Rodent Prevention

About the service

Rats are destructive rodents that can cause serious problems inside homes and businesses. They are highly adaptable and reproduce quickly, making professional treatment essential. At Reif Environmental, we provide kid- and pet-friendly rat control solutions that remove rats safely and help prevent future infestations.

Why rats are a problem

Rats contaminate food, spread bacteria, and can carry diseases. They chew through insulation, wiring, and building materials, creating fire hazards and costly damage. Rats are also known for nesting in walls, attics, garages, and crawl spaces, often staying hidden while the infestation grows.

Common rats we treat

• Norway rats
• Roof rats

Proper identification is key to effective control and long-term prevention.

Safe, effective rat control

DIY traps and poisons often fail to fully resolve rat infestations and can pose risks to children and pets. Our professional rat control focuses on inspection, exclusion, and family-safe treatment methods designed to eliminate rats while protecting your household.

Pricing

Rodent service is available on its own starting at $50/month, or combined with quarterly pest control in our Premium plan starting at $60/month.

What's included?

A full evaluation and inspection of your property for rodents. Our team inspects for possible entry points and signs of conditions that attract rodent activity. Once activity is verified and properly identified, we give our expert recommendations for your property, then seal entry points, set traps, and monitor activity.
