Frequently Asked Questions About Rat Removal

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger than mice, typically 7-10 inches long (not including tail). Rat droppings are also larger (about ¾ inch), while mouse droppings are smaller (about ¼ inch). Rats also tend to leave more visible damage due to their stronger teeth and larger size.

How quickly can you eliminate a rat infestation?

The timeline depends on the severity of the infestation, but most rat problems can be controlled within 1-3 weeks. Complete elimination and exclusion typically takes 2-4 weeks for thorough results.

Are the rat control methods you use safe for my family and pets?

Yes, we use child and pet-friendly methods whenever possible. Our traps and bait stations are placed in secure locations inaccessible to children and pets. We'll discuss all safety measures with you before beginning treatment.

What happens after you remove the rats?

After removal, we thoroughly seal all entry points, clean and sanitize affected areas if needed, and provide recommendations to prevent future infestations. We also offer follow-up inspections to ensure the problem is resolved.
