Rat Control
Emergency Rat Control – 24/7 Fast Response Team

Rat control is essential to prevent property damage and health risks caused by these invasive rodents. Rats, such as Norway rats and roof rats, thrive in urban environments by nesting in attics, basements, and sewers. They contaminate food, gnaw on electrical wires (posing fire hazards), and spread diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella through their droppings and urine. Effective rat control involves a combination of exclusion methods (sealing entry points with steel wool or metal mesh), trapping (snap traps, live traps, or bait stations), and sanitation (storing food securely, removing clutter, and fixing leaks). For severe infestations, professional pest control services use rodenticides and advanced detection techniques. Preventative measures—such as trimming vegetation, securing trash bins, and regular inspections—help keep rats away long-term.
Professional Rat Extermination Methods
A. Inspection & Detection
- Use UV lights to detect urine trails.
- Track footprints with talcum powder.
- Check for burrows near foundations.
B. Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
- Use steel wool + caulk or metal mesh to block holes.
- Install door sweeps and vent covers.
C. Trapping Strategies
| Trap Type | Best For | Pros/Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Snap Traps | Quick kills | Cheap, reusable |
| Glue Traps | Small rats | Inhumane, messy |
| Live Traps | Eco-friendly | Requires relocation |
| Bait Stations | Large infestations | Poison risks (keep away from pets/kids) |
D. Rodenticides (Poison Baits)
- Anticoagulants (e.g., Bromadiolone) – Causes internal bleeding.
- Non-anticoagulants (e.g., Cholecalciferol) – Kidney failure.
⚠️ Warning: Poisons can cause secondary poisoning in pets/wildlife. Use tamper-proof bait stations.
DIY Rat Prevention Tips
✅ Indoors:
- Store food in glass/metal containers.
- Clean spills immediately.
- Use trash cans with tight lids.
✅ Outdoors:
- Trim tree branches 3+ feet away from the house.
- Keep firewood elevated and away from walls.
- Fix leaky pipes/drains (rats need water).
When to Call a Professional
Seek expert help if:
- You see multiple rats regularly.
- DIY methods fail after 2-3 weeks.
- Rats are in walls/AC ducts (hard-to-reach areas).
