Norway Rats Removal in Toronto, Durham & York Region

Norway Rats are one of the most common calls we get across the GTA. Norway rats burrow at ground level, often near foundations, sheds, and sewer or drainage access points.

Why it matters:

Their burrowing can undermine foundations and paved surfaces over time, and they’re strong enough to gnaw through most common building materials to get inside.

Our approach:

We focus exclusion work at ground level — foundation gaps, utility penetrations, and burrow sites — alongside baiting and trapping to clear the active population. Every visit starts with a full inspection and a clear explanation of what we find, backed by a satisfaction guarantee and 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations. We serve homes and businesses across Toronto, Durham Region, and York Region — including Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and the surrounding communities.

Signs of a Norway Rat Infestation

Norway rats are large rodents that usually live in burrows but can enter buildings in search of food and warmth. Here are some key signs that you may have a Norway rat infestation:

  • Droppings: Norway rat droppings are larger than those of other rodent species, measuring about ¾ inch in length. They are often found along runways, near food sources, and in areas where rats are active.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rats have strong teeth that never stop growing, which means they gnaw constantly. Finding gnaw marks on wooden structures, pipes, wires, or food packaging is a common sign of rat activity.
  • Burrows in Outdoor Areas: Norway rats typically dig burrows outside near foundations, gardens, or under garbage bins. These burrows provide nesting and shelter for the rats.
  • Tracks and Smudge Marks: Rats follow the same pathways repeatedly, leaving dark grease marks along walls and baseboards. You may also notice footprints or tail drag marks in dusty areas.
  • Noises in Walls or Ceilings: If you hear scratching or scurrying sounds at night, particularly in walls, attics, or basements, it could indicate the presence of Norway rats.
