Roof Rat Removal in Kensington
Roof rat removal service targets the common roof rat (Rattus rattus) infestations prevalent in Kensington homes and businesses, especially those near canyons or with mature landscaping. Property owners need this service when they hear scratching in attics or walls, find droppings, or see rats traveling along fences, utility lines, or in dense vegetation like bougainvillea.
Neglecting roof rat infestations can lead to significant property damage from gnawing on electrical wires, plumbing, and structural elements, posing fire and flood risks. More importantly, roof rats carry diseases like leptospirosis and salmonella, contaminating food preparation surfaces and posing serious health risks to occupants.

What affects the cost of Roof Rat Removal
Frequently asked questions
How do roof rats typically enter homes in Kensington?
Roof rats are excellent climbers, often using overhanging tree branches, dense ivy, utility lines, and even clay tile roofs to access attics and upper levels of homes, especially those bordering canyons like Tecolote or Rose Canyon.
Is it safe to use poison for roof rats inside my home?
We strongly advise against using rodenticides inside homes due to the risk of rats dying in inaccessible areas, creating foul odors and attracting other pests. Our interior treatments focus on trapping and removal, while exterior bait stations are tamper-resistant and strategically placed.
How long does roof rat removal take?
The duration varies based on the infestation's severity and the property's specifics, but a typical treatment involves an initial visit for setup and exclusion, followed by 1-2 follow-up visits over several weeks to ensure complete eradication and monitor for new activity.
What can I do to prevent future roof rat infestations?
Maintain trimmed vegetation away from your home's exterior, seal all gaps and openings larger than a quarter-inch, keep trash cans tightly sealed, and remove pet food and water bowls overnight. Regular inspections, especially for homes in canyon-rim neighborhoods, are also crucial.
Can you handle commercial jobs?
Yes. We cover both residential and commercial Roof Rat Removal in Kensington.
Do you give quotes upfront?
Yes — you get a clear, flat price before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
