If you notice any of these signs, do not wait. A small infestation grows exponentially.
Rats are intelligent, cautious, and neophobic. Successful removal requires species‑specific strategies and high-quality trapping techniques.
Our technicians:
Perform a thorough inspection of your attic, crawlspace, basement, walls, and exterior to identify rat species (roof rats vs. Norway rats), entry points, and travel routes.
Use multiple trap types – snap traps, live traps, and electronic traps placed strategically along rat runways (walls, rafters, crawlspace edges).
Pre‑bait traps without setting them initially to overcome neophobia – rats become comfortable before trapping begins.
Install multiple traps – for every rat you see, expect 5–10 more hidden nearby.
Check traps daily and remove captured rats, resetting as needed.
Never use glue traps except as a last resort (they are inhumane and ineffective for larger rats).
Never use poison – poison causes rats to die inside walls, creating unbearable odors and secondary poisoning risks to pets and wildlife.
We comply with all Georgia DNR regulations and follow NWCOA best practices for rodent control.
After rats have been removed, we permanently seal every potential entry point on your home’s exterior using professional-grade, rat-proof materials. Rats can squeeze through a gap as small as ½ inch (Norway rats) or ¼ inch (roof rats).
Galvanized steel mesh (heavy gauge) over attic vents, gable vents, soffit vents, crawlspace vents, and dryer vents.
Copper mesh + expanding foam for small cracks in foundations, siding, brick mortar, and around pipe penetrations.
Door sweeps for all exterior doors, garage doors, and crawlspace access doors – rats can squeeze under a ½‑inch gap.
Foundation crack sealing with hydraulic cement or concrete patching.
Soffit and fascia repair where rats have chewed through.
Roofline flashing repairs to block roof rats that climb trees and jump onto roofs.
Weep hole screens (stainless steel mesh) to block entry while allowing wall drainage.
Tree branch trimming to remove overhanging limbs that provide roof rats with access to your roofline.
Result: Your home becomes physically rat‑proof. Rats cannot re-enter through any gap.
Rats leave behind droppings, urine, nesting debris, parasites, and destroyed insulation – all serious health hazards. Rat urine and droppings can contain leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella. We restore your attic through:
HEPA vacuum removal of all contaminated insulation, droppings, nesting debris, and urine-soaked material.
Hospital‑grade disinfectant fogging of the entire attic space to kill bacteria, viruses, and odors.
Enzyme treatment for urine stains to break down proteins and eliminate ammonia smells.
Parasite control for fleas, ticks, mites, and lice that rats carry.
New insulation installation (fiberglass or spray foam) to restore energy efficiency.
Odor neutralization to permanently eliminate musty rat smells.
Structural damage repair for chewed wood, wiring, and drywall.
Rats cause extensive damage that must be professionally repaired:
Chewed electrical wiring – Fire hazard, requires replacement. Rats are responsible for a significant percentage of house fires from gnawed wires.
Chewed water pipes and PVC – Can cause leaks and water damage.
Chewed wood framing, soffits, fascia – Structural and cosmetic damage.
Drywall holes – Rats can chew through drywall into living spaces.
HVAC duct damage – Rats tear holes in flexible ducts, reducing efficiency and spreading contaminants.
Insulation replacement – Urine-saturated insulation loses R-value and becomes a biohazard.
Crawlspace cleaning and encapsulation – Norway rats often nest in crawlspaces, requiring full remediation.
Licensed specialist inspects attic, crawlspace, roofline, and foundation to identify rat entry points, nesting sites, droppings, and damage.
Live traps and one‑way exclusion doors remove all rats — no poisons, no dead rats inside walls, no risk to pets or wildlife.
Every gap ¼ inch or larger is sealed with galvanized steel mesh, copper wool, vent covers, and roofline repairs. Rats cannot re‑enter.
HEPA vacuum removes contaminated insulation and droppings. Disinfectant fogging kills bacteria and odors. New insulation installed.
Store‑bought traps – Rats are cautious (neophobic) and avoid unfamiliar objects. Professional pre‑baiting and strategic placement are required for success
Poisons / rodenticides – Rats die inside walls, creating unbearable odors requiring wall demolition. Also causes secondary poisoning to pets and wildlife
Caulk / spray foam – Rats chew through these soft materials within hours. Professional exclusion requires steel mesh and metal flashing
Ignoring entry points – New rats will simply replace removed ones. Exclusion is mandatory for permanent results
A&A Wildlife’s difference: We are exclusion‑first rat removal specialists. We do not close a job until your home is physically rat‑proof.
We provide a 100% free, no‑obligation inspection that includes a written report with photos of entry points, rat activity, and damage. You only pay when you approve work.
Most residential rat removal jobs vary depending on infestation severity, number of entry points, home size, and whether attic restoration is needed. Standard rat removal averages around $400–$600, while larger or more stubborn infestations can reach $1,200 or more. We provide a fixed price upfront — no hourly surprises.
Often, yes — especially when rats cause structural damage like chewed wiring, torn insulation, or roofline breaches. We provide detailed documentation and photos to help you file a claim. Check your specific policy, as some exclude pest‑related damage.
Rat removal captures and removes existing rats from your home. Rat exclusion seals all entry points to prevent future rats from entering. Exclusion is the only long‑term solution. We perform both.
No. We never use poisons. Poison causes secondary poisoning to pets and wildlife. Rats that die inside walls create severe odor problems requiring wall demolition. We use humane trapping and exclusion methods only.
Most infestations are resolved within 7–14 days, including initial trapping, follow‑up visits, exclusion repairs, and attic restoration. Severe infestations may require additional time.
Yes. We have extensive experience with severe roof rat and Norway rat infestations in attics, crawlspaces, and commercial properties. Our multi‑catch traps and colony exclusion methods are designed for large populations.
All exclusion work comes with a minimum 1‑year warranty. If a rat re‑enters through a sealed point, we repair it at no charge.
Ready to get rid of the nuisance wildlife that’s been damaging your home and keeping you up at night? You’ve come to the right place.
