Lake Mary, a Seminole County city.
Lake Mary has been a city in Seminole County since its 1973 incorporation. Its ZIP codes in our data are 32746 at about 11.1 miles from Winter Park and 32795 at about 12.9. It tells us nothing about your attic or garage, which is why we inspect each property and ask about additions.
A city incorporated in 1973 is relatively young on paper, but that says little about any particular house. We ask for your building's age and any additions, since newer and older parts of one house can behave very differently when we inspect for gaps.

Timing a trip to Lake Mary.
A far-out address needs a bit more planning. Tell the dispatcher about timing constraints and anything urgent.
What gets reported first.
These are the signs that most often lead to a call, listed so you can compare them with what you have noticed.
- A car that smells musty after sitting.
- Chewed wiring or a dash warning light.
- Nest material in the air filter box.
- Droppings on top of the engine.
A visit, in the order it happens.
On site, the sequence is observe, trap, seal, recheck. Each step has its own page on this site, and the estimate shows only the ones your property needs. Shops and offices should open the commercial page, which covers party walls and waste areas.
When the rains arrive.
Central Florida has no real cold season to shut rodents down. Warm, humid air keeps mice and rats moving year-round, and summer storms flood burrows and push animals toward dry shelter, sometimes your garage or attic.
Rodents move in fast, so phoning early tends to be cheaper than fixing chewed wiring later.
(888) 686-4821Water, shade and the roof edge.
Spanish moss, palm fronds and oak limbs all make good cover for rodents moving from yard to roof. If any of these touch your building, mention it, and consider trimming them back before the visit so the technician can see the true entry points.
Newer construction and its gaps.
Newer buildings are not immune. Utility sleeves, attic vents, garage thresholds and the gap where siding meets a slab can all be open to the outside soon after construction. We treat them as places to check and not as faults.
If your home is recent, tell us the builder or the year, and mention any warranty items. We do not assume anything about your house, and the inspection tells us what is true.
Property details worth giving us.
Lake Mary is toward the outer edge of our range, so a visit takes planning. The dispatcher gives a realistic window and lets you know whether a same-day slot is possible.
A visit begins on the phone. Describe the signs, the room and the time of day, and tell us about limbs, fences and stored items near the house.
Put the broom down before dialing.
Read each line twice before touching a thing, since a little patience is kind to your lungs.
- Even a gentle swish of a dust mop can lift old pellets into the air, so no dry tool should start the job.
- Fresh air does the first part of the job: half an hour with the openings wide and nobody in the room.
- Bare skin should never meet pellets, urine spots or nesting scraps, so gloves go on first.
- Disinfect the surface under and around the waste too, since urine travels beyond the visible spot.
- Bagging keeps stray particles from drifting through the house on the way out.
- Feeling sick after handling rodent waste is a matter for a physician, so tell them exactly what you touched.
