Rat Removal

Seasonal Alert: Medium Activity

Once indoors, rats typically live in attics, but during the summer months it may be too hot for them to continue living there; however, cool basements and crawl spaces can provide perfect summer shelter for rats and other rodents. Once rodents have been attracted to your property, it’s only a matter of time before they find an opening on the outside of your home and come inside to seek out the food and water sources your home offers. If you encounter a problem with rats, please contact Capital Wildlife Control for immediate assistance. We are the wild control experts in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and rats removal is our specialty.

Rat Control

What Can We Do For You?

The rat rarely bites you but if he bit you it can transmit diseases such as plague (Pastereulla pestis), typhoid fever, tularemia ( Pasteurella tularensis), salmonellosis and trichinosis. Their life expectancy is less than 1 year, they usually have 5 to 6 litters of 10 babies per year.


EVALUATE
AND REMOVE
Capital Wildlife Control’s technicians have been specially trained to spot and identify entrance points of rats. These rodents can easily use cable or pipe holes to make nests, which can damage your property and create risks for your health. The strategic and systematic elimination of all rat is the least expensive and the most efficient method to solve an infestation problem. Making sure to block all possible access points is pertinent. Poisoning and trapping mice can do harm to humans and their pets. Plus, these methods don’t bring real long-term solutions and do not limit reproduction; worse, they leave dead rats in the walls and in the attics. Our elimination technique without poison is built on decades of research and proven results, making Capital Wildlife Control one of the leaders in animal wildlife control.
