Rat Removal at Florida Barn – Efficient Infestation Control in Storage Areas

Project Overview

Barns, feed rooms, and agricultural outbuildings are common nesting sites for rats in Florida. With access to food sources, shelter, and water, rats can quickly establish colonies that spread disease, contaminate feed, and damage stored equipment.

In this case, the signs of infestation were clear:

Rat droppings concentrated in storage cabinets and shelving
Rubbing marks (brown, greasy streaks) along walls and entry points
Active movement of rats inside the barn

Because rats reproduce quickly, any delay in pest control would have allowed the infestation to grow, increasing risks to animals, stored goods, and the structural integrity of the barn.

Challenges

Heavy Infestation: Multiple rats were active in the structure at the same time.
Sanitation Hazards: Droppings and urine raised concerns of contamination.
Agricultural Setting: Openings in barn siding and gaps around foundations made sealing difficult.

Our Approach

Deployed multiple cage traps and removed rats the same day.
Documented droppings, rub marks, and nesting areas to show where the infestation was concentrated.
Cleaned affected storage areas to reduce contamination risks.
Provided recommendations for exclusion work to block entry points and limit future rodent access.

Results

The infestation was efficiently resolved within a single day. Several rats were removed from the barn, droppings were cleared from the storage areas, and the client received detailed recommendations to reduce the chance of future infestations.

By taking swift action, the property owner was able to protect their barn, stored feed, and livestock from further contamination and damage.
