🐀 Top 15 FAQs – Rat Trapping & Rat Control (Cumming Edition)

Q) What are the signs I might have a rat issue in my home?

A) Scratching in the attic, chewed wires, droppings, or torn insulation are strong indicators. You may also notice foul odors or activity near pet food or stored items.

Q) How long does a typical rat trapping job take?

A) Most infestations are resolved in one week with up to five visits. We check traps daily and adjust placements based on activity.

Q) Do you offer rat control in communities like Vickery Village or around Lake Lanier?

A) Yes. We regularly service residential homes, lake properties, and wooded lots throughout Cumming.

Q) Why do rats get into homes even when they’re clean?

A) Rats aren’t looking for filth—they’re looking for food, water, and shelter. Even well-kept homes are vulnerable if access points exist.

Q) What kinds of traps do you use?

A) We use professional-grade snap traps and live cage traps. Poisons are never used inside to avoid odor issues and dead animals in walls.

Q) Can I trap rats myself?

A) DIY methods often fail due to poor placement or human scent. If rats learn to avoid traps, it becomes harder to remove them later.

Q) What’s the difference between pest control and actual rat trapping?

A) Pest control companies may use bait boxes and check back monthly. We trap, remove, and then seal entry points to solve the issue permanently.

Q) Are rats active all year or only in colder seasons?

A) Rats are active year-round, but infestations spike in colder months when they seek indoor shelter.

Q) Do you inspect crawlspaces and garages too?

A) Yes. We inspect and trap in attics, crawlspaces, garages, and anywhere rats are active, even in tight or unusual spaces.

Q) What happens if I’m not home during the service window?

A) Many clients provide garage codes, lockbox access, or coordinate with a neighbor. We document all visits and leave detailed notes.

Q) Can rats damage my insulation or electrical wiring?

A) Absolutely. Rats often shred insulation for nesting and are notorious for chewing electrical wires, which can cause fire risks.

Q) How do you prevent rats from coming back once they’re gone?

A) Once trapping is complete, we seal up entry points using critter-proof materials. This exclusion is key to long-term protection.

Q) Do I need full attic restoration after rats?

A) Not always. We quote targeted latrine cleanups when needed. Full insulation replacement is only recommended in severe cases.

Q) Can you service rental or vacation homes in the Cumming area?

A) Yes, we handle both primary and secondary residences. Flexible access options are available for absentee homeowners.

Q) How do I know when the rat problem is fully resolved?

A) You’ll know the problem is resolved when all trap activity stops, no new signs are found, and the home is approved to be sealed. That’s when long-term protection begins.
