Rats can easily fit into any hole the size of a quarter due to their collapsible body structure.  In order to prevent this we close off  all holes of this size or larger

In addition, we do not consider rat poison a desirable option especially during indoor treatment.  Instead, more effective rat traps are used in order to reduce hidden dead carcasses indoors.  All rats are removed sanitarily and easily from the structure.  Further  rat activity is prevented by our sealing of all rat-size openings into the house.

A-All considers this form of treatment the safest and most effective way to deal with rats offering up to 12 month guarantees and  reinspection of the property whenever it is needed.  

Rodent Control

Rats have the potential to be a menace to just about any human structure due to their physical characteristics and behaviours.  They thrive in almost any environment and although one rarely sees a rat due to there nocturnal disposition, they can have a huge impact on humans.  

Rats are infamous for spreading the black plague to humans.  Fleas would bite rats infected with the disease and then bite a human in the vicinity.  The result was a notorious epidemic that killed millions across multiple continents.  

While today this particular disease is well controlled within the United States, the process by which rats can cause disease is still rampant.  It is therefore no surprise why one would not want such potentially risky pests on their premises.

Basic Rat Information

Management Practices

Other negative effects rats have on our quality of life include their habit of nighttime activity which usually creates irritating, scratching and chewing noises when many people are attempting to sleep.

Outside Rat Population

Once inside treatments have accomplished the goal of rat proofing the home, reduction of the exterior rodent populations can be achieved using child and pet proof rodent stations containing either rodenticides or more environmentally friendly exterior snap traps.  A-All has experienced success by monitoring these stations monthly or even more frequently to solve your outside problems.

With many years of experience of outside rodent control we have found that monthly monitoring  of  stations cannot be avoided.  Rats and mice reach sexual reproduction  age within 30 days and if your are not maintaining stations monthly you will never win the battle.  Let  A-All help you reduce your yard populations and therefore reduce the rat pressure to enter your structure.

Structural Modification

They also constantly gnaw on any surface they come in contact with, causing extensive damage.  They  break into and steal stored food, excrete within peoples homes and occasionally attack birds, pets or children.
