About this service

Rat control is about exclusion and trapping. We find how they are getting inside, seal those gaps, and then remove the rodents currently living in your walls or attic. You need this service if you hear scratching sounds at night or find gnaw marks on cables and drywall. Because rats carry disease and damage property, acting quickly is important. Costs depend on the extent of the sealing required. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
