Rat Removal, Trapping & Exclusion Services

Eliminate Rats and Protect Your Property

Rats are highly invasive, destructive, and dangerous pests that can quickly take over your home. They gnaw through wires, walls, and insulation, contaminate food, and leave behind droppings that spread bacteria and disease. Worse still, rats reproduce rapidly, and a small infestation can turn into a major one in a matter of weeks.

USX Pest provides expert rat removal services that include trapping, baiting, and full-home exclusion. We begin with a detailed inspection of your attic, basement, kitchen, and foundation to locate activity and access points. Then, we implement a targeted removal plan using tamper-resistant traps and bait stations positioned for maximum effect.

After removal, we clean up rodent waste, repair damage, and seal every opening rats could use to return — using chew-proof materials designed to withstand future attempts. With ongoing monitoring and optional follow-up service, we make sure your rat problem is gone for good.

Full Home Rodent Inspection

We search for droppings, gnaw marks, nests, and damage throughout the property, focusing on areas rats commonly use to enter or hide.

Trapping and Population Elimination

We install tamper-resistant traps and bait stations in key areas, adjusting placement as needed for full elimination.

Exclusion and Sanitation

Once rats are removed, we seal access points, clean up droppings, and replace damaged insulation to ensure your home is rat-free.

Stop Destruction and Disease

Rats chew through wires, pipes, and drywall, causing fire hazards, water leaks, and structural issues. Their urine and droppings carry pathogens that pose serious health risks. We remove them safely and restore a clean, secure living space.

Seal Entry Points and Stop Reinvasion

Our exclusion process targets holes in siding, roof returns, vent gaps, and utility lines — sealing them with reinforced materials that rats cannot chew through.

Keeping Pests Out For Good

Signs of a Rat Infestation

Watch for these common indicators that rats may be nesting inside your home.

Noises in Walls or Attic at Night

Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds at night suggest rats are active in the walls or ceiling.

Droppings in Cabinets or Corners

Dark, pellet-shaped droppings in hidden areas like cabinets, basements, or closets signal rat activity.

Grease Trails or Smudge Marks

Rats leave dirty marks along walls and baseboards from repeated contact with their fur.

Chewed Openings or Wires

Gnawed food packaging, chewed plastic, or damaged wiring are signs of destructive rat behavior.

Strong Ammonia-Like Odor

Rat urine has a strong, musky smell that becomes more intense as the infestation grows.

Nests Made of Shredded Material

Paper, cloth, and insulation are often shredded to form rat nests in wall voids or attics.
