Roof Rat Removal Service Inquiries
Scratching sounds in the attic, droppings, gnaw marks, or activity around the roofline may be signs of roof rats. These agile rodents often travel along fences, branches, and utility lines and may enter through gaps near vents, soffits, and roof edges. ProGuard Pest Protection can help homeowners evaluate suspected activity and discuss a removal and exclusion plan that fits the property.

Why Timely Roof Rat Control Matters
Roof rats can damage materials through gnawing and may contaminate attic spaces with droppings and urine. Addressing the animals without considering how they entered can lead to recurring problems. A property-specific plan helps determine what should be treated, repaired, or monitored; exact services and pricing are confirmed by ProGuard.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do roof rats get into an attic? Roof rats may use openings near vents, soffits, roof intersections, or utility penetrations. An inspection can help identify likely access points.
Is trapping alone enough to keep roof rats away? Not always. A complete plan may also call for sealing appropriate entry points, reducing attractants, and checking for continued activity. Openings should not be sealed until any active animals have been addressed.
Will attic insulation need to be replaced? Only an inspection can determine whether insulation is affected. ProGuard can discuss whether its separate insulation replacement service is appropriate.
