If you’ve heard scratching in the walls, found droppings in the pantry, or spotted something dart across the garage floor—you’re not alone. Rodent control in Venice, FL is more than just a nuisance service. It’s a necessity.
Florida is a playground for rodents, especially roof rats—the most common offenders in this area. They account for nearly all rodent-related calls across the state. And once they get in, they chew wires, tear insulation, ruin food, and carry disease. Not exactly ideal roommates.
That’s where Waves Pest Control in Venice steps in. We handle rodent infestations from every angle—fast.
Our Approach Is More Than Just Setting Traps
Rodents don’t care how clean your home is or how many traps you’ve laid. They find openings the size of a dime, chew through building materials, and multiply quickly. If you don’t act fast, a few rats can become a full-blown infestation before you’ve had your morning coffee.
Here’s how we handle it:
- Pinpointing the Problem: We inspect your property top to bottom, identifying how they got in—and where they’re hiding.
- Sealing It Up: Rodent control isn’t just about removal. We block future access with durable materials rodents can’t chew through.
- Getting Rid of What’s Already Inside: From trapping to targeted bait stations, we eliminate what’s there—safely, efficiently, and without guesswork.
- Monitoring for Return Guests: We don’t leave you wondering. Follow-up visits help ensure they’re gone for good.
Why Venice Trusts Waves Pest Control
Fast response, because waiting makes it worse
Proven methods backed by local experience
Focus on prevention, not just cleanup
Respect for your home—we treat it like it’s ours
Don’t Let Rats Run the Show
Rodents aren’t going to just disappear. If you think you’ve got a problem—or know you do—it’s time to act. Let Waves Pest Control in Venice handle it from start to finish.
Call (941) 297-3337 today and schedule your rodent inspection. Let’s get your home back to being just yours.

Sure, there are thousands of rodent species out there—but here in Venice, FL, only a few are breaking into homes, chewing through wires, and turning attics into nesting grounds. If you’re hearing scratching at night or spotting droppings in the kitchen, it’s probably one of these usual suspects.
Waves Pest Control in Venice knows exactly what we’re up against—and how to stop them before they turn your home into a rodent resort.
The 4 Rodents Most Likely to Wreck Your Peace in Venice
- House Mice: Small, sneaky, and surprisingly destructive. They love dark corners and wall voids, and they’re not shy about chewing electrical wires or stealing snacks. The worst part? They reproduce fast, and by the time you see one, there’s likely more.
- Deer Mice: More common on the outskirts of town or near open land, these invaders sneak indoors when temperatures drop. Cute as they may seem, they can carry Hantavirus—a serious threat to your health. If they’re in your home, time is not on your side.
- Norway Rats: They dig. They burrow. They cause damage beneath patios, sheds, and foundations. Norway rats are heavy-bodied and relentless—and once they’re settled, good luck getting them out without help.
- Roof Rats: The name says it all. These climbers head for high ground, making your attic or roof space their new hangout. Historically linked to disease, they still carry harmful pathogens and can make your home feel unsafe fast.
What to Do If You Spot One (Or Just Suspect You Did)
Don’t wait. Rodents don’t leave politely, and their damage adds up fast. At Waves Pest Control in Venice, we start with a full inspection to figure out what’s moving in, how they got there, and what it’ll take to stop them.
Then we build a custom plan—trapping, sealing entry points, and helping you keep them out for good. No guesswork, no halfway fixes.
Ready to Kick Rodents Out?
Whether you’re hearing things in the attic or already know what you’re up against, Waves Pest Control in Venice is ready to help.
Call (941) 297-3337 to schedule your rodent control inspection today. Let’s take your home back—quiet, clean, and rodent-free.

Rodents don’t knock before they enter. They sneak in through vents, squeeze under doors, chew through walls, and party in your attic when you’re asleep. Whether you own a home or run a small business in Venice, rodent control isn’t optional—it’s how you protect your space from the kind of damage that shows up quietly, then gets expensive fast.
The good news? Rodents leave clues. You just have to know what to look for—and act before they settle in for good.
Signs You’ve Got Rodents (Even If You Haven’t Seen One Yet)
- Chew Marks That Weren’t There Yesterday: Rodents chew nonstop. It’s how they file their teeth—and destroy insulation, wires, and food packaging in the process. If you’re finding shredded cardboard, wood dust, or gnawed corners, it’s time to pay attention.
- Weird Grease Smudges Along Walls: Rodents are creatures of habit. They run the same paths night after night, leaving greasy rub marks from their fur. If your baseboards suddenly look like someone dragged a dirty rag along them—it wasn’t you, and it wasn’t random.
- Noises in the Night: Scratching. Scurrying. Scampering. If you hear these in your walls, ceiling, or attic when the house is quiet, it’s not your imagination. That’s rodent traffic—and it’s only going to get louder.
- Little Black Droppings in All the Wrong Places: Rodent poop is small, dark, and shows up near food, under sinks, and in tucked-away corners. You don’t need to be a detective to know what it means: they’re there, they’re active, and they’re leaving a mess behind.
Rodent Control Done Right—From the Start
At Waves Pest Control in Venice, we don’t just show up with traps and hope for the best. We look for where rodents are hiding, how they got in, and what it’ll take to keep them out permanently.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We know Venice. That includes the most common rodent entry points, nesting areas, and seasonal patterns.
We don’t use cookie-cutter plans. Your space is unique, and your rodent problem is, too. We build a strategy just for you.
We don’t stop at removal. We patch holes, seal gaps, and give you the kind of prevention plan that actually keeps rodents from coming back.
Don’t Let Rodents Take Over Your Venice Property
If something seems off—chewed wires, late-night noises, droppings where there shouldn’t be—it’s time to bring in the experts.
Call Waves Pest Control at (941) 297-3337 and schedule your rodent inspection today. We’ll get your home or business back to normal—clean, quiet, and completely rodent-free.

Once rodent activity is confirmed, there’s no time to wait. Every day they’re inside, they’re chewing, nesting, and multiplying. With Venice’s warm, pest-friendly climate, rodents don’t take seasons off—and neither do we.
At Waves Pest Control in Venice, we use a multi-step approach that doesn’t just remove rats—it keeps them from coming back. Here’s how we handle it:
Step 1: Seal Them Out—Every Gap, Every Crack
Rodents are escape artists in reverse. They can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime. And unless every possible entry point is sealed, they’ll keep finding a way back in.
Here’s how we block their access:
Inspect the entire property for even the smallest gaps, cracks, and holes
Use proven materials like wire mesh, caulk, steel wool, and weather stripping to seal off entry points
Secure high-risk areas like vents, pipe openings, crawl space access points, and utility lines
No gap left open means fewer chances for a rodent to return.
Step 2: Trap What’s Already Inside
Once the entry points are closed off, we get to work removing what’s already hiding out in your walls, attic, or kitchen.
What we do next:
Choose the right trap for the job—snap traps, live traps, or baited options depending on where and how bad the infestation is
Place traps in the highest activity areas (and yes, we know exactly where to look)
Track every capture, location, and timeline so we know when the problem is truly solved
This step is about full removal—not crossing fingers and hoping they wander into a trap.
Step 3: Stay Ahead of the Comeback
Rodents are persistent. And here in Venice, all it takes is one cool night or a nearby food source to drive them back inside. That’s why long-term protection matters just as much as the initial removal.
Here’s how we prevent repeat problems:
Offer follow-up inspections to make sure your home is still rodent-free
Provide seasonal maintenance plans tailored to your property and the local climate
Give real advice—not just tips—on keeping your space clean, sealed, and uninviting to rodents
It’s not just about what we do—it’s about helping you keep control long after we leave.
Let’s Shut the Door on Rodents—For Good
If you’re seeing signs, hearing movement, or just know something’s off, don’t wait for the damage to pile up.
Call Waves Pest Control in Venice at (941) 297-3337 to schedule your inspection. We’ll remove the rodents, block their path back in, and make sure they don’t come crawling around again.

Jennifer Schulte2025-06-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Waves Pest Control team was through, on-time and provided a great pest control service. 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!
