Rats Are Experts at Staying Hidden

If you have seen one rat, it is likely there are several more present. Rats prefer to stay out of sight, traveling through walls, attics, crawl spaces, and other concealed areas. Although they avoid human interaction, rats are known carriers of diseases and parasites, making their presence a critical concern.

After removal, it is important to identify and seal entry points to prevent future infestations. Professional rat cleanup also eliminates lingering odors that can attract additional rodents back to the property.

During the cleanup process, our team identifies nesting and sleeping areas—often indicated by chewed insulation or gathered bedding materials—as well as areas contaminated by urine and droppings. All affected materials are safely removed, disposed of, and the area is cleaned, disinfected, and dried before any insulation or materials are replaced.

Protect Your Property from Health Risks and Damage

Rats can spread harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that pose risks to your household or occupants. In addition to health concerns, rodents cause significant property damage by chewing through wood, insulation, and electrical wiring. Persistent odors from urine and droppings, and the unsettling sounds of rodents moving through walls are often signs of serious infestation.

To help prevent rats and other rodents from entering your property in Arlington, Montclair, Ashburn, Crystal City, Lake Ridge, VA, Foggy Bottom, D.C., and surrounding areas, regularly inspect your home’s exterior for small openings and seal them promptly.
