🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS 🚨
Have you noticed droppings in your attic, heard scratching noises at night, or been told you have rats?
Before spending thousands of dollars on rodent trapping and exclusions, there is something every homeowner should know.
Brevard County and surrounding areas are seeing a rapid increase in Peter's Rock Agamas (Agama picticauda), an invasive lizard species that has become extremely common throughout Central Florida.
Here's the problem:
🔹 Their droppings can closely resemble roof rat droppings.
🔹 They can enter attic spaces and wall voids.
🔹 They can create noises that sound very similar to rodents moving through an attic.
🔹 Traditional rodent trapping will NOT solve a lizard problem.
Unfortunately, we've seen situations where homeowners were told they had rodents when the evidence actually pointed to lizards. The result can be unnecessary trapping programs and expensive repairs that don't address the real issue.
The good news?
✔️ Lizard infestations CAN be excluded.
✔️ The inspection process is different.
✔️ The exclusion methods are different.
✔️ Correct identification can save homeowners thousands of dollars.
At American Family Pest Control, we take the time to identify the actual pest before recommending a solution. Whether it's rodents, lizards, or another attic invader, the right diagnosis leads to the right fix.
If you're hearing noises in your attic or have discovered droppings and aren't sure what you're dealing with, give us a call before making a major investment.
