Understanding Rat Problems in Garland Homes
Garland’s established neighborhoods, older rooflines, and proximity to parks and creeks create ideal conditions for rats. Roof rats are the most common species we find, nesting in attics and wall cavities, while Norway rats typically burrow under foundations or outdoor structures.
Common Signs of a Rat Infestation
- Scratching, chewing, or scurrying noises at night
- Droppings in attics, garages, or along baseboards
- Grease marks or rub trails near walls or pipes
- Chewed wires, insulation, or stored items
- Strong musky odors in enclosed spaces
Rats are highly adaptable and can reproduce quickly — a single pair can multiply into dozens within a few months. That’s why prompt professional intervention is essential.
Our Rat Removal and Exclusion Process
We take a comprehensive approach that goes beyond temporary fixes, ensuring your home stays secure.
1) Free Inspection and Quote on the Spot
Our licensed technicians begin with a detailed inspection of your attic, crawlspace, and exterior. We identify signs of activity, locate entry points, and document all findings. You’ll receive a written quote during the same visit outlining the removal, exclusion, and cleanup steps.
2) Targeted Removal and Monitoring
While trapping is sometimes necessary, our focus is on rodent monitoring and prevention. We strategically install monitoring devices to detect and track activity while minimizing disruption. This method helps verify that exclusion work is effective and confirms when all activity has ceased.
3) Exclusion and Sealing
Once we’ve assessed entry points, we seal them using durable materials such as galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, and weather-resistant caulking. Common rat entry points include:
- Roofline and soffit gaps
- Dryer and attic vents
- Gable ends and roof intersections
- Plumbing and utility penetrations
All exclusion work is backed by a one-year renewable warranty, ensuring your investment stays protected.
4) Attic and Crawlspace Sanitation
After the home is secured, we clean and sanitize contaminated areas to remove droppings, urine, and odor-causing bacteria. This restores your home’s cleanliness and prevents lingering scent trails that could attract other rodents.
5) Long-Term Monitoring and Follow-Up
We provide optional rodent monitoring services to track ongoing activity. Technicians can recheck monitoring devices, inspect exclusion points, and verify that your home remains rodent-free over time. These visits are ideal for homes with ongoing exterior pressure or nearby wooded areas.
Why Professional Rat Removal Is Worth It
DIY products rarely solve rat infestations because they don’t address how rats get in or what keeps them there. Professional rat control delivers long-term peace of mind with:
- Expert identification of species and habits
- Thorough sealing and exclusion using correct materials
- Safe, compliant sanitation methods
- Proven results backed by warranty
Preferred Pest Management’s goal is simple: remove rats, repair the access, and restore your home’s comfort and safety.
Local Rat Activity in Garland
In fall and winter, rats seek warm nesting spots in attics, garages, and crawlspaces. Homes near Duck Creek, Spring Creek Forest Preserve, and Firewheel Town Center experience increased pressure as cooler nights drive rodents indoors. Even newer homes can develop vulnerabilities from gaps around rooflines or poorly sealed vents.
Our technicians are local experts who understand these seasonal patterns and know where rats typically enter in Garland’s residential structures.
