Scratching overhead at night
Light, quick scurrying above the ceiling after dark is the classic first sign. Roof rats nest in attics and do most of their moving at night.
Rats and mice don’t need a door. A rat needs a half-inch gap, and that’s where the fix starts.
Roof rats are Florida’s most common rat, and they travel the way Clermont is built: up palms and citrus, along fences and power lines, onto the roof. Mice come in low, through a quarter-inch gap under a door or around a pipe.
Webenex finds where yours get in, shows you the whole route, and sets tamper-resistant stations we check every month. The inspection is a flat $125, priced before anyone shows up. Businesses and HOAs, call or text (407) 360-7325 for a free site inspection. During business hours, we get back to you within 15 minutes.

Customer Portal →What you’re noticing
Three rodents cause most of the trouble in Florida buildings: roof rats, house mice and, less often, Norway rats. They leave different evidence in different places. Roof rats live up high. Mice live close to food.
Overhead
Usually roof rats. They climb, and they nest high.
Light, quick scurrying above the ceiling after dark is the classic first sign. Roof rats nest in attics and do most of their moving at night.
Rodents gnaw constantly, and attic wiring and joists are in the way. Look for bare copper, gnawed wood and insulation pulled into runs near the eaves.
Greasy rub marks along rafters and the tops of walls mark a route they use every night. Roof rats also leave swing marks where they loop under beams.
Down low
Often mice. They live close to food, in kitchen cabinets and dry storage.
Size tells you who it is. Fresh droppings are dark and shiny. Before you clean up, take a photo next to a coin for scale.
One mouse is rarely alone. Mice stay close to home, so the nest is usually near where you saw it: behind an appliance, under a cabinet, in a wall.
A stale, sour odor in one spot is often a rodent that died in a wall or attic, especially after store-bought poison went out.
Outside
Roof rats on their way in.
Roof rats eat citrus right on the branch and leave the peel hanging: a neat round hole, the fruit scooped out.
Roof rats travel above the ground on fence rails, cable and power lines, vines and branches. Where they run is where they get onto the roof.
Dead fronds left hanging under a palm make a sheltered nest site, often right next to the roof. UF/IFAS recommends pruning them on palms near buildings.
Not sure what you’re hearing? The inspection tells you what it is, how serious it is and exactly how it’s getting in.
How they get in
A roof rat’s night runs from the palm to your attic. More poison doesn’t shut that route. Closing the gaps and guarding what’s left does.
Step 1 · Dusk
Roof rats are Florida’s most abundant rodent pest. They live up high, not in burrows: in attics, and in the skirt of dead fronds under a palm. Backyard citrus feeds them, and a hollowed-out orange still on the tree is often the first sign.
Prices for homes
Most rodent problems start with a question, not a treatment: what is it, how bad is it, and how is it getting in? The inspection answers all three. Already know you have rats or mice around the property? Book the stations directly. Businesses, property managers and HOAs get a free site inspection instead: call or text (407) 360-7325.
Condo or townhome? Same flat $125. The inspection shows whether they’re getting in through your unit or a shared wall, roof or common area, so you know what’s yours to fix and what to hand your HOA.
Where are you starting?
How the two fit together. The inspection finds the activity and every way in. Stations hold the routes that can’t be removed, like the fence line and the power line.
The inspection usually comes first, and stations usually come next, sized to what we find.
Want bugs and termites covered too? The Works bundles rodent stations with quarterly pest control and Sentricon, from $1,064.90.

What happens after checkout
We reach out to schedule
Often the same day, by call or text. We confirm a time that suits you.
We inspect, or we set the stations
An inspection maps activity and every way in. Stations go where rodents travel, about every 50 ft.
You get a plan, and monthly checks
After an inspection, a recommendation sized to what we found. With stations, Webenex checks them every month.
The homeowner’s part
Most of the gaps that matter can be found with a flashlight on a slow walk around the building. If a pencil fits, a mouse can (CDC). In a condo or townhome, walk your unit and send anything outside to your HOA. Running a business? A certified technician walks your facility inside and out during the free site inspection: call or text (407) 360-7325.
A heavily soiled attic, garage or storeroom is more than a weekend job: text us a photo and we’ll tell you what we’d do.
Setting traps yourself? CDC recommends snap traps for homeowners.
Why Clermont
Roof rats are a Florida problem, but Clermont gives them more of what they use: backyard citrus, palms beside the house, fence lines, and new neighborhoods going in every year.
Citrus country
1956Citrus Tower opens
The Citrus Tower went up so visitors could see Lake County’s groves. Freezes and disease took most of them, and subdivisions took their place (Florida Memory). Roof rats still nest and feed in the backyard citrus that’s left (UF/IFAS).
Growth
+22.8%Clermont, 2020 to 2025
Clermont grew from 42,992 to 52,812 people in five years, and Lake County added 5,342 building permits in 2025 alone. Every new street brings what roof rats use: palms, fences, power lines and attics.
Storms
Jun–Novhurricane season
Florida health officials note that after a storm, “surviving rodents often relocate” looking for food, water and shelter (Florida DOH). A storm-damaged soffit or vent is an open door.

Where we work: Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Montverde, Mascotte, Winter Garden, Four Corners, Ferndale and the rest of Lake County, plus 10 more Central Florida counties. Check your town or ZIP.
Businesses, property managers and HOAs
A single rodent, a chewed case of stock or droppings behind the line can undo years of reputation. Rodents are one of the eight pest groups covered by every Webenex commercial plan: we inspect, seal entry points down to half an inch, set stations, and leave records you can hand to an inspector.
Restaurants and food service
We service after close, check dry storage, dish pits and the back of the line, and leave service records ready to hand over.
Warehouses and distribution
Dock doors, pallets and the exterior wall are where rodents get in. Stations hold the perimeter, and every visit is documented.
Property managers and HOAs
Rodents move between units, common areas and dumpster corrals. We plan around tenants and residents, and keep the records.
Offices and retail
By lunch the whole team is talking about it, and customers notice too. We work around your business hours and deal with it at the source, so it stops coming back.

Florida Certified Pest Control Operator
Kevin started in pest control in 2011, brought the trade to Florida in 2013 with his father, Dave, and founded Webenex in Clermont in 2016 with less than $100. Today he’s the Certified Operator in Charge on Webenex’s Florida license, JB309802.
He’s also Rodent Standards Certified by the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, which matters here: rodent work is mostly finding the way in, not putting out bait. Webenex is family-owned, not a franchise, and the person whose license is on the line works out of the office on Highway 50 in Clermont.

The tech was on time and did a great job checking the property for rodent entry points. They didn’t try selling us anything we didn’t need.
Weston came to evaluate our situation with rodents in our home after being empty for over 6 months. He answered all our questions to our satisfaction.
Webenex showed up the next day and solved the issue without hesitation.
We had an emergency pest issue at our outpatient facility, I called Webenex and spoke to Weston, he was quick to offer their services and was able to work us into his schedule in less than 24 hours!!

For homes, a rodent inspection is $125, flat. Evo-X rodent stations are $65 each, paid at checkout, and you can book either one online. Want pests and termites covered too? The Works bundles rodent stations with quarterly pest control and Sentricon from $1,064.90. Businesses get a free site inspection and a quote.
If you’re not sure what you have or how it’s getting in, start with the inspection. It tells you what it is, how serious it is and where the gaps are, so the control you pick works. If you already know you have rats or mice around your property, you can book stations directly. As a rough guide, you need one for every 50 feet around your property. Bigger property? Call or text (407) 360-7325 and we’ll set up as many as it needs.
Evo-X stations are tamper-resistant, and the bait stays locked inside where children and pets can’t reach it. That’s also what the EPA requires wherever kids, pets or wildlife could get to bait (EPA). We choose between anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant baits based on your property, the rodents present, and the kids, pets and wildlife around it. See the products we use.
Both, depending on where. Our stations hold bait or traps. Inside the house, trapping avoids the problem UF/IFAS warns about with poison: a rodent that dies in a wall can smell for two to four weeks (UF/IFAS). Outside, tamper-resistant bait stations hold the perimeter.
Finding them is part of the inspection, attic and crawl space included. If sealing is part of the fix for your property, it’s in the plan you get from the inspection. Gaps should be closed with steel wool, hardware cloth or sheet metal, not foam alone. Some, like limbs on the roof and palm skirts, you can fix yourself.
It depends on how many there are and how they’re getting in, so we won’t promise a date. Mice usually go to a trap the first night; rats can take about a week to trust a new one. And for the first two weeks after gaps are sealed, rodents look for a way past every patch (UF/IFAS). That’s why the plan includes follow-up, not one visit.
Not a standard home pest control plan. Rodents need their own method, so they’re a separate service. The Works bundles rodent stations with quarterly pest control and Sentricon. Every commercial plan covers rodents.
Call or text (407) 360-7325. Your stations are checked every month, so activity gets seen, but you don’t have to wait for the next check to tell us.
We confirm the time with you by call or text. The inspection covers the attic and crawl space, so make sure we can reach the attic hatch and the garage. Found droppings? A photo next to a coin for scale helps us, before you clean them up. Renting it out? Put your tenant’s name and number in the notes and we’ll confirm the time with them.
Roof rats are the most common in Florida attics, but the inspection checks for house mice, rats and squirrels, flying squirrels included. Droppings, gnaw marks and the noise pattern tell them apart. Rats and mice move mostly at night.
No smell or sound closes the gap they came in through, and while the gap is open, more can follow. Close the entry points, take away food and shelter, and deal with the ones inside. If you buy bait at the store, it must be a block or paste in a station; loose pellets aren’t sold to homeowners anymore (EPA).
Yes. Rodents are one of the eight pest groups covered by every Webenex commercial plan. We schedule around your hours, seal entry points down to half an inch, set stations, and leave service records you can hand to an inspector. The site inspection is free: call or text (407) 360-7325 or see commercial pest control.
A certified technician walks your facility inside and out, finds active rodents and what’s drawing them in, and builds a plan around your building, your hours and your inspection requirements. You get a clear quote before any work starts. Call or text (407) 360-7325 to set it up.
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report you can hand straight to a health inspector, an auditor or your compliance team.
Yes. We work around your hours, including after close for restaurants, and keep visits quiet and discreet.
If they’re in Central Florida, yes.
