You should take a rat infestation seriously since rats can cause extensive and costly damage to your household or your business. It is more than just an inconvenience. Here are some of the dangers of rat infestation. Some of the diseases that can be transmitted by rats are salmonellosis, plague, and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. They transmit these diseases through their bites, flea bites, and the contamination of food or water with their droppings or urine. Rats can chew through wood, rip up insulation, damage furniture, boreholes in the walls, and eat paper— including important documents. If you don’t solve your rat infestation in time, it can lead to an appreciable financial loss. They can chew electrical wires, leading to an electrical bridge that could cause a fire. Rats can emit a foul odour when they die in your walls. This odour can be very horrific. Rats make disturbing noises. The noise they make in your walls and attic can be annoying and may even disturb your sleep.

Diseases Spread By Rats

The hantavirus that many rats have is essentially a severe respiratory disease that can be fatal. Some symptoms of the disease include muscle aches in the thighs, back, shoulders, hips and the infected individual can also experience abdominal pain, chills, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and potentially severe diarrhea. It could take up to a week or several days to show signs and symptoms of the hantavirus.

Lymphocytic cryo-meningitis LCM is a viral infectious disease caused by virus. LCM can be transmitted from the common house mice and rats. It’s estimated about 5% of mice in North America carry this disease. 

Other potential health problems rats may cause include, the plague and tularemia which are also very serious health concerns. The plague bacterium Yersinia pestis is often transmitted through flea bites. Your pets can also bring in infected fleas into the home. Tularemia is a disease caused by bacteria typically found on rodents and rabbits. You can become infected through ticks or infected animals.

What attracts rat to your yard and home?

Rats eat almost anything, though they have a preference for some foods like cereals, grains, and plants. Whether outdoor or indoor, rats can pick up the scent of food from afar. Therefore you need to keep all attractants away to avoid an infestation. Other foods include meat, fish, fruits, berries, nuts, etc. Remember that pet food can attract rats into your yard. Rats need water daily to survive as they consume between 20 to 60 ml of water per day. Make sure to fix your leaking taps or pipes. Rats need a warm place to stay or breed, especially during the winter season when it’s cold outside.

Keeping your surroundings clean will go a long way to make your home or commercial building uninviting to rats. Things like pet waste and poop, compost bins, garbage cans, waste from the vegetable garden, nuts, un-harvested fruits, leftovers, etc. must be dealt with immediatly.

DEALING WITH RAT INFESTATION

Dealing with a rat infestation can become costly as well as pose health risks to you and your family. Rats do not only contaminate food and spread diseases but also gnaw through walls and electrical wiring, making them among the most destructive of all pests. Our rat exterminator Kitchener and Waterloo technicians will inspect your home and determine vulnerable areas and potential rat entry points and define the amount of damage they have already done to your property. Once this is completed, we can give you a quote on the job and provide a detailed paln of action.

Pest Control Kitchener - Rat Extermination Methods

Rats are highly adaptable and resilient mammals that know how to find their way into homes or commercial buildings. Bringing years of expertise in exterminating rats in Kitchener and Waterloo, we have evolved strategies to keep your residence safe from the rat infesation using these methods;

For Exteriors

Rodenticides

At Pest Control Kitchener we deploy combined rodenticide solutions to exterminate rats from the exteriors of your properties. Our technicians follow Canada’s pest control procedures to ensure the safety of residents when using rodenticides.

Rat Baiting Solution

Rat baiting is about the most effective means of controlling rat infestation. We make use of the non-anticoagulant and anti-coagulant rodenticides, placed in a tamper-proof bait station. Anti-coagulant causes blood clotting in the rat. The non-anticoagulant disrupts the rat’s nervous system to deplete the calcium in their blood. We follow pest management regulations and all our technicians have been trained to deliver top-notch rat extermination services in line with Health Canada and the Pest Management regulation

For Interiors

Snap traps

Pest Control Kitchener understands the increased risk of using rodenticides hence, we stick to snap traps for interiors. There are so many trap options available on the market but from our experience we make use of snap traps only.

Using snap traps is a proven technique for exterminating rats in Kitchener. With a snap trap, it is easier to measure the effectiveness of the extermination effort. The snap trap saves the residents the stress of dealing with the foul smell of rotting dead rats inside walls, attics etc.
With careful examination and unique methods of baiting, we place the traps in locations where they meet the target and avoid non-target animals.

Contact us for rat exterminator services in Kitchener and Waterloo. We also offer a professional exclusion program that helps reduce the chance of a re-infestation of rats.

Rat Extermination Process

Inspection of property

The rat extermination process begins with a thorough inspection of your residence or commercial building. Inspection activities include:

  • Scope of the infestation – beginner, medium or full-blown infestation.
  • Locate entry points from the exterior and interior of the property.
  • Locate the rat nest/ breeding sites – interior or exterior.
  • Identification of rat species
  • Identify the extent of the damage done.
  • Investigate the likely cause of the infestation
  • Recommend a course of action to exterminate rat as well as possible exclusion requirements.
  • Identify likely risks to children and pets and offer a solution.

Extermination Process

Using the information collected during the inspection process, our rat exterminators will move on to the rat extermination stage.

Rat Extermination Methods

  • Bait stations set up 
  • Snap traps set up

Rat Extermination Process

  • The technician locates the best place for a rat bait station. Using a properly placed rat-sized bait station reduces the chance of non-targeted animals getting harmed.
  • The technician will recommend removing other competing food sources to increase effectiveness of the bait station or trap.

Rat Exclusion Process

The rat exclusion process is also as necessary as every other stage to eliminate a re-infestation of the property. Our exterminators will conduct the following exclusion activities:

  • Sealing off all entry points
  • Introduction of vent covers

In carrying out extermination or exclusion services, we make use of top-grade materials and tools.
