Rodents in Sterling Hill, Florida

Newer communities are built on cleared land beside wooded and undeveloped areas, which pushes displaced rodents toward finished houses. Planned landscaping adds palms, shrubs and trees near rooflines, and ponds provide water. Construction can also leave gaps at utility lines, vents and garage seals. A newer home still needs those entry points checked.

Roof rats, per UF/IFAS Extension, are the most abundant rodent pest in Florida and favor elevated routes and attics.
