The process of getting rid of rats and controlling rats is well known: sanitize, rat-proof your home, then eliminate the existing rat population. The last step of the rat control process can prove the most challenging of three.

Rat Exterminators – Solving Your Rat Problem

Rats are nasty critters. Rats have plagued humans throughout the world for thousands of years. They can contaminate air and food, destroy property, carry bubonic plagues, and act as hosts to insects that transmit diseases to humans. There are two main species of rats found in homes and businesses in the Richmond VA and Charlottesville VA areas of Central Virginia are Roof Rats (a.k.a. black rats), which are found mainly in coastal areas, and Norway Rats, which are found throughout the Virginia. Roof rats are often found in attics and eat things like fruits and vegetables, while Norway rats are generally found on ground levels and prefer meats and fish. Rats can eat through almost any material when they’re determined to get somewhere, and an opening the size of a quarter is all they need to squeeze themselves into your home. Getting rid of rats isn’t always easy, but a small rat problem shouldn’t be too hard to take care of if you follow our proven rodent control program. Rat exterminators alone cannot solve your rat problem; it requires a joint effort between the pest control company and the customer. Integrated Pest Management is a multifaceted approach involving a partnership between you and your Virginia rat removal professional.

Signs of Infestation

Some noises are indicative of rat and mice activity, such as clawing, or gnawing on wood or plastic. These sounds can reverberate on concrete. If you have rodents in your attic, you might hear scratching, gnawing and clawing sounds as they make a nest. If you have horses, or other outdoor animals and store their food in a garage, shed or barn, you might notice that bags are being gnawed through or there are droppings around the vicinity of the food. They can damage the insulation in your home and even damage wiring in the walls. You may see rub marks (dark brown stains), places that the oil from the fur of rodents have rubbed against baseboard or points of entry. If you see droppings or hear chewing or scurrying, chances are you have an infestation of rats.
