Rat Extermination Process

Step 1

Property Inspection

Licensed rat exterminators conduct comprehensive evaluations identifying entry points, nesting sites, feeding areas, and travel pathways across interior spaces, attics, crawl spaces, and foundation zones.

Step 2

Baiting & Trapping

Professional-grade bait stations and mechanical traps deploy in high-activity zones. Placement follows established rodent travel patterns for maximum effectiveness.

Step 3

Sealing & Exclusion

All identified access points, gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, roof vents, utility penetrations, receive professional sealing using steel mesh, metal flashing, and commercial-grade sealants. Exclusion work is warrantied against re-entry.

Step 4

Monitoring & Follow-Up

Scheduled visits track population reduction, inspect exclusion integrity, and confirm complete extermination. Professional nest removal, contaminated insulation extraction, and attic sanitization eliminate health hazards and scent trails.
