EnviroGuard Professional Rat Control in Virginia, Maryland and DC
Rats are a common issue for both homes and businesses in Virginia, Maryland and DC. These pests are more than just an annoyance—they can carry diseases, cause structural damage, and even pose health risks to people and pets. EnviroGuard offers professional rat control and removal services to help keep your property safe, clean, and free of rats.
Why Rat Control is Important
Rats are known for spreading illnesses through their droppings, urine, and even their fur. Diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella can be transmitted by rats, posing serious health risks for humans and pets. Rats can also carry fleas and mites that spread additional diseases. This makes rat control essential for maintaining a safe environment in your home or business.
In addition to health risks, rats can also cause serious damage to a property. They are notorious chewers and can gnaw through walls, insulation, pipes, and even electrical wires, which can lead to costly repairs and increase fire risks. Rats are also very adaptable and breed quickly, meaning that a few rats can turn into a large infestation in a matter of months. Professional rat control from EnviroGuard helps to remove these pests efficiently and prevents them from coming back.
Common Signs of a Rat Problem
If you suspect a rat infestation, there are several signs to look out for. Common signs include:
- Droppings – Rat droppings are usually small, dark, and pellet-shaped. You may find them in cupboards, under sinks, or near food storage areas.
- Gnaw Marks – Rats chew constantly, so you might find gnaw marks on baseboards, food packaging, or wiring.
- Scratching Noises – Rats are active at night, so you might hear scratching or scurrying sounds in the walls, ceilings, or attic.
- Nests – Rats build nests out of shredded materials like paper, cloth, and insulation. These nests are often hidden in dark areas, like behind appliances or inside walls.
- Unusual Smells – A strong, musty odor in a particular area can also indicate a rat infestation.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Rats reproduce quickly, so early detection and removal are essential.
EnviroGuard’s Rat Removal Process
EnviroGuard provides a thorough, step-by-step approach to rat control. First, we conduct an inspection of your property to identify where the rats are entering and where they may be nesting. By locating these entry points, we can create a customized removal plan for your home or business.
Once we identify the rat problem, our team uses humane and effective removal methods to eliminate the infestation. We focus on safe practices to ensure the health of everyone on the property. After removing the rats, we seal any entry points, making it harder for them to return. Additionally, we clean and sanitize affected areas to eliminate any bacteria or odors left behind.
Preventing Future Rat Infestations
After the initial removal, EnviroGuard offers prevention services to keep rats from coming back. We provide tips on how to keep your property less appealing to rats, such as proper food storage, regular cleaning, and inspecting for any potential entry points.
