Rats can chew through wires, damage insulation, and contaminate food, leading to serious problems in your home or business. Left unchecked, a rat infestation can quickly get out of hand.

Problems Caused by Rats

Health Hazards

Rats carry diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, and rat-bite fever. Their droppings, urine, and saliva contaminate surfaces and food, putting humans and pets at risk of infection, especially in kitchens or areas where food is stored.

Structural Damage

Rats have strong teeth that can chew through wood, insulation, and electrical wires. This behavior can lead to costly damage and increases the chance of electrical fires due to exposed wiring.

Contamination

Like mice, rats contaminate food with their droppings and urine. This can lead to the spread of foodborne illnesses and compromise the safety of your food preparation areas.

Rapid Reproduction

A single female rat can produce several litters of up to 12 pups each year. Their rapid breeding cycle makes it difficult to control rat populations without professional help, as a few rats can quickly turn into a full-scale infestation.

Learn More About Rat Management

Understanding what attracts rats to your property can help in both preventing and managing infestations:

  • Access to Food Sources: Rats are opportunistic feeders and will go wherever they can find food easily. Open garbage cans, pet food left outside, and poorly sealed food containers all serve as attractive food sources, drawing rats into residential and commercial areas.
  • Nesting Sites: Rats look for warm, dark spaces to build nests, such as attics, basements, and wall cavities. Cluttered or neglected areas are especially appealing to rats, as they offer protection and shelter for breeding.
  • Environmental Factors: Urban areas, especially those near dumpsters, landfills, or overgrown vegetation, provide plenty of food and shelter for rats. These conditions make properties more vulnerable to infestations.
  • Gaps and Holes: Rats can squeeze through incredibly small openings, sometimes as narrow as a quarter of an inch. Sealing these openings can help prevent rats from entering your home or business.
How GGA Treats Rat Infestations

Our process covers every step to solve the issue and protect your property. Here’s how we handle rat infestations:

  • Professional Extermination Services: We start by thoroughly assessing the extent of the infestation. This allows us to understand the scale of the problem and determine the best approach before moving forward with treatment.
  • Baiting and Trapping: We place bait stations and traps to reduce rat populations quickly and safely. These methods help remove existing rats and allow us to monitor and control future activity effectively.
  • Rodent Exclusion: Our technicians will inspect your property for potential entry points and seal gaps to prevent rats from returning. By blocking access, we make sure rats are unable to enter your home or business again.
  • Sanitation and Hygiene Measures: After treatment, we provide advice on improving sanitation, such as proper food storage and waste management, to minimize the chances of attracting rats in the future.
Prevention Tips

Preventing rat infestations is the best way to keep your home or business safe. Here are some practical steps you can take:

  • Secure Food Storage: Store your food in durable, airtight containers, and keep pet food indoors to minimize attractants for rats.
  • Regular Maintenance: Inspect your property for potential entry points and trim landscaping to reduce hiding places for rats.
  • Proper Waste Disposal: Use tightly sealed garbage bins and empty them regularly. This reduces the amount of food waste available to rats and decreases the likelihood of them being drawn to your property.
  • Eliminate Nesting Opportunities: Clear out clutter and debris from your yard, basement, or garage. Removing potential nesting sites makes your property less appealing to rats looking for shelter.

    I made an appointment for a service call. The appointment was scheduled quickly. Robert came to my house on time and as scheduled. He did an inspection, answered all my questions and addressed call my concerns. He give me options and suggestions. He was able to provide the necessary treatment while there. He was super courteous and respectful. He was not pushy in any way. About two weeks later there was a follow up call from the office to confirm everything was okay. Great service. Highly recommend.

    Do you want rats in your attic? I am old, a woman, low fixed income and disabled with arthritis and have contracted with GGA since 2017. There was confirmed occupancy of rats in my attic, 3 killed BUT with hearing the activity one or more remain. Next move belongs to GGA and GGA came to the rescue and with the help of kind Virgil After an additional week of rat traps and no running rats in the attic, I am confident the rats are gone. Thank you to Bailey and Virgil.

    Their service came recommended from the local community Facebook page which was a driving factor for me because I wanted to go with somebody who was local. The technician that came out to do the initial inspection and spray did a great job, despite my little dog wanting to eat him. He was prompt upfront with all the pricing and by the looks of everything did an outstanding thorough job.
