Once our rat extermination experts discover the access points, the visible damage, they finalize a plan. Our team of rat control experts takes satisfaction in resolving the puzzle of how rats enter your building.

Setting Traps

Based on the inspection, our rat exterminator specialists determine the types of rat traps to use, the placement of those traps, and the bait they will use in the trap to provide the most effective rat trapping. The standard trapping/removal time span is usually between 4 to 15 days, but the trapping process could take longer depending on your rat infestation.

Sealing

We must seal all of all entry points suspected of contributing to your rat invasion. Repair gaps in and outside a crawlspace, holes in attic vents, space around pipes entering the home, seal gaps around garage doors, repair foundation spaces around a sewer drain, and repair bulkhead covers that are loose-fitting. Of course, we may have to address issues that are specific to your buildings.

Cleanup | Sanitation

After we remove your rat problem, we may have to perform cleanup and sanitation. Cleanup will remove any damaged debris, including poop and urine-soaked insulation. All contaminated areas will be washed and then sprayed with a disinfectant that will remove any infectious virus that the rats may have spread through their nesting areas and pathways. When finished, the decontaminated areas will have a fresh scent, and you can rest assured you’ll have a healthful environment.

The Two Notorious Virginia Rats – Norway Rat and Roof Rat

Norway Rat

The Norway rat is regularly referred to as the street rat, brown rat, common rat, city rat, water rat, and more. These rats have poor vision and are colorblind, but their other senses are well-developed. And they run, climb, jump and swim. Norway rats cause damage to homes and businesses by gnawing on wood and urinating and pooping in areas they inhabit.

If you see capsule-shaped poop that is a sign you may have a Norway Rat in your home or business.

The female Norway rat reproduces 3 to 7 times a year and has many babies with each litter. Given this high reproduction rate, you need to be proactive and get rat control services into your building as quickly as possible before infestation sets in.

Norway rats love wood to gnaw on and its debris to build a nest, so please keep any woodpiles away from your buildings. And watch out for those leaky pipes as Norway rats are always searching for drinking water. Definitely don’t leave food garbage uncovered either, as Noway rats are always looking for a free meal.

Roof Rat

In Virginia, Roof Rats make nests in attics, ceilings, walls, and other high places. Roof rats are superb climbers, and they are attracted to the warmer, coastal areas like Virginia Beach. However, roof rats do get inland and are found 40-80 miles inland of the coastal regions.

Once in your buildings, Roof Rats will be pooping and peeing. Their poop is pointed at the ends, and pee stinks and can be harmful to your health.

Roof rats commonly live outdoors and are busier during the day than at night. If there is not enough food and shelter outside, they will search for Virginia buildings with food, warmth, and water. Gnawers of wires, roof rats can cause electrical problems and can set off a fire.

A female Roof Rat can have 25 babies per year, if not more, and become sexually active after two or three months. Each of her litters can have up to eight babies and as many as six litters a year.
