Rat Removal in the Bay Area
We locate active rats, remove them safely and confirm the problem is gone.
About Rat Removal
Roof rats and Norway rats are common across the Bay Area. They nest in attics, walls and crawl spaces, chew wiring and contaminate insulation. Removing the rats is only half the job — we also find and close the gaps they use, so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Signs you need rat removal
- Scratching or running noises in the attic or walls, especially at night
- Droppings in the attic, garage, under sinks or along walls
- Gnawed wires, boxes, pipes or food packaging
- Grease marks along beams, pipes and entry holes
- Pets suddenly fixated on a wall or ceiling

Questions
Rat Removal FAQs
How long does rat removal take?
Most homes need an initial visit plus follow-up visits over one to two weeks to confirm all activity has stopped. Your inspection report includes a timeline for your home.
Will rats come back after removal?
Not if the entry points are sealed. That's why every RATVEX job includes exclusion work, not just removal.
Do I need to leave my home?
No. Removal and exclusion work is done without you needing to leave.
