Rat Identification
Rats are medium-sized rodents with long, scaly tails, pointed snouts, and small rounded ears. Adult rats measure 7-10 inches in body length with brown or black fur. Key identifying signs include large incisor teeth, 10-20mm droppings, and gnaw marks. The two common species are Norway rats (brown rat) and roof rats (black rat).

Rat Extermination Process
Property Inspection
Trained rat exterminators conduct comprehensive evaluations identifying entry points, nesting sites, feeding areas, and travel pathways across interior spaces, attics, crawl spaces, and foundation zones.
Baiting & Trapping
Professional-grade bait stations and mechanical traps deploy in high-activity zones. Placement follows established rodent travel patterns for maximum effectiveness.
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.
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.
