About this service
What Rat Extermination in Georgia Actually Involves
Rat Extermination in Georgia is a licensed, multi-step service that finds active rat activity, removes the animals, seals the entry points they used, and cleans up the mess they left behind. Rats do not wander into a house by accident. They follow plumbing penetrations, roofline gaps, and foundation cracks. Our technicians inspect with mirrors and flashlights, place snap traps and bait stations in the right spots, and treat the problem at the source instead of just the symptom.
Georgia homes deal with two main rat species: roof rats that travel power lines and attic rafters, and Norway rats that burrow along foundations and crawl spaces. Both leave droppings, urine odor, and chewed insulation behind. If you have heard scratching at 2 a.m. or found greasy rub marks along a baseboard, you need professional rat extermination Georgia homeowners can count on. We handle the whole job, from inspection to sanitation.

What's included
What Our Rat Extermination Service Includes
Every job starts with an inspection and ends with a walkthrough. The list below covers what is standard on a Rat Extermination in Georgia job. If your property needs extra work, like full insulation replacement or large-scale burrow removal, we quote that separately before we start.
Trap Placement and Monitoring
We set snap traps, live traps, and glue boards along the runways rats use. Traps get checked every 48 to 72 hours during the active phase until the colony is cleared.
Entry-Point Sealing
Copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth, and exclusion sealant close every gap we find. This is the step that stops new rats from walking back in through the same hole.
Sanitation and Deodorizing
We remove droppings, spray disinfectant and deodorizer, and replace soiled insulation where needed. Dead rat odor gets treated at the source, not masked with air freshener.
Final Walkthrough and Report
On the last visit, we walk the property with you, show you the sealed entry points, and explain what to watch for over the next 30 days. You get a written summary of the work performed.
How it works
How Our Rat Extermination Process Works
A licensed technician walks the attic, crawl space, kitchen, garage, and exterior perimeter. We look for droppings, rub marks, burrows, gnawed wires, and entry points. This inspection usually takes 45 to 60 minutes and tells us exactly how many rats we are dealing with.
We match the method to the species and the layout. Roof rats in an attic get different trap placement than Norway rats in a crawl space. You get a written plan with the number of traps, bait stations, and exclusion points before any work begins.
We set snap traps, live traps, and glue boards along the runways rats use. Traps are checked every 48 to 72 hours during the active phase. Most infestations are cleared in one to three weeks, depending on the size of the colony and how long it has been active.
Once the rats are out, we seal every gap we found. Copper mesh and steel wool fill small holes, hardware cloth covers larger openings, and exclusion sealant closes gaps around pipes and vents. This is the step that keeps the problem from coming back.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Snap Traps (Victor, Tomcat, JT Eaton)
Placed along rat runways in attics and crawl spaces. Fast, effective, and safe when set inside areas pets and kids cannot reach.
Live Traps (Havahart)
Used when a customer wants a non-lethal option or when a rat needs to be removed from a sensitive area like a kitchen.
Glue Boards (Catchmaster, Trapper)
Set along walls and behind appliances where rats travel. Useful for monitoring activity and catching juveniles.
Bait Stations (Bell Laboratories, D-Con)
Locked, tamper-resistant housings that hold rodenticide. Placed outside and in crawl spaces away from pets and children.
Exclusion Materials
Copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth, and exclusion sealant close gaps around pipes, vents, and foundations. This is what makes the job permanent.
Sanitation Equipment
Protective suits, respirators, sanitation sprayers, disinfectant, and deodorizer. Used on every cleanup to remove droppings, urine, and dead rat odor.

Rat Problems We Solve for Georgia Homeowners
Rats cause damage fast. Here are the most common problems we get called about and how we handle each one.
Ask a pro →Scratching and running sounds in the attic at night
We inspect the attic with mirrors and flashlights, identify the runways, and set snap traps along them. Entry points at the roofline get sealed with copper mesh and exclusion sealant. Most attic jobs clear in two to three weeks.
Rat droppings in the kitchen or pantry
We locate the entry point, usually a gap around plumbing or a foundation crack, and seal it. Traps go behind appliances and along baseboards. We sanitize the contaminated area with disinfectant and deodorizer before we leave.
Dead rat odor inside a wall or ceiling
We use inspection tools to pinpoint the carcass, open the smallest access point possible, remove it, and treat the area with disinfectant and deodorizer. Most odor calls are resolved in a single visit.
Rats coming back every fall
We do a full exclusion pass with copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth, and exclusion sealant. That closes the building envelope so next fall's rats have nowhere to get in. We document every sealed point on the final walkthrough.

Most Georgia rat extermination jobs run $250 to $850, with the average around $450. A single-room trap job sits at the low end. Full attic and crawl space work with exclusion and sanitation lands at the high end. Emergency calls, heavy infestations, and large homes push the price up. You get the exact number before we start, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
The best method is a combination: snap traps and bait stations to remove the active rats, then exclusion work with copper mesh, steel wool, and hardware cloth to seal the building. Trapping alone fails because new rats walk back in through the same gaps. We match the trap type to the species, since roof rats and Norway rats travel differently. Most jobs clear in one to three weeks.
The first visit takes two to four hours. Full clearance usually runs one to three weeks, depending on colony size and how long the rats have been inside. Traps get checked every 48 to 72 hours during the active phase. Once the rats are gone, exclusion and sanitation take one more visit. You get a written timeline on day one.
Yes, when it is done by a licensed technician. We place bait stations in locked, tamper-resistant housings that pets cannot open, and we keep rodenticide out of areas your dog or cat can reach. Snap traps go inside attic and crawl space zones your pets do not enter. Tell us about your pets at the inspection so we can adjust placement.
