Rats! You’ve Got A Rodent Problem
Got rats? You’re not alone—and tackling a rat infestation on your own can be more trouble than it’s worth. These sneaky pests reproduce quickly and hide in the toughest spots, like wall voids and crawl spaces. DIY methods like traps or poisons might seem like a quick fix, but they rarely solve the problem for good. That’s where professional pest control comes in. With the right tools, expertise, and strategies, they can locate nests, eliminate rats effectively, and ensure the process is safe, humane, and compliant with local regulations—keeping your home and health protected.

Spot The Rats
Think you might have a rat problem? Rats leave behind plenty of clues if you know what to look for. Watch out for gnaw marks on furniture, walls, or wires, greasy smudge trails along baseboards, or droppings in hidden spots like cabinets, attics, or storage rooms. Hear scratching noises at night? That’s another red flag, as rats are most active after dark. In commercial spaces like restaurants or warehouses, damaged food packaging is a common sign. Spotting these warning signs early can save you from bigger problems down the line.
The office & technical staff are exceptional at customer service/communication.

Our Prompt Process
Rats Require Action
Ignoring a rat infestation can lead to serious consequences for your property and health. Rats are known carriers of numerous diseases, including leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus, which can spread through their droppings, urine, and contaminated surfaces. Additionally, their gnawing habits can cause extensive structural damage, potentially leading to fires if electrical wiring is involved. For businesses, untreated infestations can harm reputation, incur health code violations, and result in costly repairs. The longer a rat problem persists, the more severe and widespread the infestation can become, underscoring the importance of prompt and professional intervention.

Brant is one of the best out there! He has successfully rodent-proofed two of our homes and after years there has been no reoccurrence. He also has done a great job with getting rid of a yellow jacket nest and Asian beetle attacks in the fall. Definitely get this guy if you can!

We’ve worked with Prompt Action Pest Control for many years. They have serviced our home and our cabin so well. We can always count on them to take care of any issues. We recently had an uptick in mouse activity at our house. Dillon was so thorough in finding the source of the problem, doing what needed to be done to resolve it, and was super friendly as well.

Prompt Action Pest Control lives up to their name - PROMPT ACTION! The service tech, Brandon, was on time and explained what was needed to solve our bug issue without sounding like a salesperson and pushing add-ons. Brandon was thorough in his applications and explained the process beautifully. I would highly recommend this company. So glad I found them, after our current pest control was unwilling to help.

Very thorough, friendly and professional. We had a mouse problem and prompt action pest control were able to get our house back in check. I love the bi monthly management program and feel at ease with keeping the wildlife outside and us inside. Thanks for great service.

The office & technical staff are exceptional at customer service/communication. The project took a little longer than expected, kept fully informed and did not charge me more because it taking a bit longer. This was particularly true with additional services not initially agreed to. Brant found an entry in the attic vent where birds were gaining access. He corrected that, too.

We recently moved to a home that had a previous history of mice, bats, squirrels and ants. Brant came out the first week we moved in and did a thorough inspection to make sure the pests were gone. He was punctual, courteous, very knowledgeable, and took the time to educate us on behaviors of the pests and how best to look for future evidence. We have scheduled this business to come for routine inspections to ensure the pests stay out. Very pleased customers!
