KEEP RATS OUT, FOR GOOD
Rat Control Services
Have you seen a rat or a rat’s nest in or around your property? Rats can carry dangerous pathogens that can transmit diseases to you and your family, including hantavirus. Some of these pathogens are transmitted through urine and dropping that then become airborne as they contaminate dust particles. You may be exposed to these pathogens without ever coming into direct contact with a rat. Because of these pathogens, you should never disturb or remove a rat’s nest but should always call a trained professional.

Frequently asked
Rat Control FAQs
How can I tell if I have rats and not mice?
Rats leave larger droppings, make louder movement sounds, and usually travel along consistent paths. You may also see greasy rub marks along walls, larger chew damage, or disturbed insulation in attics and crawlspaces.
What are the most common signs of rats around a home?
The biggest signs are droppings, gnaw marks, and repeated activity in the same areas. Outdoor clues include burrows near foundations, disturbed soil along fences, and chewed trash or pet food containers.
How do rats get inside a house?
Rats use gaps around garage doors, rooflines, vents, pipes, and damaged screens. An opening around 1/2 inch can be enough, especially if it is near a corner they can leverage.
Are rats dangerous to have in a home?
Yes. Rats can contaminate surfaces and stored food, and they can damage wiring, insulation, and ducting. They also bring in parasites like fleas and can trigger allergies in some homes.
Why do rats keep coming back even after traps work?
Traps reduce the current population, but rats return if entry points are still open and the property is still offering food and shelter. Lasting control usually comes from combining removal with exclusion and sanitation.
Where do rats usually nest?
Rats nest in protected, low traffic areas. Common spots include attics, crawlspaces, garages, wall voids, and dense exterior clutter like wood piles or thick ground cover near the foundation.
What attracts rats to a property?
Easy food and reliable water are the biggest drivers. Pet food, bird seed, overflowing trash, compost, fallen fruit, and standing water can all increase pressure around a home.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Many homes see less activity quickly, but full control often takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on how established the problem is and how many access points exist. If entry points are not addressed, activity can restart.
Should I use bait for rats?
Bait can be effective, but it should be used carefully and correctly. Placement matters, and homes with kids, pets, or wildlife nearby need extra safeguards. In many situations, trapping plus exclusion is the cleaner option.
Stop the never-ending battle with rats. Live a life free from distractions.
