What Makes Richardson Rat Problems Different

Richardson’s mix of older rooflines and newer builds creates two distinct pressure patterns.

• Tree grid pressure in Canyon Creek and Richardson Heights: vines and oak limbs touch soffits, roof returns open a half inch, and utility penetrations shift over time. Roof rats dominate here.
• Dumpster and easement pressure near CityLine, UT Dallas, and the Eisemann Center: overnight deliveries and shared trash areas give Norway rats steady calories. They burrow along irrigated borders, under HVAC pads, and at fence lines.

Season matters. After early fall storms, roof rats push high and dry, then drop into warmer attics as nights cool. Spring landscaping boosts ground cover and fresh burrows appear along foundation beds. Our program is timed to those swings.

Our Richardson Rat Program, Built Around Seal First, Remove Fast

Instead of a one size plan, we map your exact pressure and build a job around it.

1) Free Evidence Map

• Attic, garage, and exterior walk, including roof returns, gable vents, utility lines, and fence runs
• Species confirmation based on droppings, runways, rub marks, and entry height
• Photo log and a written scope that separates exclusion, population knockdown, and outside pressure control

2) Roofline and Ground Sealing That Holds

• Hardware cloth and metal flashing at returns and soffit junctions
• Screens on gable and turtle vents that keep airflow while blocking entry
• Copper or stainless mesh at utility penetrations, sealed with rodent proof elastomerics
• Tight door sweeps at garages and exterior doors
• Weep hole covers where needed without blocking drainage

3) Trapping That Targets Routes, Not Open Floors

• Snap traps and multi catch devices on confirmed travel lanes inside attics, utility chases, and garages
• Devices placed inside locked housings or protected locations, then tuned to current feeding
• No loose rodenticides inside living areas

4) Exterior Pressure Reduction

• Locked, tamper resistant stations along fence lines, easements, or dumpster paths when appropriate
• Placement density adjusted to site, more frequent around shared trash areas or active burrow zones
• Sanitation notes that matter, lid fit, recycling rinse, bird seed storage, and pet feeding habits

5) Fast Follow Ups

• Timed revisit for captures and seal checks
• Route notes kept on your account so if winds tear fascia or contractors open a gap later, we already know your home’s weak points

Mini Case Study, Richardson Heights

A duplex near Belt Line had nightly attic noises and grease marks along a utility line. We sealed a quarter inch return gap with flashing, screened two turtle vents, set eight protected traps on rafters, and placed three exterior stations along a shared alley. Captures ended by visit two, and six week checks showed zero activity. The alley stations stayed to suppress outside pressure shared by the block.

What You Can Do This Week

• Trim tree limbs back from the roof and thin ivy that reaches eaves
• Store pet food and bird seed in sealed bins, and feed outdoors only during supervised times
• Keep a six inch gap between thick groundcover and the slab
• Close the garage at night and replace worn door bottoms that let light show through
• Photograph any droppings or gnawing you find, then leave it in place so we can read the signs

• Safety: placements are protected from kids and pets, and products follow label and state rules

• Proof: reports and photos document exactly what was done and what changed
