Careful identification and safe, humane removal — with prevention work so it doesn't happen again.
Rats in your attic or crawlspace can cause significant damage, contaminate your living spaces, and pose serious health risks. Our rat removal service targets these pesky rodents quickly and efficiently, ensuring your home is safe and secure once again.
We don’t just eliminate rats—we thoroughly inspect, remove, and seal entry points to prevent future infestations. With years of experience and professional-grade equipment, we provide lasting protection against rat infestations in your attic or crawlspace.
We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your attic and crawlspace to locate signs of rat activity. Our team identifies all entry points and areas of concern to ensure effective removal.
Using humane methods and safe techniques, we remove rats from your attic or crawlspace. Our professional team ensures the safe capture and removal of the rodents without any harm to your property.
Once the rats are removed, we seal all potential entry points to prevent future access. We also offer guidance on how to maintain a rat-free home and ensure long-term protection.
Signs of rat infestation include droppings, gnaw marks, strange sounds, and strong odors. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to act fast to prevent further damage.
Yes, we use safe and humane methods to remove rats, ensuring that your family and pets remain unaffected throughout the process.
Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter-inch for mice and roughly a half-inch for rats, which is why effective exclusion work focuses on sealing gaps around utility penetrations, vents, and roofline joints — not just the obvious holes.
Humane exclusion (sealing entry points after removal) is generally more effective long-term than repeated trapping alone, since trapping without sealing just creates an opening for the next rodent to move in.
Rodent droppings and nesting material can harbor bacteria and, in some cases, hantavirus — which is why professional cleanup after an infestation uses sanitization, not just physical removal, to make the space safe again.
