What kinds of rats are common in Salt Lake County homes?

The two most common species along the Wasatch Front are Norway rats, which tend to nest in basements and sewers, and Roof rats, which prefer attics and upper parts of the home. Both can cause significant damage if left unchecked.

How do you prevent rats from coming back after treatment?

We find every gap larger than a quarter inch and seal it permanently with wire mesh, steel wool, and commercial-grade foam sealant. Removing entry points is the only long-term solution — trapping alone won't stop new rats from moving in.

Is rat bait safe if I have pets or kids in the yard?

Yes. We only use bait inside locked, tamper-resistant stations that are anchored to the ground — pets and children cannot access the bait inside, and non-target wildlife is protected as well.

Why Prompt Rat Control is Critical

Rats are known carriers of pathogens like:

Leptospirosis
Salmonella
Hantavirus
Rat-bite fever

They can also cause structural and electrical damage by gnawing on:

Wires (creating fire hazards)
Drywall and insulation
Plumbing and HVAC components
Stored goods and packaging

In addition to health and safety risks, the presence of rats can harm your reputation and impact property value—especially in commercial or multi-unit residential settings.

Common Signs of a Rat Infestation

If you’ve noticed any of the following, it's time to schedule an inspection:

Droppings, especially near food sources or along walls
Gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or baseboards
Grease marks along walls or floors
Scurrying or scratching sounds in ceilings or walls
Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric
A musky, foul odor in enclosed spaces

Rats are nocturnal, so you may not see them directly—but these signs are strong indicators of their presence.

Our Rat Control Process

1. Thorough Inspection

We begin with a full evaluation of your home or business to identify rat entry points, nesting sites, food and water sources, and the extent of the infestation.

2. Customized Treatment Plan

Our strategy may include a combination of:

Baiting Stations: Locked, tamper-resistant bait systems to eliminate rats discreetly and safely
Trapping: Live or snap traps in targeted areas for active infestations
Exclusion: Sealing holes, cracks, and utility gaps to prevent rats from re-entering

We tailor every plan to your property’s layout, the severity of the issue, and your safety concerns—especially in homes with pets or children.

3. Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention

We don’t just remove rats—we keep them out. After the initial treatment, we monitor for signs of new activity and provide actionable steps to reduce attractants, such as improving sanitation and removing harboring areas.
