Permanent Rat Pest Control

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Permanent Rat Pest Control

The only form of completely permanent rat pest control is called rodent proofing. Rodent proofing is accomplished without the use of any dangerous chemicals poisons or traps. It involves three major phases – inspection, home sealing and cleaning and decontamination.

 

Initial Home Inspection

Every successful rodent proofing job begins with a thorough inspection of the property. Professional rat pest control technicians will be looking closely at your home to see where the infestation is and to find any rodent entry access points in your baseboards, walls or roof. Because rodents are highly flexible and can squeeze through a gap as small as a quarter, rat pest control specialists will need to take their time and comb through every inch of your house looking for potential entry points.

 

Home Sealing

Once the rat pest control technicians have figured out where all of the potential rodent entry access points in your home are, it is time to seal them. Your rat pest control professional will go to each individual entry point and seal it using a mix of professional grade sealant and wire mesh. Sealing these entry points are what prevent future rodent infestations and make rodent proofing a truly permanent solution for homeowners. When hiring a rodent proofing company, be sure to get one that guarantees the permanency of their rodent proofing with a 12 month warranty.

 

Cleaning And Decontamination

After your rodent infestation has been taken care of and your home has been properly sealed, it’s time to deal with the aftermath of the infestation itself. Rodent infestations can cause massive damage to homes. Frayed electrical wiring, rotting rat carcasses, ripped up insulation and copious amounts of rat urine and feces make the cleanup after an infestation a job for professionals. A professional rat pest control company will have equipment to ensure that your home is not only cleaned, but professionally decontaminated. Rats carry a number of dangerous, highly contagious diseases including hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. Professional decontamination is the only way to ensure that any lingering disease particles are completely eradicated.

 

The high speed breeding cycle of rodents makes setting traps or putting out poisons a highly inefficient way to go about rat pest control. Instead of buying a temporary solution to your rat problems, invest in rodent proofing and rid your home of rats for good. Hiring a professional rat pest control company not only assures that your home remains rodent free for good, it ensures that the entire process is done safely and that your home is restored to a healthy environment.

Rodent Removal Safety

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Rodent Removal Safety

Caution is key when you’re dealing with a rodent infestation. Rodents bite and scratch, carry dangerous diseases and can cause serious damage to your home. For these reasons, rodent removal should be handled with the utmost care in order to keep you, your family and your home as safe as possible. Here are a few key ways to ensure your home and the ones you love stay safe during the rodent removal process –

 

Hire A Professional.

 

Rodent removal is not a DIY job. Attempting to remove rodents from your home yourself exposes you to a myriad of dangerous diseases like hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. Attempting to remove rodents yourself without the knowledge and professional grade equipment of a rodent removal company puts you at risk of getting sick or being bitten and scratched by rodents.

 

Choose Proofing Over Poison.

 

While many pest control companies use poison to decimate active rodent populations in your home, this might not be the safest thing for your family. Leaving rat poisons out around your home can be a risk, especially if you have curious pets or small children. Instead of using poison, hire a rodent proofing company instead. Not only is rodent proofing done without the use of dangerous chemicals, it is the only permanent way to ensure that your home is secured against future reinfestation.

 

Check Your Home For Fire Hazards.

 

Rats love chew on everything from your attic insulation to your home’s wooden doorframes. Unfortunately rodents love chewing on electrical wiring too. If you’re dealing with an active rodent infestation, be sure to have a professional inspect your home for frayed or damaged electrical wires. A single electric spark from a damaged wire can cause your home to go up in flames.

 

Get Your Home Professionally Decontaminated.

 

Once the rodents have been removed from your home and your home has been sealed against future infestation you may think you are equipped to do the cleaning part yourself, but you shouldn’t. Cleanup after a rodent infestation is not a normal DIY job. Rat feces and urine can carry disease and breed harmful germs and bacteria. A professional cleanup crew will know how to clean infested areas and dispose of rat carcasses and damaged insulation in a way that is safe. They will also have the equipment to ensure that your home is completely disinfected.

 

A rodent infestation poses a number of serious health and safety risks. Don’t gamble with your health and safety by attempting to remove rodents and clean up after an infestation on your on. Instead, as soon as you suspect you have a rodent infestation, call for professional help. Hiring a professional rodent removal company will ensure that your rodent problems are handled as efficiently and safely as possible.

3 Reasons To Call A Professional Rat Removal Company

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on 3 Reasons To Call A Professional Rat Removal Company

If you’re a homeowner with access to the internet then you probably already know how quick and easy it is to search for, and find, a DIY solution to almost any problem you could have with your home. The same holds true for rat removal. A quick google search will turn up 100s of DIY rat removal solutions instantly. However, DIY rat removal is highly dangerous and is never a good idea. Here are three main reasons to call a professional rat removal company instead:

 

    1. Health Hazards – Rodents carry a myriad of dangerous, highly contagious diseases including things like hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. These diseases can be spread through direct contact, like rat bites, or simply by breathing contaminated air. Attempting to take care of a home rodent infestation on your own, especially without the proper training or equipment, exposes you to these diseases directly and increases your chance of getting sick.
    2. Dangerous Debris – Rats are highly destructive, and wherever they nest they are likely to cause destruction leaving dangerous debris in their wake. In addition to this, rodents tend to nest in tight spaces, like attics and crawl spaces, which are generally harder to move around and maneuver in. Attempting to remove rats on your own means being in very close quarters with some dangerous debris including things like rat feces and urine, destroyed insulation, dead animal carcasses, and frayed/exposed electrical wiring. Plus, dealing with an active rodent infestation in your home means you also risk running into live rats who may attempt to bite you if they feel threatened.
    3. Ineffective Solution – Rodents breed quickly making rodent infestations hard to handle even for traditional pest control companies. Attempting to set down traps and lay out poison for rodents in your home can be dangerous if you aren’t trained to do so. And, even if you are able to successfully trap and poison some of the rats in your home, it is unlikely to solve your rodent problem for good. In order to permanently end a rodent infestation, you’ll need to hire a rat removal company that specializes in rodent proofing. Rodent proofing your home requires a technician who understands how to find and seal rodent entry points in order to prevent reinfestation. Simply using traps or poison will not get rid of your rodent problem. And, if all rodent access points in your home aren’t sealed properly rodents will find their way back in and your problem will start all over again.

 

Rat removal isn’t a DIY job. Permanent rodent removal requires specialized knowledge and professional grade equipment to be done correctly. If you’re dealing with a rodent infestation, don’t gamble with your health or your home by using a DIY rat removal solution off the internet. Instead, call a professional rat removal company as quickly as possible and have them do a thorough inspection of your house. Once they’ve inspected your home, these professional technicians will be able to recommend and carry out a permanent solution to your rodent problems and restore your home to a healthy environment.

But, who are these rat control technicians and what will they do when they get to your home?

 

Rat Control Services: An Overview

Simply put, a rat control service is a professional service with technicians who are specially trained to eliminate and prevent rodent infestation in homes.

Rats often nest in the attic or crawl spaces of a home, so be sure to look for a rodent control service with attic expertise that understands how to spot and repair damages to things like attic insulation and electrical wiring.

 

Insulation Restoration

Rodents love to make their nests in the warm, soft insulation in your attic. Unfortunately for you, this nesting destroys your attic insulation, rendering your home insulation completely ineffective. Rodent urine and feces, can also seep into your attic insulation causing a foul smell and encouraging the growth of harmful bacteria which can lead to an increase in allergies and negatively impact your family’s health. If you know your attic insulation has been destroyed, be sure to find a rodent control services company with the equipment to remove and dispose of contaminated insulation safely. However, if you want to know how to get rid of rats in attic on your own, we have a separate blog for ways you can exterminate rats & decontaminate your attic. 

 

Cleanup And Decontamination

Rodents carry a myriad of dangerous diseases including – hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. When looking for a rat control service company be sure to ask about their cleaning and decontamination services too. Especially if you have young children, you’ll want to hire a company that not only helps rid your home of rats, but one that promises effective cleaning and decontamination of all infested areas as well.

 

Rodent Proofing

Extermination services like trapping and poisoning are only a half measure for ridding your home of rats. Rodents breed quickly and any rats you kill or trap are will be quickly replaced by new rodents looking for a home. Rodent proofing is the only way to prevent your home from being reinfested and to put an end to your rodent infestation permanently. Because of this, rodent proofing services are the most important type of service a rat control company can offer. When looking to hire a rat control service company, be sure to hire one with that offers a guarantee with their rodent proofing services and has a history of successful rodent proofing experience.

 

A rodent control service company will do more than come into your home to lay down traps and spray poison. A truly successful rodent control company will be able to put your mind at ease by cleaning and decontaminating infested areas, removing and restoring contaminated insulation, and patching any and all rodent entry points in your home to prevent future infestation.

How to Choose A Rodent Removal Company

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on How to Choose A Rodent Removal Company

So you’ve got rats in your attic… now what? If you’re dealing with a rodent infestation, time is of the essence. You’ll want to call a professional rodent removal company right away to remove any lingering rodents, protect your family’s health and prevent lasting damage to your home. Here are a few tips for choosing a rodent removal company:

 

Understand Your Options.

There are two main types of rodent removal company out there – extermination companies and rodent proofing companies. Understanding what both types of companies really offer is crucial to deciding which company you’ll call.

  • Exterminators – Extermination companies focus specifically on killing live rodents and other pests. Companies advertising general pest control, that place emphasis on trapping and poisoning services are usually extermination companies. These companies will use things like rodent trapping and poisoning to control the rodent population in your home. If you plan on using an extermination company be sure to ask them about what kinds of poisons they may be used in your home as these can be harmful to pets and small children. Also ask them about discounts on ongoing service contracts as well, as rodents breed quickly and a single extermination session is unlikely to eliminate a rodent infestation permanently.
  • Rodent Proofing – Rodent proofing companies focus on sealing up entry points in your home to eliminate rodent infestations permanently. These companies are often made up of construction and cleaning specialists rather than traditional pest control specialists. Rodent proofing is a complex process, but is usually performed without the use of dangerous poisons or traps, which is ideal for people with curious pets or small children. Be sure to ask if they offer cleaning services as well as you will want to have the infested area thoroughly decontaminated after all rodent entry points have been sealed.

 

 

Choose A Company With A Guarantee.

It is crucial to work with a rodent removal company that guarantees their services and really stands behind their work. That way, if anything goes wrong or your home becomes reinfested you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that the company that did the work is also willing to take full responsibility for any mistakes and fix them promptly.

 

Things to Keep In Mind:

A pest control service might do a great job in the trapping and removal of rats, mice, or other squirrelly rodents, but they do not have the incentive to keep them out. Rodent-proofing goes beyond the trapping or killing of rats and actually seals your home so rodents do not have a point of entry. Identifying and properly fortifying points of entry can take experience, after all, rodents are experts at sneaking into safe homes and turning them into nests.

 

Find Out What Others Have To Say.

When you’re looking to hire a rodent removal company be sure to look for company testimonials and reviews. Don’t just look at the testimonials they have put on their site either. Be sure to look at sites like Yelp, the BBB and Angie’s List to find out exactly what their customers are saying about them. Companies with a high number of good reviews are more likely to be doing good quality work.

 

Rodent infestations are damaging to both your home and your health. Subpar rodent removal companies can fail to fully treat rodent infestation or even leave your home vulnerable to future infestation. This is why it is crucial to find a reputable rodent removal company that guarantees their work and will solve your problem quickly, efficiently and permanently.

Rodent Proofing vs. Extermination

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Rodent Proofing vs. Extermination

If you’ve had issues with a rodent infestation in your home, you may have noticed that rodent control companies have two very distinct ways of dealing with your rodent issue. Many traditional pest control companies emphasize extermination services, while other companies may offer “rodent proofing” services. Understanding the difference between these two types of rodent control services is crucial to selecting a rodent control company that meets your needs and will solve your rat problem for good.

 

Extermination Means Poison And Traps.

When a pest control company talks about extermination services they are talking about poison and traps. Simply put, the goal of extermination is to kill off the active rat population in your home using rodent traps and rat poison. Unfortunately, although this sounds like it would be the easiest solution, extermination comes with a long list of cons, including:

  • Time Consuming – Extermination is not a “quick fix” for your rodent problem. It can take several days and multiple doses of poison to kill a rat.
  • Dangerous For Children And Pets – Leaving poison or active traps around your home can be hazardous, especially to small children and pets. If you are opting to hire an exterminator be sure you know what chemicals will be used in your home and where so that you can set up the proper precautions to keep your children and pets safe.
  • Unsanitary – Poisoned rats can die in the walls of your home, leaving you rotting animal carcasses in your attic and crawlspaces. These decaying bodies can cause foul odors and provide a breeding ground for bacteria and disease.
  • A Temporary Solution – Rats breed quickly. Trapping and poisoning rats might kill-off some of the current infestation, but it does nothing to protect your home from future infestation. This makes trapping and poisoning rodents a full-time, never-ending job!

 

Rodent Proofing Is Permanent.

Rodent proofing a home is the only way to ensure that your home will be permanently protected from future rodent infestation. Best of all, rodent proofing can be done without any dangerous chemicals or traps. How does it work? The rodent proofing process is done in 3 phases:

  • Phase 1: Inspection – Every rodent proofing job will start with inspection of your attic for rodent entry access points. Rodent infestation is only possible when these holes and gaps are left unsealed.
  • Phase 2: Sealing – After identifying all possible rodent access points, these entry ways are sealed with professional grade sealant and steel mesh, denying access to new rodents and preventing infestation.
  • Phase 3: Cleanup – Once all the entry points are sealed your attic is cleaned, disinfected and deodorized.

 

Whether you choose to hire a company specializing rodent clean up or one skilled in extermination, it is important to act quickly if you suspect your home is infested. Rodents can damage your home and spread disease, so it is absolutely imperative to call a professional pest control or rodent proofing company right away!

Why Roof Rats Chew on Wires

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Roof Rats. No Comments on Why Roof Rats Chew on Wires

The thought of having roof rats in your attic is scary, but many people live with them without even knowing it.

However, the worst part about living with rats is the fire danger and the potential property destruction. Roof rats eat wires on a regular basis; it’s deep within their nature. When you understand why a roof rat eats wires, you’ll know that it’s better to just get rid of them altogether.

Why Roof Rats Eat Wires

Rats eat wires and cause property destruction because their teeth are constantly growing. This is similar to claws on cats; since they are constantly growing, they have to be dealt with on a regular basis. By chewing on wires, rats get rid of the pain and they also keep their teeth in great shape. Although this may seem annoying to us humans, it’s in the rat’s nature to do so and there is nothing we can do in order to prevent them from chewing on wires.

The Potential Risks Involved

Where there are rats, there is fire danger. Chewed wires get split open and with electrical current that constantly flows in those wires, a spark could quickly occur. When a roof rat chews on your wires, they remove the protective insulation that prevents the wire from being dangerous. Most fires happen because of electrical issues and many electrical issues arise from rodents that chew on them. Getting rid of  roof rats and other rodents can prevent the high risk of fire danger.

It’s important to deal with rat infestations as soon as possible. Fire danger is something that you should be extremely cautious with. As soon as you have broken wires in your home, your risks of having your house go up in flames triple.

Preventing Rats from Getting in

It’s important to get rid of the roof rats for good and not just solve the problem on a temporary basis. Many people place rat traps in their attics or crawl spaces, but this is only a temporary fix to the problem. Sure, you will most likely catch a few of them, but they will just keep coming back. In order to put the property destruction to a stop for good, it’s important figure out where the rats are entering and seal up the entry points.

Getting the services of a professional company that specializes in attic insulation is highly recommended. Rodent proofing specialists make it impossible for rodents such as rats to return into your attic. This will most likely save you thousands of dollars in property repairs over the years and it could very well save your life. Fire danger is huge with chewed wires and making sure that your electrical wires are in order is of utmost importance.

Importance of Attic and Crawl Space Insulation

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Insulation, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Importance of Attic and Crawl Space Insulation

Attic insulation ensures your home stays at a comfortable temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

This is especially crucial during winter and summer months when we need to use heaters and air conditioning units to maintain a comfortable living environment. Unfortunately, without proper attic insulation, you may find yourself spending more money to keep your home comfortable enough for you and your family. This is because lack of proper attic and crawl spaces insulation allows heat to migrate from one space to another and therefore increasing your energy consumption and ultimately your electricity bills. Having a proper insulation is important to ensure that your living spaces are not only comfortable but also affordable to heat and cool.

There are various types of attic insulation’s available in the market. The following two are some of the types of attic insulation available.

1. Batt insulation

It is also referred to as rolled insulation or insulation rolls. This type is designed in such a way that it is able to fit in between rafters, joists or studs. Though they can be made from different materials, the most common material available is fiberglass. The procedure involves installing each piece at a time and ensuring that each piece is cut and shaped in a manner that ensures maximum coverage.

2. Blown-In insulation

This type is also known as the loose fill fiberglass insulation. It is installed into the attic using special equipment that blows in the material. It is very efficient because it ensures that every part of the attic is covered including the smallest crevices and cracks. This form of attic insulation is very cost effective.

The following are some of the reasons why you should invest on efficient attic insulation:

Reduced energy bills

Insulation works by acting as a barrier for heat transfer in the summer it prevents heat from entering the living space and in the winter it prevents the heat from escaping into the outside.

Without proper attic insulation, you tend to consume more energy because heat generated inside the living space escapes through the cracks. Proper insulation ensures efficient energy consumption in that you do not need to keep you heater or air conditioning on all day long to keep you home warm or cool enough. Reduced energy consumption leads to lower energy bills and increased savings.

Check your attic and crawlspace if you have dirty damaged or compressed insulation give us a call for a free inspection!

Why Do Rats Nest in Attics?

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Roof Rats. No Comments on Why Do Rats Nest in Attics?

Why Do Rats Nest in Attics

It is late at night. You are just settling down to go to sleep. The lights are out and everyone is in their beds. The night is blissfully quiet.

Then you hear them above your head.

The little scratches and clicks of a rodent which has plagued mankind for centuries – the rat.

So much for pleasant dreams.

This begs a simple question. Why do rats love our homes and, in particular, our attics? The answers really aren’t all that different from the reasons why we love our homes.

Safety

Rats are tough creatures. Despite humans’ best efforts we’ve never been able to eradicate the rat population, even though they are known to carry a wide variety of parasites, viruses and bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Rats, after all, brought Europe the Black Death which wiped out more than 50 percent of the population between 1348 and 1350 – as many as 200 million people. Humans even bred dog species such as the Rat Terrier for the sole purpose of hunting down these rodents, but with little success.

Still, a rat is an animal, which means there are other animals which will prey on it. Owls and snakes certainly come to mind. As their prey, the rat seeks safety: a place to sleep, live, breed and get on with their lives without fear. Can you think of a safer place, with no owls or snakes to worry about, than the attic of your home?

Opportunity

Why attics in particular? The answer is simple. Attics are remote locations and are usually easy for rodents to get into. Rats are natural climbers. They can climb up stucco, wires, drain pipes and just about anything that is typically attached to the side of a home.

Rats’ bodies are also highly flexible. They can squeeze through vent openings, or small holes where pipes and wires enter a home, without any problem at all. They also don’t give up if the hole isn’t big enough initially. They just start chewing on the edges the hole to make it big enough for them to eventually squeeze through.

Put simply, most homes in San Diego are rife with opportunities for rats to get into their attics and walls. Once they’re in “rat paradise,” you can expect them to put down roots and get on with the task of breeding. This is not good news for you as the owner of their new homestead.

Comfort

There’s a more pragmatic reason for rats to be fans of attics: comfort. Attics, particularly in our part of the country, are warm. They have plenty of crawl spaces in which to roam around. There’s lots of material they can use to build nests. And attics are rarely visited by humans or any other intruders. A rat couldn’t find a much more comfortable place to settle in.

The attic of the average San Diego home provides safety, opportunity and comfort in spades. If you suspect rats have moved into your attic, contact us to arrange an inspection before a few rats become hundreds.
