Rats

Professional rat control and exclusion

Rats are destructive pests that pose serious health risks and can cause significant property damage. These intelligent rodents can chew through walls, contaminate food supplies, and spread diseases including leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and plague. Rats are prolific breeders and require professional intervention for effective control. Exterminator Today provides comprehensive rat control services.

Common Rat Species:

Norway Rats: Also called brown rats, they are larger, burrow underground, and often enter buildings at ground level.
Roof Rats: Also called black rats, they are excellent climbers and often enter through roofs and upper floors.

Signs of Rat Infestation:

Droppings: Larger than mouse droppings, rat droppings are capsule-shaped and about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.
Gnaw Marks: Rats gnaw constantly and can chew through wood, plastic, and even soft metals.
Burrows: Norway rats dig burrows along foundations, under debris, and in gardens.
Grease Marks: Rats leave dark, greasy rub marks along walls and surfaces they travel along.
Sounds: Scratching, squeaking, and gnawing sounds, especially at night.

Our rat control program combines trapping, baiting, and exclusion work to eliminate existing rats and prevent new ones from entering your property.
