Rat Control in Reno
Protecting Your Wiring and Insulation from Damage
In Reno, the shift in seasons often signals a migration of pests, but few are as destructive or distressing as rats. As temperatures drop in the high desert, these intelligent rodents seek the warmth and security of our homes, squeezing through impossibly small openings to nest in attics, basements, and crawlspaces. The sound of scratching above your head at night isn't just annoying; it is a warning sign of potential structural damage and significant health risks that need to be addressed immediately.
At Natura Pest Control, we understand the urgency and anxiety that comes with a rodent infestation. Since opening our Reno office in 2017, we have dedicated ourselves to being the safest and most thorough pest control provider in the region. We treat your home with the utmost care, ensuring that we remove these unwanted guests effectively while prioritizing the safety of your children and pets. We take ownership of the situation so you can sleep soundly again.

The Hidden Dangers of Rats
While seeing a rat scurrying across the floor is shocking, the damage you don't see is often far worse. Rats are hardwired to chew constantly to keep their incisors sharp, and unfortunately, your home provides plenty of targets.
- Fire Hazards: Rats frequently chew through electrical wiring inside walls, which is a leading cause of undetermined structure fires.
- Insulation Destruction: They trample and soil insulation in attics and crawlspaces, significantly reducing your home's energy efficiency and requiring costly repairs.
- Disease Vectors: In our region, rodents can carry dangerous pathogens like Hantavirus and Salmonella. Their droppings and urine can contaminate the air quality of your home.
- Rapid Reproduction: A pair of rats can produce dozens of offspring in a single year. What starts as a minor intrusion can quickly become a full-blown colonization.
- Parasites: Rats often bring fleas, ticks, and mites into the home, introducing a secondary pest problem to your family and pets.
Ignoring the early signs—like droppings, gnaw marks, or strange noises—can lead to extensive property damage and health concerns. Professional intervention is critical to stop the destruction in its tracks.
Our Approach to Rat Control
At Natura Pest Control, we believe that effective rat control requires a strategy that is both aggressive against pests and protective of your family. Our process is designed to be the "Easiest" experience you've had with a service company, handling the dirty work so you don't have to.
- Thorough Inspection: We start by meticulously inspecting the exterior and interior of your home to identify entry points, nesting sites, and travel pathways.
- Strategic Trapping: We use safe, strategically placed traps to reduce the population quickly. We prioritize methods that pose the least risk to non-target animals like your pets.
- Exclusion Work: The only way to stop rats for good is to keep them out. We seal up the small gaps and holes they use to enter, effectively locking them out of your home.
- Sanitation Advice: We help identify attractants like accessible food or clutter that might be inviting rats in, helping you create a less hospitable environment for them.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We don't just set traps and leave. We follow up to ensure the infestation is resolved and provide easy communication throughout the process.
We are here to enhance comfort and protection in Reno. By combining expert knowledge with our core value of treating you like family, we deliver results that restore your peace of mind.
The Importance of Professional Service
Many homeowners attempt to solve rat problems with store-bought traps or baits, but these DIY methods often fall short. Rats are neophobic, meaning they are suspicious of new objects in their environment, and they can easily avoid poorly placed traps. Furthermore, placing toxic baits without professional knowledge can put local wildlife, pets, and children at serious risk of accidental poisoning.
A professional service goes beyond simply catching a rat. We understand the behavior of Norway rats versus Roof rats—knowing that one burrows and the other climbs changes the entire strategy. We know how to identify the subtle rub marks and urine trails that indicate high-traffic areas, ensuring that control measures are placed exactly where they will be most effective.
Most importantly, professional control focuses on the root cause: how they are getting in. Without professional exclusion work to seal entry points, you are simply managing a revolving door of rodents. We provide a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
