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.
