Rats in the Basement or Garage
Rat problems start outside, and move into the structure
If you’ve seen rat droppings in the basement, garage, or around stored items, the problem usually begins with a structural entry point. Rats don’t appear randomly. They follow food, warmth, and shelter directly into the building.
Most pest control companies respond with bait stations filled with poison. This approach kills some rats, but it does nothing to stop new ones from entering.
We focus on removing the rats and closing the structure.
If you’ve seen rat droppings, the problem is already inside the structure.

Our Rat Control Process
Inspection
We locate entry points, travel routes, and nesting areas.
Removal
Snap-trap system to eliminate the rats inside the structure.
Exclusion
We seal the structural openings that allowed them inside.
Why Poison Often Backfires
Rats die inside walls and ceilings, or outside and become toxic for non target wildlife.
Odors can last weeks
Flies and insects follow
New rats continue entering
Without exclusion, the cycle never stops.
