Learn About Rat Control âFrequently Asked Questions
How long does rat control take?
Initial treatment takes 1-2 hours. Complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on infestation size.
Is the bait dangerous to pets?
Professional bait stations are tamper-resistant and placed where pets can't access them. Always inform your technician about pets.
Why do I need follow-up visits?
Follow-ups ensure all rodents are eliminated, replenish bait stations, and check for new activity. Usually 2-3 visits over 4-6 weeks.
Should I seal entry points?
Yes! Entry point sealing prevents re-infestation and is highly recommended as part of a complete rodent control program.
