Rat Control: Protect Your Home from Rodents

Why Rats Are a Problem

Rats can cause significant damage by gnawing on electrical wiring, insulation, and even structural elements. They also carry diseases, parasites, and allergens, posing serious health risks. Quick action is essential to prevent a minor issue from turning into a full-blown infestation.

Droppings: Small, dark, oval-shaped droppings found along walls or in hidden corners.
Gnaw Marks: Damage to furniture, wiring, and pipes.
Scratching Noises: Sounds in walls, attics, or under floors at night.
Nests: Shredded paper, fabric, or soft material nests.
Strong Odor: A musky smell from urine and feces.
