It is important to take action as soon as possible.

The Rapid Rat Reproduction Reality: Understanding Their Exponential Growth

Imagine this: a single female rat, in the perfect scenario, could become the matriarch of a staggering 204 little ratlings within a year. Every three weeks, she welcomes an average of 10-12 newborns into the world. With the potential for up to 17 litters annually, we're talking about a yearly baby boom ranging from 170 to 204 rats from one mother alone.

But let’s dive deeper into this rodent rabbit hole. Once these babies hit the 30-day mark, they're ready to start families of their own. Assuming our pioneering rat mother has a balanced mix of male and female offspring, and she starts off with 204 babies, half of which are females. Fast forward a year, and if each of these 102 daughters follows in their prolific mother’s footsteps, the numbers begin to skyrocket in a way that would boggle the mind. If they all breed to their full potential, and so do half of their offspring, and so on, the family tree could explosively expand to between 120,000 and 150,000 descendants in just a single year.

While this scenario requires a perfect alignment of the stars—optimal conditions for each rat to reproduce at this rate—it paints a vivid picture of the potential for exponential growth within the rat population. It's more than just a quirky fact; it's a fascinating glimpse into the wonders of nature and the incredible reproductive capabilities of one of its most notorious members. So, the next time you see a rat in your attic, remember that they are very fast on getting babies, so you have to be faster picking up your phone and calling us at Critter Stop to prevent it.

Rat Proofing Your Home or Business

Rats are a common pest that can cause significant damage to your home or business. Rat proofing is an essential step in preventing infestations and protecting your property. Here are a few tips on how to rat-proof your home or business:

  • Seal all entry points: Rats can enter through small cracks and holes in walls, floors, and roofs. Seal all potential entry points with steel wool, caulk, or other suitable materials.
  • Keep your property clean: Rats are attracted to food and garbage. Keep your property clean and free of debris to discourage rats from taking up residence.
  • Store food properly: Keep food in sealed containers and store it off the ground. Rats can climb, so make sure to store food at least 18 inches off the ground.
  • Trim trees and bushes: Rats can use trees and bushes to gain access to your property. Trim back any trees or bushes that are close to your home or business.
  • Install door sweeps: Rats can squeeze through small gaps under doors. Install door sweeps to seal the gap between the door and the floor.
  • Keep your property well-lit: Rats prefer dark, quiet places to hide. Keep your property well-lit to discourage rats from taking up residence.

By following these simple tips, you can help prevent rat infestations and protect your property. If you suspect that you have a rat infestation, contact a professional rat exterminator service to help you eliminate the problem.

Find the Best Rodent Control Services

When it comes to finding the best rodent control services, there are a few things to consider. First, it's important to look for a company with experience in dealing with rats and other rodents. A company that has been in business for several years and has a proven track record of success is likely to provide better results.

Another factor to consider is the methods used by the company. Look for a company that uses humane and effective methods to remove rats from your property. Some companies use poison or other harmful chemicals, which can be dangerous to pets and children. A reputable company will use traps or other safe methods to remove rats without causing harm to anyone.

It's also important to consider the cost of the service. While you don't want to skimp on quality, you also don't want to pay more than you need to. Look for a company that offers competitive pricing and provides a clear breakdown of the costs involved.

Finally, consider the customer service provided by the company. A good rodent control service should be responsive to your needs and concerns, and should provide clear communication throughout the process. Look for a company that has a good reputation for customer service, and that is willing to work with you to find the best solution for your specific situation.

Our 4 Step Process

Critter Stop Inspection
1

Free Inspection

Critter Stop offers free in-home consultations to build custom solutions to your problems. We inspect your home thoroughly, inside and out, for signs of damage, animal entry, animal nesting, droppings, and more. Once we discuss the extent of the problem and what needs to be done to fix it, we’ll document a game plan together.

Seal Your Home

Sealing your home immediately is our priority. The exclusion team will thoroughly patch up potential entry sites from the roof to the foundation and everywhere in between. Once we’re sure no other rodents are getting in, we’ll set our traps in those areas we suspect animal activity.

Remove The Critters

Our technicians will check in on your home several times throughout this process. If game cameras have been set up, we’ll review those with you to discuss the animal activity. Once the traps are cleared, we will reset them and re-evaluate all the sealed points of entry to ensure no critter has re-chewed a hole or found a new way into your property.

Restoring and Sanitizing rodent droppings

Restore & Sanitize

We don’t call it a job well done once the pest is gone. There’s more work to be done! We completely restore your affected area by pulling up and replacing damaged insulation. Additionally, we fog the affected area to disinfect and remove animal pheromones that can attract new pests in the future.

“I used Critter Stop due to rats and squirrels in my attic. They also chewed up siding on the house to get in. Critter Stop was able to remove the rodents and secure the entry points. Everyone I dealt with was very polite and professional. They were able to come out quickly, communicated well, and they always showed up on time. I would use them again.”

I’d give a 10 star review if I could! We had a great experience with Critter Stop. Everyone I dealt was friendly, professional, and reassuring. Phillip was very helpful and knowledgeable about the work he was doing. He walked me around the entire house to make sure I saw and understood the services he provided. He was also really nice and answered all my questions — he is exactly the type of person that should be interacting with customers.I love the fact that they will come back for up to 1 year after installation if any problems occur — this shows me they stand behind their work.The owner was great too, he personally came to my house and walked me through their offering. I recommend critter stop to anyone and everyone!

Critter Stop is a fantastic business! Everyone involved is extremely professional and very easy to communicate with. Chisam, the owner, did a great job of explaining the process to get the squirrels out of my attic during the initial free estimate. The exclusion crew who did all of the initial work was fabulous. The crew consisted of Phillip, Nick and Corey who arrived promptly when they said they would. They are happy, positive employees. Everyone is very polite and patient in explaining their work and answering questions. They came back several times to check the traps and finish it off with the fogging. Lester was very good about following up to schedule each trap check with me, and the office staff who took care of the billing was very efficient. Critter Stop is a well run company with honest, trustworthy employees! Thank you to all of you who worked hard to make my attic critter free and for the peace of mind that you guarantee your work. Great to know I can call them if for some reason a squirrel figures out a way to get back in!

The guys at Critter Stop responded quickly, were very friendly, and gave us an honest estimate of what we might need. They explained why some items on other quotes were or were not necessary. They communicated well to get us scheduled, and did the work well and quickly. Great service at a fair and competitive price.
