Behavior and habits
Cautious and smart, they travel established runs along walls and fences, often at night only.
Why rats are a problem
Rats gnaw structural wood, pipes, and wiring, and contaminate anything they cross.
How Antex handles rats
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Remove outdoor food sources, harvest fruit trees fully, and seal openings larger than a quarter.
