Rats can pose a threat to your health and the health of the ones around you. Rats are known as a vector species of disease that can easily transmit viruses and diseases by just mere exposure to the rodent. Rats are incredibly unsanitary rodents as they spend most of their time outdoors in bacteria-rich environments such as sewers, garbage dumps, and anywhere food is readily accessible. They make no distinction in their diet as they are known as opportunistic animals and will feed themselves with anything that can be found. 

Rats compared to mice are exceedingly more destructive and aggressive. Rats can attack and bite when they feel threatened. They can cause an unbelievable amount of damage in a very short period. They can chew, gnaw, and bite through wiring, cabling, and other surfaces that can cost homeowners thousands of dollars in repair and restoration. 

Seeing feces and urine around the property can be a strong indicator that you are dealing with an infestation. The feces and urine can transmit disease and viruses through inhalation or exposure. They can contaminate surfaces they walk on and rend food inedible because of that.

Once entry-points are determined and located, the technician will then proceed to strategically place the bait stations. The rats will eat from the bait and exit the premise where they then will perish. This will continue to happen until rats are completely eradicated from the property. The technician then will seal-up the entry points based on his finding to prevent a future infestation. 

Rat Control  offers different sets of solutions based on the situation and the gravity thereof. Our licensed technicians have successfully resolved countless cases throughout St. Catharines and continue to do so to this day.
