Imperial Pest Control offers rat prevention, removal, and monitoring services to keep your home rodent-free. We use proven methods to block entry points and stop infestations. Simple, effective, and reliable protection.
Homeowners need rat protection year-round because rats are active in all seasons, constantly searching for food and shelter. Sewer and roof rats are common types that invade homes, each with different habits. Sewer rats usually come up through drains and basements, while roof rats prefer higher places like attics and roofs. Both types can cause damage by chewing wires, insulation, and wood. They also carry diseases that can affect people and pets. Without ongoing protection, rats can quickly multiply and become a serious problem.
Rats don’t just appear seasonally; they adapt to weather changes and can live inside walls or underground. Sewer rats stay near water sources, making basements and crawl spaces vulnerable. Roof rats, conversely, can enter through small openings and often nest in trees or roof spaces. Since these rats are always looking for ways into homes, regular inspections and treatments are necessary to keep them out. Year-round rat protection helps stop infestations early, preventing costly damage and health risks for your family. Imperial Pest Control offers expert year-round rat protection services to keep your home safe. Our team uses effective methods to prevent, remove, and monitor rat activity for lasting results.
Rats in your home, including sewer and roof rats, pose serious health risks to your family. These rodents carry harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella. Their droppings and urine can contaminate food and surfaces, leading to infections and allergic reactions. Roof rats often nest in attic spaces, increasing the risk of airborne contaminants inside the home. Sewer rats from underground drains can bring additional pathogens into living areas. Imperial Pest Control helps protect your home by effectively removing these rats and reducing the health hazards they cause.

If you’re concerned about rats in your home, you likely have many questions about how to protect your property and family. Here are some common questions about rat protection and how Imperial Pest Control can help. These answers provide clear information to guide you in making the right decisions.
Sewer rats are larger, heavier rodents that prefer ground-level or underground environments, often entering homes through sewer lines and drains. Roof rats are smaller, excellent climbers that tend to nest in upper parts of buildings, such as attics or roof spaces, using trees and wires to gain access. Both require different control approaches due to their habits.
