Professional rat control delivers heavy-gauge architectural exclusion, heavy-duty mechanical trapping, and perimeter burrow remediation. Certified technicians eliminate Norway and roof rats while preventing structural property damage. Service costs average $250 to $1,000 with 12-month exclusion warranties.
