Why Professional Rat Removal Is Worth It
DIY traps and poisons may kill a few rats but rarely solve the problem completely. Rats breed quickly, and without addressing the root cause, infestations return. Our professional service not only removes the current problem but also prevents it from coming back.
Factors That May Affect Cost
- Size of the infestation: Large infestations may require multiple treatments.
- Property type: Larger homes or commercial buildings may take longer to secure.
- Access issues: Hard-to-reach lofts, basements, or drainage systems may increase complexity.
Health Risks of Ignoring Rats
Rats spread dangerous diseases such as Weil’s disease, salmonella, and E.coli. They also gnaw through wires, pipes, and insulation, creating fire hazards and expensive repair bills. At the first sign of rats, it’s essential to act fast.
