In the past year, more than 14 million American homeowners reported seeing rodents inside their homes. Dealing with any type of rodent in your home is a cause for stress and frustration. You don’t know how long they’ve been there or how much damage they’ve done, and you may find yourself desperate to get rid of them by any means necessary.
Finding the best pest control services for a rat problem starts with understanding what solutions different professionals provide.
Should I Call an Exterminator for a Rat Infestation?
Exterminators are state-licensed technicians trained to kill insects, bugs, and rodents using chemical products, baits, and traps. They apply solutions to interior and exterior spaces of homes, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and other structures.
Exterminators must know the biology, habits, and habitats of rats and mice to stop rodents from causing damage or ease the fears of property owners. They create a plan of action that typically involves repeated chemical applications to treat areas where pests are active.
Get Rid of Rats with Critter Control of Macon
Critter Control provides solutions to all the problems caused by rats in your house. At Critter Control, we focus on rat trapping and exclusion to yield the best rat control.
We begin by inspecting the property to discover how rats are getting into your home and devising an exclusion plan to stop them. Based on the inspection, we create a custom rat control plan. The custom plan includes types of rat traps used, placement, and bait. The standard trapping duration normally takes between five to fourteen days. The trapping process might take longer if the rats are well-established.
Rats cause extensive damage, and we repair it. Rat droppings pose an ongoing health risk. We clean up feces and apply a sanitization agent to those areas. In extreme cases, insulation replacement might be necessary.
Finally, we provide a recurring rat control plan involving strategically placed bait stations around your property to keep rats out.
Rat Exterminator vs Critter Control of Macon
Exterminators aim to get rid of pests using a combination of techniques. They begin with a pest inspection of the property to develop a treatment plan. They do not always figure out the source of the pest problem, which means you may experience future pest problems.
At Critter Control, we use various methods to eliminate and prevent rodent activity. “Control” refers to how we provide long-term rat removal solutions.
Testimonials
This company has been great. The technician Kensi was very through and checked everywhere to make sure all access points were found. After a skunk was found in the trap on a Saturday morning they came to pick it up very quickly.
Michael was super friendly and knowledgeable. He checked my entire house and recommended and installed the solution within an hour.
We are under contract with your company and so far they are doing a fine job. Many thanks.
Excellent work environment full of presence of God. Professional and dedicated staff. A good place if you want to have your children in a place where Christian values are protected and encouraged.
Great company and amazing service, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you to the staff and especially to Bubba for taking care of my property and giving it that "personal touch" to rid and maintain it from pests and bugs! Appreciate you guys and look forward to continuing business together!
Thank you!
So when I went to have my insulation replaced I figured out that I had a critter problem that was beyond anything I was aware of. Not wanting to waste time I decided to call a professional and these guys were really good from day one. From the gentleman who gave the estimate to both of the guys that came out and did the work there was great communication and they were very effective at what they did. One little thing got missed and all it took was one text message and somebody was out the next day to take care of it. They always text me when they're on their way or going to be at the house and they let me know what they found along with photographs. My first thought when they gave me the quote was wow that was a lot of money and I didn't want to spend that much and now that I've had them do the service I feel like it's worth every penny and it's actually pretty damn reasonable considering the number of times that they come out and all the things that they do take care of.
I had an issue with squirrels getting into a small section of roofing without access from the attic or inside of the home. Critter control was a huge help in solving the issue, especially thanks to Brandon and Nate. Ended up catching 3 squirrels living in the roof plus they seal the entrance point after all is said and done. I would absolutely recommend critter control, Brandon and Nate did a stellar job.
Dominick was very friendly and he consistently put on his shoe covers each time he entered the house. He looked over every inch of the storage room where we thought the animal was and did a walk around the yard to see if there was evidence of entry. He was very thorough. He did not find any animal at that time. He said he would leave a trap and review the outside area of the house over the next week. It was the next day that the smell in our storage room indicated that the animal had died. We followed the small and discovered a dead bird in an open storage bin. I would highly recommend Dominick for 'Critter Control'.
Thank you,
Valerie
Great explanations regarding findings, friendly, quality work! Each encounter with their tech has been professional and educational.
your representative (Dominic) was very friendly and quickly removed the dying raccoon from our outdoor window-well. He also shared information with us regarding raccoons on their behavior, what they liked/disliked, and provided information on how to disinfect the area the raccoon had been trapped in for a couple of days. I'd rate him 9 stars if I could. -pja
