Why rats hate us
A three-layer defense built for Austin rats
We do not spray and leave. We find the routes, trap out what is inside, and seal the home so the rats stay out.
Step one
Find every way in
Rats do not get in by accident. An experienced technician walks the attic, roofline, eaves, weep holes, and slab to map the nest zones, the runways, and every gap roof rats and Norway rats use. Guesswork is why rat jobs come back.

Step two
Trap and remove at the source
Traps go on the real runways where the grease marks, droppings, and gnawing show the rats travel, then get checked and reset until the activity stops. The rats are removed from the structure so nothing is left to rot in a wall.

Step three
Seal the home for good
Removal without sealing just clears space for the next rats traveling the same oak branch or fence line. The weep holes, roofline gaps, vents, and slab penetrations get closed with materials rats cannot chew through, so the problem does not come straight back.

How rat control works, step by step
No mystery and no runaround. Here is the path from the first call to a rat-free, sealed-up home.
Call and describe the problem
Tell us what you are hearing and where. You get straight rat advice on the phone and a plan for the next step, day or night.
Full inspection
An experienced rat technician walks the attic, roofline, slab, and yard to find the nest zones, the runways, and every way in.
Trap, remove, and treat
Traps go on the active runways, the roof rat and Norway rat population gets knocked down, and the work is monitored until the activity stops.
Seal and prevent
The weep holes, roofline gaps, vents, and slab penetrations that let rats in get sealed so the problem does not come straight back.
Why homeowners choose us
A local team that works rats all day
Choosing who to call matters. Here is what you get with a rat-only approach built for the way Austin and Central Texas are actually built.
A rat-only focus
Rats are the whole job here, so the inspection, trapping, and sealing are built around how roof rats and Norway rats actually move through an Austin home, not squeezed in around a general pest route.
Built for Central Texas
A mild climate, mature live oaks, limestone, and slab-on-grade homes give Austin rats their own set of routes. The plan is set up for the way Central Texas is actually built.
Get out, keep out
Trapping clears the rats you have. Sealing the weep holes, roofline gaps, and slab penetrations is what keeps the next ones from following the same path back in.
Honest, upfront pricing
You get a clear plan and no-surprise pricing before any work begins, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
Day-or-night help
Rats are most active after dark, which is exactly when most people hear them in the attic. Call any hour and describe what is going on, seven days a week.
Homes and businesses
From a single bungalow to a restaurant, office, or multi-unit building, the same rat-focused approach scales to the property and works around your hours.
The difference
Why homeowners choose a rat specialist
Most pest routes chase the symptom. A rat-only plan is built to stop the problem at the source and keep it out.
Know the signs
Signs of rats in your home
Rats leave a specific trail. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call before the population grows.
Scratching in the attic or ceiling
A scratch, gnaw, or scurry overhead after dark usually means roof rats are moving through the attic, along the joists, or in the wall voids.
Droppings in the kitchen or garage
Dark, spindle-shaped droppings in the pantry, under the sink, along the baseboards, or in the garage are a sign rats are feeding and traveling a set path.
Gnaw marks on wires and AC lines
Fresh chew marks on wiring, AC line sets, joists, or food packaging point to an active rat problem and a real fire and damage risk.
Rats on the fence lines or oak branches
Roof rats travel fence tops, power lines, and live oak branches at dusk in Austin, then slip into the attic through the roofline and eaves.
Burrows along the slab or foundation
Norway rats dig burrows next to slabs, garages, and along fence lines, then push in through weep holes, garage gaps, and utility penetrations.
A musty smell or grease trails
A heavy, musky odor can mean a nest or a dead rat, and dark, oily rub marks along beams and pipes show the runways rats travel every night.

Good to know
Rat control questions Austin homeowners ask
How much does rat control cost in Austin?
The price depends on whether you are dealing with roof rats, Norway rats, or both, how far they have spread, and how much sealing the home needs to keep them out. After an inspection you get upfront, no-surprise pricing before any work starts, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
Do I have roof rats or Norway rats?
Roof rats are agile climbers that work the attic, live oaks, and rooflines and make a scratching overhead, while Norway rats are heavier burrowers that stay low along slabs, garages, and sewer lines. A quick inspection settles which one you are dealing with and points the work in the right direction.
Why does Austin have so many roof rats?
Central Texas has a mild climate, a dense live oak canopy, and endless fence lines and utility runs that give roof rats food, cover, and elevated highways straight into the attic. Hot, dry summers push rats toward the water and shelter of a home. Sealing those routes is the part that keeps them from coming back.
How are rats getting into my house?
Roof rats climb in high through the roofline, eaves, vents, and gaps where utility lines enter, while Norway rats push in low through weep holes, garage gaps, and slab penetrations. An inspection maps the exact entry points so trapping and sealing target the real routes, not guesses.
Are the rats in my home dangerous?
Rats gnaw wiring and AC line sets, which is a real fire risk, and they contaminate insulation, counters, and food with urine and droppings that carry disease. They also breed fast, so a small problem can turn into a full infestation. That is why it pays to act on the first signs.
How fast can someone come out?
Call and describe what you are hearing and a plan gets set right away, day or night. For a rat loose in the living space, ask about emergency rat removal so the situation gets handled quickly.
