Rat Removal

Rat in basement

Having a rat in the home can cause serious problems. If you’ve seen or even suspect that you have a rat in the home, call Attic Kings immediately. We’ll do a thorough inspection and begin the removal and exclusion process right away.

Rat Problems

  • Cause serious damage to water lines, drain pipes, electrical wires, air ducts, and in-home structures
  • Eat garbage and food that is left out
  • Carry many diseases and parasites
  • Can drop 40-50 fecal pellets a day
  • Will bite and scratch

How Rats Get in the Home

Rats can enter the house through roof lines, water pipes, gas pipes, holes leading to the basement, air vent and ducts, holes in the attic—pretty much anywhere there’s an opening.

Once they’re in, rats can quickly travel throughout the home. It is important to get rid of rats as soon as possible. Evidence of rats is often found near the hot water heater and furnace since they serve as a hub for pipes and air ducts. They often build nests in the walls, crawl spaces, and attic to keep warm and give birth. A rat can have 6-12 offspring at a time, and a typical female will have 4-6 litters a year. 

 

Removal Process

  1. We start the removal process by inspecting the entire house. With our inspection, we should be able to locate where the rats are living as well as where they are coming in.
  2. Once these locations have been noted, we will install one-way exit tunnels in the area that will prevent the rats from reentering the house once they’ve left.
  3. We will animal proof any holes or cracks that could be used as an entryway. Our execution techniques are sure to keep animals out and your family safe.

We do not use poisons as part of our removal process. Using poisons can cause health hazards to your pets and family, and aren’t as effective as our exit tunnels. Plus poisons could cause the rats to die inside the home, leaving you with even more problems.

Rodent Control

To keep rats away from your house in the future, be sure to:

  • Keep debris away from the house
  • Keep garbage cans sealed
  • Keep pantry and cupboards closed
  • Do not leave food out for long periods of time
  • Keep countertops clean

I had a bat problem in my attic gable vent. The crew listened to my needs, recommended a fix and installed it. They were an excellent choice for my problem. I would call them again!

Jonathan and his crew were very professional and took care of our huge critter problem. He did several follow-up visits to make sure the traps were working and was always available to answer my questions. They were a pleasure to work with and worth every dollar.

I had a bad squirrel problem in my attic, so I called Attic Kings. They came out to do an inspection and found out how the pests were getting in. They installed one of their tunnels and within days, they were gone. It has been over a year since Attic Kings have gotten rid of my squirrel problem and the animals haven’t been back since.
