Roof rats are excellent climbers. They travel along fences, palms, fruit trees and utility lines, then get into attics and garages through gaps as small as a half inch. Once inside they chew wiring, contaminate insulation and breed quickly.

Roof rats have been established in the Las Vegas Valley since 1990 and are now found in many neighborhoods with mature landscaping, palms and citrus. Read Roof Rats in Las Vegas for local signs and risks.

FAQ
They climb trees, palms, fences and utility lines to the roof, then squeeze through gaps at vents, soffits, roof edges and pipes. Openings of about a half inch are enough.
Poisoned rats can die inside walls and attics, causing odors and flies. Trapping removes them, and exclusion keeps new ones out.
Most homes need one to three weeks of trapping, along with sealing entry points. We keep checking until activity stops.
They can contaminate food and surfaces, damage wiring and insulation, and carry diseases and parasites. Avoid handling droppings without protection.
Trim branches back from the roofline, pick up fallen fruit, store pet food and birdseed sealed, and seal gaps around vents and pipes.
