Signs of a Rat Infestation
Knowing the early warning signs of a rat problem can save you time and money:
- Droppings: Small, dark droppings in cabinets, attics, or near food storage areas.
- Gnawed Wires or Furniture: Rats often chew on electrical wires, wood, and other materials.
- Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds, particularly at night, in walls or ceilings.
- Nesting Materials: Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden corners.
- Tracks or Smudges: Greasy marks along walls or dusty footprints in less-used areas.
- Musky Odor: A distinct, unpleasant smell often accompanies an infestation.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act quickly to prevent further damage.
Our Rat Removal Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
Our licensed technicians begin by thoroughly inspecting your property, from the basement to the attic, identifying entry points, nests, and signs of activity.
Step 2: Customized Removal Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a tailored plan using a combination of:
- Humane Trapping: Safe, non-lethal traps designed to capture rats effectively.
- Baiting Systems: Strategically placed bait stations to control and eliminate rats in high-activity areas.
- Exclusion Techniques: Sealing entry points to prevent future access.
Step 3: Removal and Cleanup
Once we remove the rats, we clean and sanitize affected areas, eliminating droppings and odors to restore a safe, healthy environment.
Step 4: Prevention Measures
To ensure rats don’t return, we seal all potential entry points and offer guidance on how to maintain a rodent-free property, including proper food storage and waste management.
Why Rat Removal is Critical
Rats are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious risks to your property and health:

- Health Risks: Rats can spread diseases such as Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis through their droppings and urine.
- Fire Hazards: Chewed electrical wires can lead to dangerous short circuits and fires.
