RAT Control

Terminix® Rodent Control Helps You Get Rid of Rats

Rats are some of the most destructive pests on the planet. Having these vermin in your home exposes you and your family to many different types of disease as well as causing destruction of your physical property as they nest and tunnel from room to room.

However, a Terminix® rat exterminator is just a phone call away. We’ll have a rat control expert to your home within 24 hours to evaluate your situation and help you get rid of rats—fast!

Top Two Rats to Watch for

Roof Rats

Roof rats, also known as black rats, are active during the cooler months. They climb to high places like attics, where they can chew through wires and leave droppings. If you notice noises in your ceiling, it could be roof rats.

Norway Rats

Norway rats prefer ground-level spaces like basements and crawl spaces. These larger rats can chew through wood and even concrete, causing serious damage. They also spread diseases like salmonella.

SPOTTING A RAT INFESTATION

Rats leave clear signs behind. Look for:

Droppings: Small, dark pellets, especially around food and storage areas.
Gnaw Marks: Rats chew through food packaging, wires, and wood.
Noises: Scratching or scurrying in walls or attics, often at night.
Nests: Shredded materials like paper or fabric in hidden areas.
Tracks: Dusty footprints or long tail marks in less-used areas.
Pet Behavior: Pets acting unusually focused on specific spots in your home.

TERMINIX® THREE-STEP RODENT CONTROL PROCESS

Inspection: A rat exterminator will examine your home from top to bottom to determine entry points, nesting and breeding sites, and overall property damage.
Treatment: Once you agree to our rodent control estimate and evaluation, we’ll begin to get rid of rats in your home with the most powerful methods in the industry.
Protection: A Terminix® rat exterminator will take steps to ensure the rat control measures have done their job, and will follow up periodically to make sure it stays that way.
