Recognizing the Signs of a Rat Problem

Rats are nocturnal and elusive, so you may not see one until the infestation is well-established. However, they leave behind distinct clues that can alert you to their presence. Identifying these signs early can save you from costly repairs, as rats constantly gnaw on materials to keep their teeth sharp. This behavior can ruin drywall, destroy personal belongings in storage, and even pose a fire hazard if they chew through electrical wires.

Key indicators that rats have invaded your property include:

• Droppings: Finding capsule-shaped droppings, usually in cupboards, along baseboards, or in the attic.
• Gnaw Marks: Visible teeth marks on wood, plastic, or food packaging.
• Strange Noises: Hearing scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds coming from walls or ceilings, especially at night.
• Rub Marks: Greasy, dark smudges left along walls or baseboards where rats frequently travel.

Our Comprehensive Rat Control Strategy

Eliminating a rat infestation requires more than setting a few traps; it demands a strategic approach that addresses both the current population and the vulnerabilities of your building. At Accutech Pest Management, we employ a multi-step process designed to solve the problem at its root. We know that rats are wary of new objects and can be difficult to catch, which is why we use professional-grade methods tailored to the specific layout of your home.

Our professional rat control process includes:

• Thorough Inspection: We meticulously check your property to identify entry points, nesting sites, and travel pathways.
• Strategic Trapping: We place traps and baits in critical areas to effectively reduce the active population.
• Exclusion Services: We identify and seal cracks, holes, and gaps to prevent new rats from entering your home.
• Sanitation Advice: We provide guidance on removing attractants like food sources and clutter to make your home less inviting to rodents.

The Importance of Professional Exclusion

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is focusing solely on catching the rats they see, without stopping new ones from getting in. Rats are excellent climbers and swimmers, capable of entering through vents, roof gaps, and sewer lines. Without professional exclusion—sealing up the "building envelope"—any trapping effort is essentially a temporary fix.

Professional services not only remove the pests but also fortify your home against future invasions. Experts know exactly where to look for structural weaknesses that an untrained eye might miss. By sealing these entry points with durable materials that rats cannot chew through, a professional service breaks the cycle of infestation, protecting your investment and ensuring long-term results.
