Signs You Have Rats

• Large droppings: dark, capsule-shaped, about the size of a raisin.
• Burrows: holes in the ground along foundations, fences, decks, sheds and garden beds.
• Loud noises at night: heavy scratching, thumping or gnawing in walls, ceilings or under floors.
• Gnaw marks: on wood, plastic bins, pipes, wiring and doors.
• Greasy rub marks: along walls and the routes they travel.
• Damaged food or feed: torn bags of pet food, birdseed or grain.
• Seeing a rat in daylight: often a sign of a larger population.

Why Rats Are a Serious Problem

• They spread bacteria and disease through droppings, urine and bites.
• They chew electrical wiring, creating a fire risk.
• They damage insulation, pipes and stored items.
• They breed quickly, and a small problem grows fast.
• They’re wary of new objects, which is why DIY traps often fail.

Our Rat Removal Process

1. Inspection

We inspect inside and outside your property to find burrows, nests, travel routes, food sources and entry points.

2. Targeted Treatment

We use tamper-resistant bait stations and traps, placed where rats travel and out of reach of children and pets.

3. Sealing Entry Points

We seal the gaps, holes and openings rats use to get inside, around foundations, pipes, vents, garage doors and utility lines.

4. Follow-Up

We check results and make sure the problem is solved. If rats return, call us. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.

Rat Removal FAQs

How can I tell rats from mice?

Rat droppings are about the size of a raisin; mouse droppings are closer to a grain of rice. Rats are also much larger and often leave burrows outside.

How long does rat removal take?

It depends on the size of the problem. Rats are cautious, so treatment can take a few visits. Sealing entry points is what keeps them out long-term.

Is rat treatment safe for my kids and pets?

We use tamper-resistant bait stations and place traps where children and pets can’t reach them. Your technician will explain any precautions.

Why won’t rats go into my traps?

Rats are naturally wary of new objects in their path. Professional placement and the right methods make a big difference.

Do you handle rats on farms and rural properties?

Yes. We treat barns, sheds, outbuildings and rural homes.

Are you open on weekends?
