Rat Control in Georgia

 

How to Get Rid of Rats -- for Good

Unlike most Georgia rat exterminators, at Rid-A-Critter we emphasize non-chemical rat control. Consistent with our Integrated Pest Management philosophy, we emphasize rat trapping, habitat modification, and rodent exclusion ("rat-proofing") to keep rodents out of your home or business, so "new" rats don't move in to replace the rats we catch and remove.

In addition to being "green," environmentally-friendly, non-chemical rodent extermination emphasizing rat-proofing has many practical benefits:

Rat exclusion and trapping avoid all of these problems and provide the most effective, long-term rat control. Trapped rats don't wander off to die inside walls and structural voids and stink up your house for months. Instead, they can be promptly removed from your home before they start to decompose and stink.

 

When is Rodenticide Use Justified?

There are some rat control situations in which the selective and judicious use of rodenticides (rat poisons) makes sense. But even in these situations, non-chemical control should be the primary rat control method, and rodenticides used only as needed. Some situations in which rodenticide use is justified include:

 

Common Commensal Rodents of Atlanta and North-Central Georgia

There are three species of commensal rodents common in Atlanta and elsewhere in Georgia: The roof rat (Rattus rattus), the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), and the house mouse (Mus musculus). We provide mouse control through our pest control division.

Roof rats are aerialists. They're commonly are found in attics and ceilings and are common throughout Georgia, especially in rural and suburban areas. Norway rats are burrowers and tend to stay close to the ground (although they can climb and swim quite well if necessary). Norway rats can be found throughout Georgia, but most of our Norway rat control jobs are in densely-populated cities like Atlanta, Athens, Macon, Columbus, Peachtree City, Roswell, and Sandy Springs.
