Most rodent advice online repeats the same unsourced claims, so for Palm Bay homeowners the statements below are tied to specific surveys, studies and published cost guides, and each one says what it does and does not prove for a Palm Bay property. Two point nine million occupied U.S. homes reported seeing both rodents and cockroaches in the previous 12 months, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS), a count of reported sightings and signs rather than confirmed infestations. Eleven point eight percent of occupied U.S. homes, approximately, reported rodent signs in the preceding year, calculated from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Housing Survey (AHS) rounded counts of 15.7 million out of 133.2 million; it reflects reported signs, not confirmed infestations. Palm Bay is not an outlier on this point: in the National Pest Management Association's (NPMA) September 2022 Harris Poll of more than 1,300 U.S. homeowners, 43% of those in the South reported a rodent encounter at some point in their lives, which is not the same as the share of homes currently infested. The same question comes up in Palm Bay: three point one percent of occupied homes in Arizona's largest metro area reported rodent sightings or signs in the previous 12 months, the lowest figure among selected large metros in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS); it counts reports, not confirmed infestations. Keep this in mind while inspecting a Palm Bay home: Seventy-six percent of U.S. homeowners ages 25 to 75 in a March 2022 online survey by HomeTeam Pest Defense said they had dealt with a pest issue in the previous year, a self-reported figure from a provider-sponsored survey with an undisclosed sample size. None of these sources surveyed Palm Bay specifically, so read them as national and regional context; the local facts that matter most are the ones an inspector documents at your Palm Bay property, meaning where activity is, what is attracting it and how it is getting in.
If you smell ammonia or a dead-animal odor in your Palm Bay home, the problem has moved past the DIY stage. Something is nesting or has died in a wall or attic.

The Palm Bay inspection tells you whether this is a small DIY job or one that needs professional exclusion. Dryer vents need a metal louvered cover, not a plastic flap, to keep rodents out.
