What To Look For

Signs You Have Rats

Scratching at nightRats are nocturnal, so scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic, walls, or ceiling after dark are one of the most common first signs.

Gnaw marksRats need to wear down their teeth constantly, leaving chew marks on wood, wiring, boxes, and even plastic storage bins.

DroppingsDark, capsule-shaped droppings near food storage, along walls, or in attics point to an active rat presence, not just a one-time visitor.

Grease marks along wallsRats travel the same paths repeatedly, leaving dark greasy smudges along baseboards and wall corners from their fur.

Our Approach

How We Treat Rats

Inspect

We trace entry points around the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations — the actual gaps rats are using to get in.

Exclusion

Entry points are physically sealed with rodent-proof materials, cutting off access instead of just reducing numbers.

Trapping

Strategic trap placement removes the rats already inside, targeting confirmed activity paths rather than guessing.

Follow-Up

A return visit confirms the exclusion held and no new entry points have opened up.

Common Questions

Rat Control FAQ

Why do traps alone not solve a rat problem?

Traps remove the rats currently inside, but if entry points stay open, new rats move in behind them. Exclusion — physically sealing the gaps they’re using — is what actually stops the cycle long-term.

How do rats get into a house in the first place?

Rats can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps around rooflines, vents, utility lines, and foundation cracks. A thorough inspection identifies these access points, which are often not obvious from the ground.

Are rats a health risk to my family?

Yes — rats can carry diseases transmissible through droppings, urine, and bites, and they can also damage electrical wiring, creating a fire risk. Prompt treatment reduces both the health and property risks.
