    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 recently had a spider infestation in my house and was terrified. I called Insight and spoke with Krista. She was able to ease my mind and really help me understand and navigate my options. She put me at ease with knowing the people at insight would take care of it. I am extremely grateful because now I can sleep knowing that me and my kiddos are not going to get spider bites.Thank you so much! .

    I’ve been having an ongoing ant issue. Two other companies came out to try to get rid of them with no luck. I called Insight Pest Management as a last resort and Krista was such a huge help. She got a tech out the same day! And it was the same cost as the other places. Insight was able to get rid of the ants and Krista added a follow up visit at no extra cost to make sure that they were really gone. I will be using them again and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

    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.
