The Comfort, Convenience, and Confidence of a Pest-free Home
Remove Rats & Protect Your Home
Rats are one of the most destructive and dangerous pests to invade your home. They gnaw through insulation, wood, and electrical wiring — posing serious fire risks — and they carry diseases that can contaminate your food and air. Rat infestations grow quickly, especially when left untreated.
Catseye’s rat control service includes full-property inspections, expert trapping and baiting, and permanent exclusion of access points. We target attics, basements, crawl spaces, and wall voids — where rats are most active. Our team delivers long-term protection so your home stays secure year-round.
Inspection & Entry Point Detection
We identify rodent entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity like droppings, gnaw marks, and grease trails.
Trapping & Removal
We set tamper-proof traps and strategically place bait stations to remove rats or mice quickly and humanely.
Exclusion & Monitoring
We seal gaps, repair entry holes, and install exclusion barriers to keep rodents out. Ongoing checks ensure long-term success.

Stop Structural Damage & Disease Transmission
Rats can chew through almost any material — wood, wires, pipes — leading to serious damage and health hazards. They spread parasites and pathogens through droppings, urine, and fur. Catseye eliminates active infestations and ensures they can’t come back with proven exclusion and monitoring methods.
Keep Rats Out for Good
Our rat control services go beyond short-term solutions. We seal entry points using metal mesh, caulk, and durable exclusion materials. Catseye also installs bait stations and monitoring devices to ensure complete and lasting protection for your home.
Signs You May Have a Rodent Problem
Watch for these common indicators of rats or mice living in your home.
Droppings in Cabinets or Drawers
Small black or brown pellets in kitchen cabinets, drawers, or pantry shelves are a sure sign of mice or rats.
Scratching or Rustling Noises
Noises coming from walls, ceilings, or attic spaces — especially at night — often mean rodents are nesting nearby.
Gnaw Marks on Food Packaging
Chewed cereal boxes, bags, or pet food containers point to rodent foraging activity.
Grease Marks Along Baseboards
Rats and mice leave behind dark smudge marks from oils in their fur as they travel familiar routes.
Foul Odor or Urine Smell
A musky or ammonia-like smell can result from rodent urine in confined areas like attics or basements.
Pet Alert Behavior
Dogs or cats suddenly sniffing, pawing, or barking at walls may be detecting rodent movement inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I have rats instead of mice?
Rats are larger than mice, leave bigger droppings, and create louder scratching or gnawing noises. They also leave oily rub marks on walls and often cause more visible structural damage. Catseye technicians can identify the species and tailor a solution specific to rat behavior.
Are rats more dangerous than mice?
Yes. Rats can carry more aggressive diseases, cause greater structural damage, and are harder to trap. They are also more likely to enter sewer lines and contaminate water sources. Professional intervention is strongly recommended.
What types of rats do you remove?
Catseye removes roof rats, Norway rats, and wood rats. We tailor our trapping and exclusion techniques based on species, entry points, and activity areas.
How long does it take to eliminate a rat infestation?
It typically takes 1–2 weeks to trap and eliminate the colony depending on severity. Exclusion and monitoring are ongoing steps to prevent re-infestation.
Do you use poisons or chemicals?
We use tamper-resistant bait stations and mechanical traps for safety. All products are EPA-approved and placed in areas inaccessible to pets and children. We avoid using rodenticides inside the home unless absolutely necessary.
Can rats come back after removal?
Yes — unless entry points are sealed and food sources are eliminated. That’s why Catseye focuses on exclusion work and monitoring plans to stop rats from returning.
