Rats are more than just a nuisance; they can wreak havoc on homes and businesses, spreading diseases and damaging property. If you’re dealing with a rat infestation and looking for ways to get rid of rats, you’re not alone. Colorado residents, property managers, and business owners alike are all too familiar with the challenges rodents can bring.

At OMNIS Pest Control, we understand the impact rats can have on your property, and we’re here to guide you through the most effective strategies to eliminate them for good. From using our commercial-grade rodent control boxes to implementing ongoing pest monitoring, we’ll show you how to get rid of rats and reclaim your space from these pesky intruders.

Step Two
Remove Attractants and Address Entry Points

To prevent rats from returning, it’s critical to address what attracted them to your property in the first place.

Eliminate Food Sources

Rats are expert scavengers, and any food left out is basically a welcome mat.

Store food (for you and your pets) in airtight containers to keep it fresh and safe.
Make sure trash bins are sealed and take out the trash regularly.
Tidy up crumbs, spills, and any food messes as soon as you can.

Remove Shelter Options

Rats thrive in clutter, so give them fewer places to hide.
Keep storage areas organized and off the ground.
Remove unnecessary debris, such as piles of wood, paper, or cardboard.

Seal Potential Entry Points

Did you know that rats can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter? Use these tips to seal your property from intruders.

Take a tour of your property and play “spot the crack, gap, or hole.”
Arm yourself with steel wool or caulking—small openings don’t stand a chance!
Give drafts (and pests) the boot with weather stripping for doors and windows.

Step Three
Ongoing Monitoring for Lasting Results

The most important step in rat control is consistency. Even after you’ve taken care of the immediate problem with our commercial rodent control boxes, ongoing preventive measures are crucial.

Regularly Check and Maintain OMNIS Rodent Control Boxes

Our team will work with you to build a regular maintenance schedule that ensures your property stays rat-free. Frequent checks help identify any new activity before it becomes a larger issue.

Invest in Proactive Pest Control

Rats aren’t the only pest to watch out for. Our Colorado-based team uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to monitor and control a variety of pests, creating a long-term plan tailored to your property’s needs.

Signs You Might Have a Rat Problem

Before you declare war on rats, you need to know what you’re up against. Think you’ve got unwanted furry guests? Here are signs of a rat infestation in homes and businesses.

Droppings: Tiny poop pellets showing up? Congrats, you’ve got uninvited houseguests! Check near food, drawers, or walls for their “calling cards.”
Gnaw Marks: Rats are hardcore chewers—wires, wood, plastic, you name it. Fresh chew marks? They’re basically graffiti artists in your home.
Strange Noises: Scratching in the walls at night? Either you’ve got a rodent rave or your house is auditioning for a horror movie.
Footprints and Rub Marks: Greasy smudges or tiny footprints in the dust? Rats love to leave evidence like it’s their personal crime scene.
Bad Odors: That musky funk isn’t a new candle scent—it’s likely rats nesting or, worse, a dearly departed rodent.

Once you’ve cracked the case, it’s time to kick those furry freeloaders to the curb!
