At Southern Wildlife Management, we specialize in fast, effective Marietta Rat Trapping services backed by over 15 years of field experience. Rats in your attic, walls, or crawlspace aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a major threat to your home and health. These rodents chew through wires, insulation, and wood framing, increasing the risk of fire and structural damage. Even worse, they carry serious diseases like Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, and Salmonella that can affect your family or pets.

We serve homeowners across Marietta, including neighborhoods like Indian Hills, East Cobb, Whitlock Heights, Windsor Oaks, and Laurel Springs. Our licensed trapping team uses targeted removal strategies and permanent rodent-proofing to eliminate infestations and seal your home against future entry. Whether you need immediate help or long-term prevention, we deliver results you can rely on.

🐀 Top 15 Rat Trapping & Control FAQs – Marietta Edition

Q) Why do so many Marietta homes experience recurring rat problems?

A) Older construction, wooded lots, and access to crawlspaces make many Marietta homes ideal for rodents. Entry points often exist around eaves, soffits, and utility lines.

Q) How long does a professional rat trapping program take?

A) Our trapping programs typically take one full week and include up to five service visits. We monitor and adjust as needed based on activity.

Q) What’s the difference between rat sounds and other attic noises?

A) Rats are usually most active late at night. Their movement sounds like quick shuffling or scratching along joists, especially near walls and insulation.

Q) Can rat activity spike during construction or home renovations?

A) Definitely. Construction can disturb burrows or nearby shelter, forcing rodents to relocate. Vibrations or exposed openings may invite them inside.

Q) What traps do you use to catch rats?

A) We use industrial-strength snap traps and cages, placed strategically in attics, crawlspaces, garages, and utility spaces. Poisons are never used indoors.

Q) Will rats return to the same property after being trapped?

A) Yes. They follow scent trails and habit paths. Without exclusion work, new rats often return through the same access points.

Q) Do you offer rodent sealing or exclusion services?

A) Yes, but it’s not included by default. After trapping is complete and activity stops, we provide a detailed estimate to seal your home.

Q) Is it necessary to clean the attic after rat removal?

A) If the infestation was limited to the attic, cleanup usually isn’t needed. The attic heat naturally helps break down most pathogens.

Q) How do you confirm that rats are completely gone?

A) We look for zero trap activity, no new signs (droppings, chew marks, noises), and the home passes a final inspection before we recommend sealing.

Q) What happens during the first inspection visit?

A) We check the attic, crawlspace, roofline, and exterior for droppings, chewed material, and entry points—then lay out a trapping strategy.

Q) Do you service Marietta neighborhoods with crawlspaces or basements?

A) Yes, we trap wherever signs of activity appear—attics, crawlspaces, basements, garages, even detached buildings like workshops or sheds.

Q) Can I stay home while rat trapping is taking place?

A) Absolutely. We don’t use chemicals or baits indoors, and traps are placed in safe, concealed spots. It’s safe to go about your day as usual.

Q) Are rats more of a winter problem, or year-round?

A) Year-round. Winter increases indoor activity, but outdoor factors like drought, development, or food access can trigger invasions any time of year.

Q) Is your service different from typical pest control companies?

A) Yes. Pest control typically means long-term bait stations. We focus on trapping, resolving the current problem, and offering long-term exclusion.

Q) Do you help with rat control for rentals and investment properties in Marietta?

A) Definitely. We work with landlords, property managers, and tenants for fast, discreet service across Marietta’s residential properties.
