does a treatment last?
Most general pest treatments last between 30–90 days. For consistent protection, we recommend monthly or quarterly service plans tailored to Florida’s climate and pest cycles.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
Usually not. Our treatments are low-impact and designed for minimal disruption. If a specific service requires temporary vacating—like attic fogging or severe infestations—we’ll give you clear guidance so you can plan ahead of time.
What pests are most common in Florida homes?
Florida’s warmth and moisture attract:
Rodents
Ants (ghost, fire, and carpenter)
Cockroaches
Mosquitoes
Flea
Spiders
How do I know if I have a pest infestation?
Watch for:
Droppings or shed skins
Chewed wires or wood
Strange odors or scratching sounds
Live sightings, especially during the day
If you're unsure, we offer thorough inspections to catch problems early—before they escalate.
What are the risks of DIY rodent control?
DIY methods often miss the root of the problem and can be unsafe. Rodents are clever and destructive. Our expert approach targets entry points, nesting zones, and behavior patterns for long-term results—without the guesswork.
How do rodents get into homes?
Rodents can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime. Common entry points include:
Rooflines and soffits
Vents and utility penetrations
Gaps under doors or garage seals We inspect, seal, and monitor to keep them out for good.
Can rodents cause structural damage?
Yes. Rodents chew through insulation, wires (fire hazard!), drywall, and even plumbing. Left unchecked, they can compromise your home’s safety and value.
What’s the best way to prevent rodents long-term?
Our integrated rodent management includes:
Entry point sealing
Baiting and trapping
Ongoing monitoring
Customer education

Do you offer free inspections or quotes?
Yes. We provide no cost, no-obligation inspections and transparent quotes. No hidden fees, no pressure—just honest answers and expert advice.
How often should I schedule pest control?
For most Florida homes, quarterly service is ideal. If you’re in a high-risk area or have recurring issues, monthly plans offer the best protection. We will always notify you before service to ensure you aware of us arriving to your home.
