Understanding the Rat Problem

Rats can become an unwanted presence around homes, businesses, commercial buildings, warehouses, restaurants, factories, farms, and other properties. While rats are a natural part of the environment, their presence around a property can create serious hygiene concerns, property damage, contamination, unpleasant odors, and ongoing maintenance problems.

Rats can enter buildings through small gaps, cracks, damaged vents, drains, roof spaces, doors, and other potential access points. Once inside, they may nest in walls, ceilings, lofts, storage areas, kitchens, warehouses, and other sheltered locations.

Rat droppings, urine, nesting materials, gnaw marks, damaged packaging, and unusual noises can all indicate rat activity. Rats may also damage electrical cables, insulation, building materials, food packaging, and stored goods.

Our professional rat control team provides effective and responsible solutions to identify rat activity, locate common entry and nesting areas, and implement suitable control and exclusion measures to help prevent rats from returning.

Overview of Our Rat Control Process

Our residential and commercial pest control professionals take a thorough and practical approach to rat control. We work with homeowners, business owners, landlords, property managers, restaurants, warehouses, and commercial facilities to assess each situation and develop a rat control solution suited to the property.

From the initial inspection through treatment, monitoring, proofing, and preventative recommendations, our goal is to help protect your property from unwanted rat activity while maintaining a clean, safe, and professional environment.

Inspection Process

Our technician begins with a detailed inspection of the property to identify areas where rats may be entering, nesting, feeding, or causing damage.

The inspection may include kitchens, storage areas, roof spaces, walls, ceilings, basements, garages, drains, gutters, utility areas, waste storage areas, external walls, doors, vents, and other potential access points.

We also assess signs of rat activity, including droppings, gnaw marks, nesting materials, grease marks, damaged food packaging, burrows, odors, and other evidence of infestation.

Potential food, water, and shelter sources that may contribute to recurring rat activity are also considered during the inspection.

Following the inspection, we provide clear findings and recommendations based on the conditions identified at the property.

Rat Control & Exclusion Process

Our rat control approach focuses on reducing existing rat activity while addressing the conditions that allow rats to enter and remain around a property.

Depending on the situation, our service may include appropriate monitoring, control measures, trapping where suitable, baiting by trained professionals, and the installation of suitable rat-proofing or exclusion measures.

The appropriate solution can vary depending on the property, level of activity, access points, environmental conditions
