Understanding the True Threat of a Rat Infestation
Explore the health risks, property damage, and disruptions caused by rats in your home.
Food Contamination
Rats can contaminate food by leaving droppings, urine, or hair in storage areas or directly on food supplies. They also spread harmful bacteria like Salmonella through their contact with food surfaces.
Health Risks
Rats can transmit diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, posing serious health risks. Their droppings, urine, and parasites can contaminate surfaces, leading to potential infections.
Property Damage
Rats wreak havoc as they gnaw through walls, insulation, and wiring - a job for professional rat exterminators. These pests don't just damage property; they create fire hazards by chewing electrical wires and weaken your home's structure by making entry points. A qualified rat exterminator can stop the destruction before costly repairs are needed.
Rapid Infestation Growth
Rats reproduce quickly, with a single pair capable of producing dozens of offspring in just a few months. This rapid infestation growth can overwhelm your home, making the problem harder to control and increasing health and property risks.

Effective Solutions to End Your Rat Infestation
Rats don’t hide their presence entirely they leave clues behind. Spotting these early can help you act before the problem grows!
Gnaw Marks
Gnaw marks are a clear sign of a rat infestation, as rats constantly chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing. These marks are often found on wood, wires, pipes, or food packaging, leaving visible damage that indicates their presence in your home.
Rat droppings
Rat droppings are a key indicator of an infestation, typically found near food sources, nesting areas, or along their travel paths. These small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings signal active rat activity and the need for immediate attention.
Nests
Rat nests are a strong sign of an infestation, often built using shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation. These nests are usually hidden in dark, secluded areas, such as attics, basements, or behind walls, indicating rats are actively breeding in your home.

Critter stop has done an amazing job with all the services they have provided. From the beginning of their process it has been a seamless experience with them and transparent as well. Jared was the first to come to provide a quote and he was understanding kind and extremely knowledgeable.
Afterwards, the technicians, Tyler and Dakota also did a stellar job. I was so impressed with the service that they provide that we continue to use them for pest and mosquito treatment. And that has also been outstanding as well.
Shout out to Jared, Tyler and Dakota for their hard work!

Such amazing customer service! Having 2 Raccoon families in our fireplace has been stressful to say the least, but Jordan and Jacob from the Georgetown team were nothing less than amazing! They were so kind and talked me through each step of the removal process and securing the fireplace so the eviction is final!
I would 1,000 percent recommend the company (especially if you’re in the Georgetown area) and Jordan and Jacob made a customer for life! - but hoping we don’t need them in the future ;)

We price based on features of the home, square footage of the home, the severity of the infestation, whether you have a tight crawl space or a big open attic, landscaping around the home (determines how hard it is to get to entry points), steepness of the roof (determines how long it will take), if we have to harness in, etc. Each client receives an itemized list of everything they are charged for and the cost of each item.
