Appearance - Rats have red eyes, black or white fur, and shrieks. They are typically 6-10 inches long (depending on the type) with a hairless tail. Brown rats (also known as Norway rats) are slightly larger than roof rats, with a thicker body, smaller eyes, and a shorter snout than their black rat cousins.
Behavior - Rats tend to be bigger than mice or other rodents, often found in basements, garages, outside near garbage disposals and even scurrying around your home. They are nocturnal. Rats can fit into holes that are ½ inch or even smaller, so having any open holes or gaps in your home may be a way that rats are getting in. Rat droppings are pellet-like in appearance.They are dark colored and about ¾ inch long.
Rats, like any other species, need a place to live and breed. Homes, garages, and apartments provide the perfect location for rats to keep safe and be able to eat, sleep and reproduce without disruption.
Holes in your foundation or walls that lead from a basement or outside are an opportunistic entrance for rats to find their new accommodations within your El Mirage, AZ residence. Being able to fit in ½ inch or less spaces gives rats a leg up in entering your home, even if you have tried to fill in obvious holes and gaps in your walls and foundation.
Having rats does not mean you live in unhealthy conditions, but having food sources accessible could entice a rat to enter and begin living in your home. Professional rat control is recommended before one rat turns into a full blown rat infestation.
Rats tend to scrounge through garbage for food, and this causes them to be carriers of many different bacteria and diseases. They also are known for being traditional carriers of fleas and ticks due to the conditions they tend to live in. Flea bites from rats can cause extreme allergic reactions and ticks can carry Lymes disease.
Beyond topical threats, the bacteria carried on rats can cause leptospirosis, which can affect the liver and kidneys, and salmonellosis, which produces cramping and diarrhea.
These threats and the rat droppings they will leave behind could cause you and your family to become very sick if a rat infestation is left untreated.
Great company! Helpful and knowledgeable. They are also very accommodating as well.
I had pests in another home and I'm pretty afraid of them. I wanted peace of mind so I reached out to Western Exterminator Company. The rep inspected and said I didn't have a pest problem. He was great, and even gave me pointers on prevention. I've recommended Western Exterminator Company to other people already.
Great work from the technicians. Quick and efficient work.
We've been with them for over a year now. They've taken care of the ant problem inside and outside of the house.
My encounter with the technician was great! I was accommodated for the day though he was almost booked up. The service was very satisfactory, and I will definitely stick to this company for pest elimination services!
Our rep had a very pleasing personality and walked us through the treatment in great detail. She even found a nest of baby birds and was very careful not to treat around them. I'm just grateful she did our home.
I have Western Exterminator Company come out bi-monthly. And every time, their reps are always polite, professional, and do an excellent job.
The reps are highly proficient, very meticulous, and explain every step of the process in painstaking detail. Highly recommended!
In the three years that we've used Western Exterminator Company, their reps have always been responsive, informative, and thorough. So very happy with their service and will continue to use them for all my pest control needs.
