Rat Removal in Brampton
The Ideal Approach to Rat Removal in Brampton
At Icon Pest, we believe the ideal approach to rat removal in Brampton is with traps strategically placed throughout your home, business, or area of infestation. All possible entry points will also need to be assessed and properly sealed in order to prevent re-infestation.
We value humane and eco-friendly treatment options for rat removal and do not recommend the use of poisons. Over time, the rats will ingest this poison and then die in areas you don’t see. This will eventually cause a foul smell in your home and possible staining, turning one problem into another.
Common Signs of Need for Rat Removal in Brampton
It’s important to know when to call Icon Pest for rat removal in Brampton. When in doubt, give us a call, but there are some signs you can look for:
- Scratching or scampering sounds
It’s likely that the first sign you’ll notice is a sound. Rats are not quiet animals. Their claws make scratching noises and you’ll often hear the pitter patter of their feet scurrying around in your walls, ceilings, floors or in your cabinets, especially at night. - Ammonia-Like Smell
Rat urine has a distinct smell. It is often described as smelling like ammonia and is a pretty sure sign that you have an infestation, as the more rats, the more urine. - Droppings
Rats tend to follow the same paths, leaving feces along the way. These droppings look like dark grains of rice and can be found anywhere they are traveling but you’ll often notice them in your kitchen first. - Home damage
While looking for food and building their nests, rats will gnaw on a variety of materials in your home like papers, furniture, carpet, boxes, plastic items, just to name a few. But also be on the lookout for more extensive damage like chewed wiring, drywall, ceilings or other structural damage.
If you do notice any of these common signs of rats, call Icon Pest to inspect your home or business and offer effective treatment options for rat removal in Brampton.
