    What to Expect

    In order to eradicate rats from your property and prevent their return, our expert technicians go through a 5-step process that addresses infestations, indoor removal, and outside action. But what does that really mean?

    Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect with rat and rodent management.

    Inspection

    Technicians will do a thorough inspection of your home, identifying rat activity, active and potential areas of entry, and rat identification.

    Documentation & repair

    Documentation & repair During the inspection, our experts look for potential structural damage, such as soiled insulation or damaged wiring, often caused by rats. All damage is documented, and our technicians will recommend repair through our pest repair services.

    Strategy

    Once the infestation is identified, our team creates a treatment protocol for rat extermination. Treatment options will be discussed with you, as well as when you can expect to see results.

    Prevention

    Once the rats are removed from inside the property, our experts will discuss prevention methods and treatment options, such as rodent control stations, to prevent rats from returning.

    Treatment

    Treatment for rats begins with sealing all interior entry locations and a 3-week “trap-out” program with regular visits from our experts to remove and dispose of all rats.

    Rat infestations pose
    “>significant health risks

    Have you seen rats within your home or business? Have you discovered and cleaned up rat feces? While seeing these rodents and traces of their presence is unsettling enough, the fact is their presence in your home or business can actually contribute to health complications. 

    Throughout history, rats have played a role in many major medical events, such as the Black Plague. These days, the presence of rats in your location can contribute to an increase in allergic reactions due to their dander and feces, but they can also spread Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, Rat-Bite Fever, and Salmonellosis. 

    Addressing a rat problem immediately after seeing your first rat is essential for your health and the team at Insight Pest Management is ready to help. Better yet, let our team come out and put preventative measures in place so you don’t have to worry about rats in the first place.

    Provide a safe environment
    “>for your family and customers

    Rat remediation by our experts helps to ensure your family or your business is safe from the dangers a rat infestation can cause. 

    Once the rats are removed and entry points are secure, the team of experts helps to ensure that the damage done by rats is removed as well. 

    This includes the professional removal and replacement of insulation within the property that is contaminated by feces and nesting material. This is done with a specialized mounted vacuum that collects dropping and insulation material without spreading germs throughout your home or property. 

    The area is then sanitized and deodorized before new R-30/38 Rolled Batten insulation is replaced.

    I’ve been using Insight pest control for a couple of years now and I really do love their services. What I do like the most is I have the same technicians so they are familiar with the property each and every time theres service. The property ground are a good size about an acre or so. Elvis and Tim are both very thorough and point things out that need attention, if there’s a vent that looks like an animal got in, or if they sees any other damages or concerns. Thank you so much to you both for keeping us as peace knowing you have top service!!!

    This company is the best for pest management I’ve ever had due my little home ever! The technician named Elvis just left my property. He explained in detail all that he has done,especially where I had spider webs! Gross! The technician before him was named Setton,and he was just as thorough and polite! And, thank you to Krystal for her kindness every time I’ve called the office.

    Israel came to our home on time and did a thorough inspection. He provided us with recommendations for rodent proofing our home and also discovered a termite situation. Insight’s bid for tenting was very competitive and they ended up doing the work for us. We also implemented all of Israel’s recommendations for rodent proofing. They also came and opened the ceiling after tenting to clean the insulation and we found two rats after the house was tented. They sanitized and deodorized the area. I have signed up for a monthly maintenance. Would highly recommend them and can’t thank Israel enough!

    Elvis was very helpful and adressed every concern that I had. He made sure to take the time to point out where the ants where coming from and how they possibly could be traveling through bushes as they are touching the house/roof. He took the time to spray every possible area. Thank you so much Elvis!

    Greatest pest control company in county, I own a condo in Oxnard and have contacted 3 other pest control company in the past to help me get rid of a rat problem. None of the other pest control companies have done such an intensive job to find the entry points and seal these areas. Nate the technician for insight pest management came by and spent almost 2 hours inspecting the condo. What a true professional. I recommend this company to anyone looking to get the job done correctly.

    Insight Pest Management is beyond the best bug experts I have ever talked to! I was really struggling to find professional help to understand what was going on in my RV. Most places I called wouldn’t even service RV’s! The expertise I received was astounding. The appointment did not feel rushed & everything was looked at very thoroughly. We even compared the sawdust I thought was termite droppings to photos that actually were from termites. We also compared the bugs I caught photos of to actual termites. I was even educated on what I can do to prevent bugs making homes in my rig. All of my questions were answered, above & beyond. I was so impressed, I highly recommend this business to all! Thank you so much Insight Pest Management!!!

    Krista is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I am so incredibly grateful to have gotten to know her and the team of techs. She deserves the upmost respect for all of the work she does. Nate, Tim, Setton, Elvis, Steven, Octavio and Will are incredible people and I am grateful to have met each and every one.

    Was introduced to Setton from Insight Pest Management, who informed me about opportunities they offer that would benefit our properties from challenges experienced during any given infestation. He was highly knowledgeable, responded in a timely manner, and he genuinely cared about the concerns I had. Appreciate the interactions in addressing options. Thank you, Setton and Insight Pest Management.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What is the best way to get rid of rats?

      The recent passing of the California Ecosystems Protection Act bans the use of second-generation anticoagulants traditionally used for baiting and killing rodents such as rats.

      Now, eliminating rats from your home becomes a time-consuming and multiple-step process that includes trapping and removing rats, identifying and sealing potential entry points, addressing your outdoor property to include rat deterrents, and adding rat trapping stations.

      Unfortunately, rats are often not just an individual property problem, but a neighborhood problem, so the treatment options must address every possible attraction.

    • What attracts rats to my house?

      While a nice comfy shelter may attract some rats, the most common thing that makes your home attractive to rats is food. They are not picky eaters and will eat anything.

      Things like pet food, open garbage cans, barbeque grills, bird feeders, and fallen fruit from trees are enough to bring them onto your property and then they just follow the smell of food into your home.

    • How do I know if rats are gone?

      When there are no longer signs of a rat infestation, such as new signs of droppings, you can feel secure that the rats are no longer in your home.

      In order to make sure they stay away, you will need to continue with your outdoor rat management program, especially if there is a history of rats in your neighborhood.

    • How long will it take to get rid of rats?

      Rat removal and management can take at least three weeks, with longer periods necessary in the case of severe rat infestation.
