Signs You May Need Rat Control

  • Large droppings: Dark, capsule-shaped droppings noticeably larger than mouse droppings.
  • Burrows: Smooth-sided holes near foundations, sheds, woodpiles, or dense landscaping.
  • Grease marks: Dark smudges along baseboards or wall corners where rats travel repeatedly.
  • Heavy gnawing: Larger gnaw marks on wood, plastic piping, or stored materials in garages and basements.

Could It Be Something Other Than a Rodent?

Noises overhead during the day, or thumping that sounds heavier than a mouse, often turn out to be squirrels or raccoons, which need a wildlife provider rather than rodent treatment — see wildlife removal. Rodents around a home can also draw snakes looking for food; if you have seen one, see snake removal.

Why This Is Common in Homes

Mix of urban alleys, older housing stock, and suburban yards with sheds and woodpiles gives rats plenty of shelter and food sources. Rat activity tends to concentrate near garages, basements, and exterior structures, which is why a local inspection matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get connected with a rat control professional in my area?
Call 1-800-895-9876 and our dispatch network will connect you with an available local professional based on your location and technician availability.
Are rats more difficult to remove than mice?
Rats are more cautious and their colonies can be harder to access; a local professional can recommend the right approach after inspecting the property.
Should I try to seal burrows myself?
It is best to have a local professional assess active burrows first, since improper sealing can trap rats inside structures.
