Rat Exterminator
Movies make it seem like rats can create culinary magic in the kitchen or serve as a supportive fashion squad to help us dress for a party. However, the reality is that rats and mice pose significant threats to human and pet health and to property. Instead of trying to tell the difference between mice and rats before taking action to address the problem they present, call your local Eliminate 'Em team today, and let us handle the pest identification process and the rat removal or mice extermination plan.

Do You Need a Rat Extermination Team?
Rodent problems aren't limited to a single location. From rural homesteads to city dwellings, a food source, available water, and warm shelter are all that these critters need to take up residence with you. Sometimes, a single mouse or rat around the property doesn't raise an alarm for property owners, but it should. Even if the animal is deceased, this single sighting is only one indication of a larger problem. The following signs also point to rat and mice infestations:
- Scratching or high-pitched squeaking
- Sounds of scampering in the walls, attic, or basement
- Droppings in the kitchen, pantry, or nesting areas
- Tracks left in dusty areas
- Dirt or grease marks on the walls or floors
- Holes on furniture or walls
- Chewed material like fabric, paper material, or even wiring
- Unusually opened food packages or gnawed food boxes
- Musky odor of fecal matter or urine
Have you encountered any of these issues at your residential, commercial, or industrial property? Take action now to address the problem and prevent future damage. The Eliminate 'Em mice extermination and rat control experts are available 24/7 and can even provide same day service. By request, we can also service your location in unmarked vans.
