Roof Rat Removal Mesa, AZ

How to Know if You Have Roof Rats in Your Home or Business

Roof rats, sometimes called black rats, typically nest above ground level—preferring places like attics, crawlspaces, ceilings, roofs, and wall cavities. They’re nocturnal, making nighttime the most common period for activity. Here are some common indicators that you may have a roof rat infestation:

• Scratching and scurrying noises: If you hear strange sounds coming from your attic or inside your walls after dark, it may be a sign of roof rats.
• Rat droppings: Dark, small droppings along your attic floors, insulation, or near food sources indicate roof rat activity.
• Gnaw marks: Chewed wires, damaged insulation, or gnawed wood beams signal roof rats looking to nest.
• Greasy rub marks: Oily streaks along your walls or near small openings are common signs rats use these paths frequently.
• Nesting materials: This could be in the shape of shredded paper, insulation bits, or fabric stuffed in hard-to-reach areas.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s advisable to contact a professional rodent control expert for inspection before the problem escalates.

Our Thorough Roof Rat Removal Process

At Darling Wildlife Services, our team has over 15 years of experience in wildlife removal, including roof rat removal. Unlike most pest control companies, our expertise is unmatched – we have an experienced wildlife biologist on our team who understands the behaviors and habits of common pests like roof rats. This in-depth knowledge allows us to provide innovative, humane, and highly effective pest control solutions.

Here’s what you can expect when you call us for roof rat removal in the Phoenix Valley:

Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection

Every successful removal begins with a careful inspection. During your free on-site wildlife consultation, we’ll thoroughly investigate your home. Our experts will check your attic, roofline, vents, and every possible entry point and determine the severity of the infestation.

Step 2: Humane Rat Removal Methods

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we’ll develop a custom pest removal plan and set up humane traps designed for roof rats. We never use harmful chemicals inside your home. Instead, our methods safely capture rats, ensuring your home remains safe for pets and family members.

Step 3: Rodent-Proofing Your Home

Removing roof rats is only half the job. Since roof rats are excellent climbers, we’ll seal all potential openings around vents, roofing edges, windows, and small holes around your home to help prevent re-infestation. Our rodent exclusion techniques also involve educating our clients on potential reasons why these rodents may be attracted to your home and what prevention measures to implement.

Step 4: Clean-Up and Attic Restoration

Rats leave behind droppings, urine, and nesting debris, contaminating your attic insulation. After the rats are gone, we thoroughly clean your attic and other affected areas and remove the nesting materials. If the infestation caused extensive insulation damage, we also offer attic insulation installation services to restore your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
