Rancho Penasquitos Rodent Rat Control and Removal Done Right!  

 "Our Specialized Rancho Penasquitos Rat Rodent Pest Control Trapping and Removal Service can get rid of your problematic  Rodents such as Rats, Mice, and Squirrels."

We never use poisons to control rodents, rats, or mice.

We know how to get rid of rodents fast, and without poisons.

Rodent Proofing: (this includes rat, mouse, and squirrel proofing)

We never like to just trap out the rats. This will end up costing you the same amount or more as having us rat proof your home. We always recommend that you use our Rodent Proofing and Repair Team.

How are we different? What we do is go inside your house, crawl in your attic, garage, under the house, on the roof, and close, or seal up (proofing) all the openings so that no more rats, rodents, or mice can enter the house. We also guarantee our workmanship for a period of two years.

Rodent Proofing Cost:

A typical rodent proofing project of a single story 1200 sq ft home will normally run between $500-600 (this all depends on how much proofing is actually needed). This takes one day to seal up and rodent proof and anywhere from two weeks to a month to completely trap out any rodents inside. After that, you should be rat free. This includes a visit every 5-7 days to check on the progress. Pricing subject to change according to fuel prices, mileage, and actual work needed. (For Spanish tile and certain specialty roofing tiles as well as multiple stories and Craftsman Style homes, pricing will be higher) We guarantee our workmanship for a period of two years.

Rat Facts

For some people, the common rat can make good pets. If they are unwanted however, rats can be pests. They pollute food, spread disease, and cause damage by gnawing. Rats are most active at night. If they are seen during the day, there is a good chance there are more around your home. Rats eat all types of food, including human and pet food.

What exactly is a rat?

Rats make up the largest single group of mammals on earth, an estimated one-third of the earth's total mammal population.  Several kinds of rats and mice are found around the United States. They are referred to as "commensal rodents" because of their need to live with humans.  Rats belong to the order of Rodentia.

Can rats get into my attic?

Yes, they are more than nimble and this is where the pest is most often found.

What types of damage do rats cause in an attic?

The main problem rats present, other than the noise they create and diseases they carry is the possibility that they will chew electrical wires creating the potential for a structure fire.

Other damage includes: Water damage from chewing pipes, torn up insulation from making bedding, leaky roofs from them chewing access holes in shingles or siding, etc

Should I use poison for rat pest control?

Rat Control issues are very common and will get out of hand very quickly is not taken care of.  PLEASE DO NOT USE POISONS, THE ANIMALS WILL DIE IN YOUR WALLS and this is costly, not to mention the horrific odor that accompanies it. If you are a home owner, we recommend you DO NOT use poison baits for rat pest control due to the risk of rats dying inside your home, causing an odor problem.  Second hand Poisoning (meaning your pet, another animals, or even your child could get a hold of this and ingest it) this is just another reason you should not poisons of any sort. 

I am hearing noises. How can I tell if it is, in fact, rats?

Rats are nocturnal. Meaning nighttime dwellers. This is when they are most active. So if you are hearing chewing, gnawing, scratching, or shuffling in the attic or walls, at night, chances are you may have a rat problem. Noises at night may also indicate squirrels, raccoons, or another intruder.  These rodents need much larger holes to enter your home and much less common to be the pest. Our Pest Control Operator will assist you in finding the best course of action to take.

How many rats can possibly be living in my home?

Rats are considered "colonizing rodents" and the number of rats present in your home usually depends on how long the you've had the problem. If left untreated you could easily have rats in the double digits.
