Rat Control in Your Home

Our rat control treatments and strategies deal with them on a biological level. Rats are difficult to treat for and if you see one, there are definitely more around. We know how to take care of the rats that are there and even help keep them out in the future. Besides the many diseases Norway rats can carry and transfer, if you have a rat infestation, their droppings and urine can cause allergic reactions and even trigger asthma. In addition, they can be aggressive when you approach their nest. Their front teeth never stop growing so they gnaw on cardboard, drywall, and electrical wires – which they mistake for grass and roots. Besides being destructive, a rat infested house can be a fire hazard because of the chewed electrical wires. They will travel up to 100 feet from their nest so neighbors could be inadvertently feeding them and exacerbating the rat problem. We know all of this and can use our expert knowledge to take care of them.
