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

Two show up most: Norway rats, which burrow near foundations, sheds, and woodpiles, and roof rats, which climb into attics and along fences and trees. Both chew wiring and spread germs. Bliss Pest Services identifies which one you have, since that changes where we trap and seal.

How much does rat control cost near Salt Lake City?

Cost depends on the property size, whether it is a home or business, and how much sealing the entry points need. Bliss Pest Services inspects before quoting, so the plan matches your situation. Most jobs start with a free quote covering removal and prevention.

Is rat bait safe around pets and kids?

Bliss Pest Services places control methods in tamper resistant stations or areas your pets and kids cannot reach, and we favor trapping in yards where children play. Tell us where pets roam so we plan around them. Call 385-743-0018 to talk through safe options for your property.

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.
