Rats have been a persistent problem for mankind across the globe, causing immense property damage and spreading dangerous diseases through parasites and bodily fluids for many centuries. Implementing reliable integrated rat control methods customized for each unique scenario is crucial to fully and permanently eliminate stubborn rat infestations.

Pest Asset’s Rat Control Process

To successfully remove entrenched rat infestations, it is essential to accurately locate all their indoor and outdoor food sources, nesting sites, entry points, and travel paths throughout the property. Pest Asset rodent control experts strategically place tamper-resistant bait stations loaded with rodenticide along known runways back to nests and tamper-resistant traps at appropriate areas once rat activity is confirmed through tracks, rub marks, droppings, and sightings. Traps are positioned out of reach of children and pets for safety. Our technicians return regularly to handle trapped rats safely, assess progress, and alter any elements not producing desired results.

Comprehensive Rat Prevention Recommendations

Preventing rat infestations involves diligent, ongoing proactive exclusion and deterrence measures such as:

• Trimming back trees, shrubs, and foliage touching buildings to deny overhead access
• Properly maintaining trees on the property that rats use for nesting
• Eliminating any standing water pooling around the premises
• Keeping vegetation trimmed back from the structure’s foundation
• Identifying and sealing shut all holes, cracks, and gaps in exterior walls, and foundations using durable materials like copper mesh or concrete
• Removing possible outdoor food, water, and habitat attractants
