If you’ve ever seen a rat scurry across your yard or, worse, inside your home, you know just how unsettling it can be. Rats are more than just unwelcome guests; they bring health risks, damage property, and multiply quickly. In Southern California, where the climate provides an ideal environment for rats to thrive, professional rat removal is essential. Frazier Pest Control offers expert rat removal services that not only eliminate these pesky invaders but also prevent future infestations.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Rat Problem

Rats can cause a host of issues for homeowners, from spreading diseases to chewing on wiring and woodwork. Ignoring a rat problem isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. Rats are known carriers of harmful diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus. Learn more about these diseases from trusted health sources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Moreover, rats tend to gnaw on virtually anything, including electrical wires, which could lead to significant fire hazards. If left unchecked, a small rat problem can quickly become a full-blown infestation.

Understanding Rat Behavior

Rats are nocturnal creatures with a knack for finding food and shelter in human environments. According to our Rat Facts page, rats can squeeze through incredibly small gaps—sometimes as small as half an inch—to gain access to homes. They breed quickly, which makes acting fast all the more important. The longer you wait, the bigger the colony becomes and the harder they are to remove.
