Roof Rat & Pack Rat Removal That Actually Keeps Them Out

Roof rats and desert pack rats (also called woodrats) are a serious problem across the Southwest. They nest in attics, citrus trees, garages, and engine compartments, chew through wiring and irrigation lines, and contaminate everything they touch. A few traps rarely solve it — lasting control means removing the rodents and sealing the ways they get in.

Bug Bouncers connects you with a licensed local pro who handles the full job: removal, nest cleanup, and exclusion.

Signs You Have Roof or Pack Rats

• Droppings in the attic, garage, or along walls
• Gnaw marks on wires, irrigation lines, or citrus fruit
• Scratching or scurrying in the ceiling at night
• Nests of sticks, debris, and 'pack' material near sheds, cactus, or engine bays

How Pros Stop Desert Rats

Effective rodent control is a system, not a single trap. A licensed technician clears the active population, then seals entry points so new rats can't return.

• Inspection to find entry points, runways, and nests
• Trapping and removal of the active population
• Exclusion — sealing roof gaps, vents, pipe penetrations, and garage gaps
• Nest cleanup and sanitation in attics and yards
• Trimming and yard tips to remove harborage

Why Exclusion Matters

Rats can fit through a hole the size of a quarter and climb walls, trees, and power lines to reach your roof. Without sealing entry points, they come right back — which is why professional exclusion is the key to lasting results.
