Rat Control

We service Residential & Commercial Customers

Over the last few years residential and commercial customers have been seeing an increase in rat activity. Once rats find food, water and shelter they can live anywhere. Rats can gnaw into almost any material: wood, sheet rock, plastic, etc. Rats can fit through an opening the size of a quarter (1/2 inch). A rat infestation should not be ignored as rats can carry many kinds of diseases. Rats can be active year-round.
