Rats Removal in Toronto, Durham & York Region

Rats are one of the most common calls we get across the GTA. Norway rats and roof rats are both found in the GTA, though they use different parts of a property — Norway rats stay near ground level, while roof rats climb and nest higher up.

Why it matters:

Rats carry disease, cause real structural damage through gnawing, and are more difficult to fully clear than mice once a colony is established.

Our approach:

We remove rats humanely, seal the specific entry points identified during inspection, and set up an ongoing prevention plan tailored to the property. 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 Rat Infestation

Rats are nocturnal creatures that often remain hidden, but there are key signs that indicate a rat infestation:

  • Rat Droppings: One of the most common indicators of a rat problem is the presence of droppings. Rat droppings are typically found near food sources, in attics, basements, or along runways. They are dark and shaped like pellets.
  • Gnaw Marks and Damage: Rats gnaw on various materials, including wires, wood, and plastic, to keep their teeth sharp. Finding gnaw marks on surfaces, furniture, or electrical wiring is a strong indicator of rat activity.
  • Scratching Sounds: Rats are most active at night. You may hear scratching, scurrying, or rustling sounds coming from the walls, ceilings, or behind appliances.
  • Nests: Rats create nests using shredded paper, fabric, and other soft materials. These nests are often found in hidden, secluded areas such as attics, basements, or crawl spaces.
  • Grease Marks: Rats follow the same routes as they move around your home, leaving dark, greasy smudges along walls or baseboards from their fur.
