Rat control

Rat control is important to avoid contracting and spreading a number of serious diseases that rats are known to transmit. Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to gain access into your home or business, they can spread these diseases, cause considerable damage and contaminate food. Even rats in the yard and outside can present tremendous risk, particularly since those areas are frequently visited by children and pets.

At Ehrlich, we can help you avoid costly damage to your property and prevent the transfer of disease by providing effective rat control services. Our qualified local technicians are backed by global knowledge and innovation and use safe and reliable control methods which offer a long-term solution to your rat problem.

Ehrlich’s rat control solutions

At Ehrlich Pest Control, we have a very thorough process for rat control. When dealing with rats on your property, we make sure to obey applicable laws and regulations and incorporate integrated pest management solutions (IPM) in our removal services. IPM is an environmentally conscious approach to pest control, using fewer chemicals and only treating areas that target rodents.

Below is a breakdown of what your rat control service may look like:

Property inspection

Your specialist will inspect both the interior and exterior of your home or building and look for any signs of rodent activity or openings through which rodents may be entering.

Interior solutions

Rat control inside may include using tracking powder in containerized stations and voids. It may also include the use of snap traps, glue boards, and/or bait stations. Control tools will be strategically placed along the travel pathway, near areas of activity, and in multiple directions.

Exterior solutions

Rat control outside will include proactively using monitoring bait or rodenticide in exterior rodent bait stations. Your specialist will add more bait when there is an increase in feeding activity or if the bait is totally consumed.

Exclusion

Your specialist will seal any large gaps or openings that may be allowing the rodents to enter. This will also prevent future rodent activity.

It is important to note that you should not disturb traps, bait stations, or other control devices we have put in place. Call Ehrlich today at 1-800-837-5520 or contact us online to discuss the best rat control solution for your home or business.

Rat control cost

There are a number of factors that go into the costs of rat control, which is why an inspection prior to quoting will provide the most accurate cost. Our rat control specialists will take into account the following factors:

  • Severity of the infestation
  • Size of the property
  • Commercial or residential
