What affects the cost of Roof Rat Removal
Frequently asked questions
How do roof rats typically enter homes in Gillespie Field District?
Roof rats are excellent climbers, often using overhanging tree branches, dense ivy, utility lines, and even clay tile roofs to access attics and upper levels of homes, especially those bordering canyons like Tecolote or Rose Canyon.
Is it safe to use poison for roof rats inside my home?
We strongly advise against using rodenticides inside homes due to the risk of rats dying in inaccessible areas, creating foul odors and attracting other pests. Our interior treatments focus on trapping and removal, while exterior bait stations are tamper-resistant and strategically placed.
How long does roof rat removal take?
The duration varies based on the infestation's severity and the property's specifics, but a typical treatment involves an initial visit for setup and exclusion, followed by 1-2 follow-up visits over several weeks to ensure complete eradication and monitor for new activity.
What can I do to prevent future roof rat infestations?
Maintain trimmed vegetation away from your home's exterior, seal all gaps and openings larger than a quarter-inch, keep trash cans tightly sealed, and remove pet food and water bowls overnight. Regular inspections, especially for homes in canyon-rim neighborhoods, are also crucial.
Do you work weekends?
We keep flexible hours, including evenings and weekends where we can.
