Oh, Rats! Do You Need a Rat Control Expert?
Rats have a long history of being disease-carrying pests, so when you see them in or around your home, you naturally want to get rid of them as fast as possible. That’s when you need a rat control expert.
Our pest control technicians are specially trained to uncover how rats are entering your home and choose the best methods for ridding your home of rats for good. We can also identify the specific kind of rats you have, from the common Pennsylvania Roof Rat to the Norway (Brown) Rat, and quickly send them packing.
How to Get Rid of Rats
Many homeowners see signs of rats before they see the rats themselves. Signs include little black droppings, shredded bits of paper, fabric, or other materials, and nests in attics, garages, or other less active areas of the home where they can go undetected.
Rats can squeeze through very small openings about the size of a quarter, so a key way to keep them out is to look for these small openings around your home and close them up. Add this task to your home maintenance schedule, and plan to complete it before colder weather arrives when rats will be looking for a warm place to live.
If, despite your efforts, you still see evidence of rats in your home, call us right away, and we’ll get you set up for an inspection and rat control service as quickly as possible.
Rats & Mice? What’s the Difference?
Homeowners often wonder if the rodents they see scurrying about in the kitchen or basement are rats or mice. The most obvious difference is their size, as mice are small in comparison to rats. Mice also have fur on their tails, while a rat’s tail is hairless.
One very important way they are similar is in their ability to spread parasites and disease, which is the primary reason to keep them out of your home.
How Much Does Rat Control Service Cost?
Our rat control services start at $190 for a complete indoor and outdoor treatment of your home. Follow up treatments after the initial service, if needed, are billed at a lower rate.
“Tony was very kind. He listened to my concerns and made good recommendations on how to get rid if the mice and roaches. I would love to have him back as my technician.”
