Rats are larger, more destructive rodents that can seriously compromise your home’s safety and hygiene. These pests can squeeze through openings the size of a quarter, making homes vulnerable to infestation. Once inside, rats will gnaw through wires, insulation, and structural materials, contaminating food and surfaces with their droppings and urine. In addition to spreading diseases like Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Hantavirus, rats’ constant chewing can create dangerous fire hazards by damaging electrical wiring.

Rats are notoriously difficult to control on your own. They are intelligent, cautious, and quick to find hiding spots in basements, crawl spaces, attics, and wall voids. Professional rat control focuses on eliminating current infestations, sealing access points, and applying preventative strategies to keep them from returning. Don’t wait for small signs to become a major issue—take action now to protect your home and family.
