🐀 Top 15 FAQs – Rat Trapping & Control in Dawsonville, GA

Q) What brings rats into homes around Dawsonville?

A) Gaps near the roofline, pet food left in garages, open crawlspace vents, or water access points can all lure rats into otherwise tidy homes.

Q) How long does it take to trap and remove rats?

A) Our standard trapping schedule runs one full week with up to five visits. This allows us to adjust trap placements based on real-time activity.

Q) Do you handle rat infestations in areas near Amicalola Falls or Gold Creek?

A) Yes, we routinely trap rats in mountain-adjacent neighborhoods, wooded properties, and near the water — all hotspots for rodent activity.

Q) Can rats chew wiring or damage insulation?

A) Definitely. Rats are notorious for chewing electrical lines (fire hazard), shredding insulation, and contaminating surfaces with droppings and urine.

Q) How do you know if a rat issue is fully resolved?

A) We monitor trap activity throughout the week. Once all signs of activity stop and the home is cleared, we approve it for sealing.

Q) Do rats use the same entry points every time?

A) Yes. Rats follow scent trails and habitually reuse paths, which is why finding and sealing every entry point is critical to stopping the cycle.

Q) Can you trap rats in crawlspaces or detached garages?

A) Absolutely. We trap wherever there is evidence of activity — crawlspaces, attics, garages, even under porches and sheds if needed.

Q) What kind of traps do you use?

A) We use pro-grade kill traps and live cages depending on setup. We never use poison indoors to avoid odor and dead animals in walls.

Q) Are glue traps effective for rats?

A) Not really. Rats are usually too strong and cautious for glue traps. Snap traps and cages are far more successful for removing them.

Q) What should I expect on the initial visit?

A) We inspect the attic, crawlspace, and exterior for entry points, droppings, and nesting signs, then build a custom plan for trapping and exclusion.

Q) Is cleanup needed after rats are removed?

A) Only in living spaces. If rats were in your attic, cleanup is usually not needed — attic heat helps kill pathogens and rats aren’t as latrine-heavy as raccoons or flyers.

Q) Do you recommend using bait stations or poison outside?

A) Bait stations can help with exterior rodent pressure, but they’re not a replacement for interior trapping and sealing. We never use them indoors.

Q) Can you trap rats even if I’m not home?

A) Yes. Many of our Dawsonville clients provide garage codes, lockbox access, or coordinate with neighbors. We send visit logs and updates after each stop.

Q) Do you offer exclusion services after trapping?

A) Yes. Once the rats are gone, we seal up every accessible entry point using critter-proof materials and hardware, designed to keep them out for good.

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

A) Pest control often relies on bait or poison and checks back monthly. We focus on removal through trapping — and sealing the structure permanently.
