If you’re hearing scratching sounds in your walls, attic, or basement — or noticing droppings around food areas — you might have a rat problem. Our Scarborough rat control specialists provide safe, effective, and guaranteed extermination services to protect your home or business. Rats aren’t just annoying; they can cause serious damage by chewing wires, insulation, and furniture. They contaminate food, spread diseases, and create fire hazards. Acting fast is the best way to protect your property and your health. Our team of licensed pest control technicians in Scarborough delivers quick, humane, and long-lasting rat removal solutions. We don’t just remove rats — we make sure they stay gone.
Why Rat Infestations Are Common in Scarborough
Scarborough’s urban layout, older homes, and proximity to ravines, parks, and waterfront areas make it an ideal place for rats to thrive. These pests are skilled climbers and burrowers, capable of entering through cracks, pipes, or vents. Rats are mostly active at night and often go unnoticed until the infestation grows.
Typical signs of a rat problem include:
- Scratching or scurrying noises at night
- Droppings around cupboards, basements, or behind appliances
- Gnaw marks on wires, pipes, or wood
- Nests made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
- A foul, musky odor near walls or corners
If you notice any of these, contact our Scarborough pest experts for an inspection before the issue spreads further.
Our Proven Rat Removal Process
Inspection & Identification
We start with a full inspection of your property to identify rat species, nesting areas, and access points. This allows us to design a precise treatment plan.
Targeted Treatment Plan
Once we understand the scope of the infestation, we create a custom removal and prevention plan. This may include:
- Secure bait stations and traps
- Humane rat removal
- Sealing and exclusion of entry points
- Odor and contamination cleanup
- Exterior protection around the foundation and garbage areas
Every step is designed for safety, efficiency, and long-term prevention.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
We return for follow-up visits to monitor rat activity, reset traps, and confirm full elimination. If rats reappear during the warranty period, we re-treat at no additional cost.
Long-Term Prevention
Once your property is rat-free, we provide sealing, maintenance, and prevention recommendations — ensuring the problem never returns.

Common Rat Species in Scarborough
Norway Rat
These large rats often nest underground or in basements and crawl spaces. They can enter through drains or cracks and are known for their destructive chewing habits.
Roof Rat
Smaller and more agile, roof rats nest in attics, ceilings, and high spaces. They often enter through vents or roof openings and can quickly spread across multiple units.
Both species reproduce rapidly, so early detection and professional removal are essential.
Rat Prevention Tips for Homeowners
Preventing rats starts with smart maintenance and cleanliness. Our Scarborough pest control team recommends:
- Sealing cracks and holes around doors, foundations, and vents
- Keeping garbage bins sealed and stored away from walls
- Storing dry food in airtight containers
