Your Local Rat Exterminators

Rats and mice are a common pest problem in North Carolina. They are known for their ability to adapt and thrive in various environments. As an expert rat exterminator, Bug Out Pest Control is dedicated to providing effective rat control solutions to keep your home and business safe from these persistent rodents.

Common Rats in North Carolina

In North Carolina, the most common type of rat you might encounter is the Norway rat. Norway rats are larger than black rats and prefer ground-level nesting, typically burrowing in the soil and making their homes under buildings, in basements, and piles of debris. They can cause significant damage to structures and wiring, contaminate food sources, and pose serious health risks. Prompt rat control is essential to prevent the problems associated with an infestation.

Rats Pest Control Services

We offer comprehensive pest control services to address all aspects of a rat infestation. From detailed inspections to effective baiting and trapping methods, we ensure thorough rat removal and implement preventative measures to keep rats from returning.

Signs You May Have a Rat Infestation

Detecting a rat infestation early can prevent extensive damage and health risks. Here are some common signs to look out for:

Rat Droppings: Small, dark droppings in corners and along baseboards indicate active rat presence.
Gnaw Marks: Rats chew on food packaging, wires, and insulation. Look for fresh gnaw marks, which suggest recent activity.
Burrows and Nests: Rats create nests from shredded materials in secluded areas such as attics, basements, or behind appliances.
Noises in Walls and Attics: Scratching, scampering, or squeaking sounds, especially at night, may indicate rats moving and nesting within your property.
Unpleasant Odors: Rat urine can emit a musky or ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces where rats are active.

What Attracts Rats to Your Home or Business?

Rats are attracted to food, water, and shelter. Common factors that draw rats to your property include easily accessible food sources, such as pet food, improperly stored groceries, and food waste. Cluttered areas and unsealed entry points also provide ideal nesting sites for these pests.

Bug Out Reviews

Have used this pest control service for several years. Very rarely have an insect problem, but when I do, Bug Out comes immediately and addresses the issue! They have helped with ground wasps, pantry moths, sink flies, pantry moths, field mice, and roaches as needed over several years. As my regular ongoing service, they are also great. Highly recommend.

DIY Rat Prevention Tips

Securing Entry Points

Seal cracks, gaps, and holes in walls, foundations, and roofs using steel wool or caulk to prevent rats from entering your property.

Proper Sanitation Practices

Maintain a clean environment by storing food in sealed containers, promptly cleaning up spills, and disposing of garbage regularly. Reducing clutter also minimizes nesting opportunities.

Landscaping and Environmental Modifications

Trim tree branches and shrubs away from your building and keep your yard free of debris. This reduces hiding spots and limits rats’ access to your property.

DIY vs Professional Rat Control

While DIY methods can help prevent minor infestations, professional pest control is often necessary for severe or persistent rat problems. Bug Out Pest Control offers expertise, advanced tools, and effective results, making professional rat control a worthwhile investment for homes and businesses.
