We Know Rat Control

In the situation that rats decide to share your home, we are here to handle everything for you conveniently. From setting the traps to cleaning up the rats and their feces, we have you covered. You never even have to look!
Rat Extermination
Rat infestations have the potential to become costly quickly. The noises of their chewing and scurrying can cause you to lose sleep. Their chewing through food containers, wires, and walls leads to expensive waste and home repair bills. Cleaning up after them requires caution and time to prevent the spread of disease.
Overall, there is no quick or simple way to deal with a rat infestation on your own. Fortunately, we are here to make the procedure easier as your neighborhood rat control specialists.
To be sure that rats are truly your problem, instead of mice or another type of rodent, try to catch a glimpse of the critter. Rats have grey to black coloring, stubby snouts, short ears, and a long, hairless tail. Size is not necessarily a defining feature. While much rodent control is similar between species, the information provided here is specific to rats.
The Rat Removal Process
Rat removal is not a procedure for the weak of heart or the squeamish. Hiring a professional is frequently the best course of action to prevent all of the unpleasant aspects of rat removal. You avoid the inconvenience, discomfort, and worry.
These are the actions you must do to get rid of the rodent infestation in your home if you decide not to hire a professional rat exterminator.
It’s essential to seal off all gaps in your house that could be allowing the rats to come and go. Closing off access ensures that no new rodents are entering your home and that those stuck inside will become hungry and more tempted by the traps.
Set out snap traps with a sticky food as bait. Other methods may seem more humane, but they are less effective and will often cause the rodents more suffering. Snap traps work quickly and thoroughly. For best results, place your traps near areas with lots of rat poop or chew marks.
