At Ideal Pest Control, we provide expert rat control and exclusion services that remove rat infestations safely and effectively — and help prevent them from coming back. Our trained technicians understand rodent behavior and use proven strategies to protect your property.
Why Professional Rat Control Matters
Rats are more than an annoyance — they can cause structural damage, spoil food, contaminate surfaces with urine and droppings, and spread disease. Common species in the Lower Mainland such as Norway rats and roof rats can squeeze through small openings and nest in walls, attics, basements, and crawl spaces. DIY traps and repellents may offer temporary relief, but long-term solutions require professional assessment and exclusion techniques.
Common Rat Problems in Surrey
Rats are attracted to:
Food sources (garbage, pet food, compost)
Cluttered storage areas
Unsealed exterior openings
Rooflines, soffits, and attics
Signs of rat activity include:
Droppings around cupboards, garages, and walls
Gnaw marks on wood, insulation, wiring, or packaging
Scratching noises at night in walls or ceilings
Burrows near foundations or under decks
Rats reproduce quickly — a small problem can become a large one in weeks without intervention.
Our Rat Control Process

We begin with a thorough inspection of your property, including exterior perimeters, potential entry points, and interior spaces where rats may be active.

🧱 Exclusion & Prevention
Our technicians locate and seal entry points, reinforce structural gaps, and recommend sanitation improvements to keep rats from returning.
