🐀 Top 15 Rat Trapping & Rat Control FAQs – Big Canoe, GA

A) Yes, we provide humane and highly effective rat trapping throughout the Big Canoe community, including cabins, lakefront properties, short-term rentals, and full-time residences.

Q) How long does the rat trapping process take?

A) Our trapping program typically runs for one week with up to five visits. We check and adjust traps daily to ensure all rodents are removed before sealing.

Q) Can you trap rats in vacation homes or seasonal cabins?

A) Absolutely. We work with both full-time and part-time homeowners. We can also coordinate with property managers for access to vacant homes if needed.

Q) What kind of traps do you use for rats?

A) We use a mix of professional-grade instant-kill traps and live cage traps depending on the setup. No poisons are used inside homes or attics.

Q) Is attic restoration always necessary after rats are removed?

A) Not always. If we find isolated contamination or latrines, we’ll quote a targeted cleanup. Full insulation replacement is only recommended when damage is extensive.

Q) Can rats be trapped without using poison?

A) Yes. Our trapping programs are poison-free unless outdoor rodent population control is necessary. Poison is never used inside structures to avoid odor and dead animal issues.

Q) What should I expect during the inspection?

A) We inspect the attic, crawlspace, and exterior of the home for droppings, damage, nesting signs, and entry points. From there, we create a tailored trapping and exclusion plan.

Q) How do you prevent rats from coming back?

A) Once trapping is complete, we offer professional exclusion services using critter-proof materials to seal up all entry points and prevent future infestations.

Q) Can rats return after trapping if the home isn’t sealed?

A) Yes. Trapping alone won’t keep them out. If entry points are not properly sealed, new rats can move in even after the current ones are gone.

Q) Do you work with HOA guidelines inside Big Canoe?

A) Yes. We’re familiar with community rules and work discreetly while following access and signage restrictions in Big Canoe neighborhoods.

Q) What makes your rat trapping service different from general pest control?

Q) Do you service crawlspaces as well as attics?

A) Yes. We inspect and trap in crawlspaces and seal off access points like vents, gaps around plumbing, and foundation voids.

Q) What if I can’t be home during normal service hours?

A) No problem. Many homeowners provide lockbox access, garage codes, or coordinate with a neighbor. We keep you updated and document each visit.

Q) How much does rat trapping and exclusion typically cost?

A) Cost depends on the size of the home, severity of the infestation, and amount of sealing required. Most trapping jobs fall within a standard range, and we provide clear up-front pricing.

Q) Can you locate and remove a dead animal in the attic or wall?

A) Yes. We use advanced tools like infrared cameras to help locate decomposing animals in walls, attics, or ceilings. If accessible, we cut into the surface, remove the carcass, and sanitize and deodorize the area.
