Disease and Contamination Cleanup
Rat droppings contain dangerous pathogens. Our team removes all traces of urine, feces, and nesting materials, restoring your home’s safety and cleanliness.
Gnawing, Scurrying, Trouble: How to Tell You’ve Got Rats
Rats leave destructive evidence wherever they go. Here are the clearest signs that rats are inside your home or business:
Large Droppings and Grease Marks
Rat droppings are thicker and longer than mouse droppings, commonly found in basements, near pet food, and along walls. Their oily fur leaves dark streaks on floors and baseboards.
Gnawed Wires, Pipes and Wood
Rats have powerful teeth that can chew through plastic, wood, and even electrical wiring, creating fire hazards. If you find frayed wires or bite marks on furniture, they may be nesting nearby.
Heavy Footsteps and Scratching Sounds
Unlike mice, rats are heavier and make louder scratching, rustling, and thumping noises inside walls, attics, and basements.
Burrow Holes in Gardens and Crawl Spaces
Rats dig tunnels along foundation walls, under decks, and in gardens. If you spot small burrow entrances, it could mean rats are living beneath your property.

Big Rodents, Bigger Problems: Common Rat Issues
Rats are larger, more destructive, and more aggressive than mice. Here’s why they’re a major problem:
Structural Damage from Gnawing
Rats chew through wood, drywall, insulation, and even metal to create entry points. Their destructive behaviour can weaken home foundations over time.
Rat-Borne Diseases
Rats carry leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, spreading these pathogens through their urine and droppings. Inhaling dust contaminated by rat droppings can lead to serious respiratory illnesses.
Aggressive Behaviour and Biting Risks
Unlike mice, rats can be aggressive when cornered. They have been known to bite humans and pets, especially when food sources become scarce.
Large, Noisy Infestations
Rats travel in packs and leave behind loud scratching, squeaking, and thumping noises in walls, attics, and basements. A rat colony can multiply exponentially if left unchecked.

Rat Control Questions? We’ve Got Answers
What are the signs of a rat infestation in my home?
Typical signs of rats include larger, capsule-shaped droppings, scratching or gnawing noises in walls or under floors (often at night), and visible damage like chewed holes in food containers or wood. You might also spot greasy rub marks along walls or notice burrows near the foundation if rats are coming from outside.
Are rats dangerous to have around my family?
Rats can pose health and safety hazards. They carry diseases such as leptospirosis and salmonella that can spread through their urine or droppings. Rats may also bite if cornered (though it’s uncommon). Additionally, their constant gnawing can damage electrical wiring or wood structures, creating fire risks. It’s important to address a rat problem promptly to protect your home and family.
What methods are used to eliminate a rat infestation?
Professionals use a mix of traps and bait. Snap traps are set in strategic spots, and tamper-proof bait stations may be used in areas inaccessible to kids or pets. They also seal entry holes to keep new rats out. This comprehensive approach eliminates current rats and prevents re-infestation.
Do you use humane approaches for rat removal, or will they be killed?
We aim to be as humane as possible, but unlike larger wildlife, rats can’t simply be relocated. They are typically euthanized through quick-kill methods because releasing them won’t solve the infestation. We avoid unnecessary suffering by using effective traps that kill rats instantly. Our focus is on resolving the problem swiftly and preventing future issues, all while following Ontario’s pest control regulations.
Is it safe to use rat poison in my home with children and pets around?
Caution is key with any rodenticide. We use poison only in secure, tamper-resistant bait stations placed where kids and pets can’t reach them. In many cases, we rely more on trapping to avoid any risk. Our team ensures that all methods used are family- and pet-safe while effectively dealing with the rats.
How can I rodent-proof my house to keep rats from returning?
To keep rats out, remove attractants and block entry points. Seal any cracks or holes in the foundation, walls, and roof. Cover exterior vents with wire mesh. Also store garbage and food waste in tightly closed bins. These steps make your home far less likely to get rats again.
What damage can a rat cause if it stays in my house?
Rats constantly chew, so they can gnaw through electrical wires (causing fire risks), pipes (leading to leaks), and wood or insulation. They also shred fabrics and papers for nesting and contaminate areas with urine and droppings. This damage can become extensive and expensive, so swift removal is important.
