We Help You Deal With Rat Problems Today!
Finding rats inside or around your property is something you want addressed quickly. Scratching behind walls, droppings in the basement, gnawed materials, disturbed food or recurring activity around a garage can all point to an active rat infestation.
Icon Pest provides professional rat removal and rat control services throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
We start by inspecting the property to determine where rats are active, how they may be getting inside and which conditions are allowing the infestation to continue.
Rat control is not simply a matter of placing a few traps. Effective treatment requires identifying activity areas, installing professional rodent control devices where they will be effective and addressing accessible entry points that could allow new rats into the building.
Whether you have noticed one rat or signs of a larger rodent problem, our technicians can assess the situation and recommend the appropriate treatment and prevention plan.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Icon Pest backs its rat control services with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Depending on the package, follow-up visits and warranty coverage may also be included.

How We Target Rat Activity
Boxelder bug activity is highly seasonal.
Effective rat control focuses on where rats are active, how they enter the property, and the conditions allowing the infestation to continue.
Activity-Based Placement
We locate droppings, gnaw marks, rub marks, travel routes and nesting areas to guide equipment placement.
Interior & Exterior Control
Our technicians determine whether the infestation requires indoor treatment, an exterior program or both.
Entry-Point Prevention
We identify accessible openings. Minor sealing may be included in applicable packages; larger structural repairs are quoted separately.
Hearing Rats in the Walls or Seeing Droppings?
Fresh droppings, gnawing or repeated noises behind walls can signal an active rodent problem. Arrange an inspection rather than relying only on traps placed at random.
When to Consider Professional Rat Treatment
Consider professional rat control if you notice:
Rat Droppings
Dark droppings appear in basements, garages, cupboards or along sheltered routes.
Scratching or Movement
Repeated noises come from walls, ceilings or other concealed spaces, especially at night.
Gnawed Materials
Food packaging, insulation, wood or other materials show tooth marks or damage.
Burrows or Exterior Tracks
Holes near foundations, runways along walls or disturbed soil suggest outdoor activity.
Grease Marks and Odours
Dark rub marks along routes or persistent unpleasant smells appear in sheltered areas.
Recurring Rat Sightings
Rats return after individual animals have been trapped, or activity spreads to new locations.
Professional Rat Removal — Done Right
A rat exterminator should look beyond the animal seen during the inspection. Rats may move through garages, crawl spaces, basements, wall voids and exterior shelter areas. The useful question is where they enter, feed and travel.
Icon Pest begins with an assessment and uses professional lethal trapping and rodent control devices suited to the conditions found. Rats are pest rodents; unlike raccoons and other wildlife, they are not relocated.
Where appropriate, the plan may include tamper-resistant bait stations, interior or exterior treatment and follow-up monitoring. We also identify accessible entry points and distinguish minor sealing from more extensive exclusion repairs.
The aim is to control the active infestation and reduce the conditions that support further rat activity.
How to Help Prevent Rats Around Your Home
Rat prevention works best when accessible food, water, shelter and structural openings are addressed together. Check the following areas:
Check common entry areas around:
- Garbage bins and food waste left accessible
- Pet food or birdseed stored in open containers
- Spilled food in kitchens, garages and storage rooms
- Clutter and sheltered nesting spaces near the building
- Gaps around doors, garage thresholds and foundations
- Openings around pipes, vents and utility lines
- Water leaks and other easy moisture sources
- Vegetation or stored materials pressed against exterior walls

Our Rat Removal Process
Here is how Icon Pest approaches professional rat control across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
Step 1
Estimate
Contact Icon Pest and tell us what you have been seeing or hearing.
We can arrange an inspection and determine which rat control service is appropriate for your property.
The $85 inspection fee is waived when you proceed with applicable service.
Step 2
Inspection
Our technician inspects the interior and exterior of the property for rat activity.
We look for droppings, gnawing, travel routes, nesting areas, possible entry points, exterior activity, structural deficiencies and conditions that may support the infestation.
The inspection allows us to determine where treatment should be concentrated.
Step 3
Treatment & Control
Professional rodent control devices are installed in strategic locations based on the activity found.
Depending on the situation and service package, treatment may involve lethal trapping, professional rodent control devices, tamper-resistant bait stations, interior treatment, exterior bait stations and minor entry-point sealing.
Unlike wildlife removal, rats are not relocated.
Step 4
Follow-Up & Prevention
Follow-up service depends on the package selected.
During applicable return visits, our technicians monitor activity, service rodent control equipment and determine whether further treatment is required.
We can also identify structural conditions that should be repaired or sealed to reduce the risk of future rodent entry.

Different Rat Problems Need Different Solutions
Rat control depends on where the animals are active and which conditions are sustaining them. An indoor infestation may need a different response from repeated activity around the building exterior.
Indoor Rat Infestation
Rats may hide in basements, wall cavities, garages or other protected spaces. Treatment focuses on confirmed activity routes and accessible entry points.
Exterior Rat Pressure
Burrows, outdoor food and shelter may keep rats close to foundations or service openings. Outdoor bait-station monitoring may be appropriate.
Commercial Rodent Control
Food-handling, storage and multi-tenant environments benefit from site-specific inspections, access management, sanitation guidance and documented monitoring options.
Rat Control for Homes & Businesses in Toronto & the GTA
Rats can damage materials, contaminate stored food and continue entering through untreated openings. Icon Pest provides inspection-based rat extermination, interior and exterior control, follow-up options and prevention guidance.
Rat Removal Cost
The cost of professional rat removal can vary based on the property, level of rat activity and areas requiring treatment.
