Where they live
Roof rats, also called black rats, nest in attics, palm trees, block walls, garages, sheds and rooflines.
How we treat
Removal
Humane, targeted removal designed to take out the whole population, safe for pets and children.
Entry-point sealing
Roofline gaps, vents and screens, utility penetrations, garage gaps, block-wall openings and attic access. Exclusion is the most important step for long-term protection.
Prevention
Seasonal monitoring, trimming back trees from the roof, and fruit tree management.
