Rats are a real risk

Rats can carry harmful diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis and rat-bite fever. They chew through wood, plastic and even mild steel, damaging structures, pipes and electrical wires.

Our Rat Action Tunnel System (R.A.T.S.) uses protected snap-trap stations placed on rat travel routes for quick, targeted results. Then we seal the entry points and keep monitoring until the activity is gone.

BurrowsHoles along foundations, sheds, walkways and gardens.
DroppingsLarger droppings near food, trash or along walls.
GnawingChewed wood, wiring, pipes or plastic.
RunwaysWorn paths and grease marks along walls and fences.

How we solve it for good

Targeted trapping plus exclusion, not bait boxes full of poison.

Rat removal FAQ

Questions North Shore homeowners ask us.

Do you use poison for rats?

Never. Poison can cause rats to die in walls and puts pets and wildlife at risk. We use our R.A.T.S. snap-trap stations instead.

What is the R.A.T.S. system?

The Rat Action Tunnel System: protected snap-trap stations placed on rat travel routes and serviced on a set schedule.

Will you seal up where they're getting in?

Yes. Exclusion is part of the job: foundation gaps, utility penetrations, door sweeps and bulkhead seals.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the problem. We keep monitoring and adjusting until the activity is resolved.
