Customer Rat Email: David, We have something scratching around above our master bedroom, with a cathedral ceiling. I have no idea what is up there, but I'm almost sure that it's a rat.
All i hear is scratching, not crying or animal noises. I have no idea who to contact in my area or what approach to take. There is also no inside access to this attic area. Any advice from you would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to find out what you would charge to get rid of a rat that has just recently gotten into my attic. I am on a really tight budget + may not be able to afford right now. Square footage of my home is 1,700. Feel free to e-mail back or call. Thx:) Caroline
My Answer: You can contact someone in your area via my national directory of rat control experts. Ask them for their pricing policies.
If you need rodent control services in your hometown, click for the National Directory of
Rat Trappers that I've carefully compiled in every USA city.
There are three kinds of rodents commonly found inside buildings (in the attics, walls, and even inside the living space). They are the Roof Rat (Rattus rattus), which is also called the Black Rat, then there's the
Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus), also known as the Brown Rat, and the House Mouse (Mus musculus). Roof Rats are more common in the south, such as Florida, where I work. The above photo is of a Roof Rat. They are very
common inside attics. The Norway Rat is more common in the northern section of the United States. The Norways are more commonly found underground, in subways and sewers and such. The House Mouse is found everywhere, but
seems more common in the north. All of these rodents thrive in urban areas and love to live in human buildings and houses. They use human garbage (and pantries) as sources of food. All of these rodents are carriers of
several diseases that can infect humans and pets. They contaminate homes and attics. The only way to permanently solve a rat problem is to find out how the rodents are gaining access to the inside of the building, and
fix those openings. Then the remaining rats inside have to be trapped and removed. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Rats page.
AAAnimal Control is a privately owned wildlife removal and pest control business, located in Orlando Florida. I deal strictly with wild animals such as rats. I am not an extermination company, but a critter removal
and control specialist. The above photos are some of the many that I've taken in the field over my years of work. Please email me if
you have any questions about the above photographs, or any questions about
wildlife problems or rat control issues.
