Rat Control in Dayton, OH
Norway rats travel sewer lines, creek corridors and alleys across older Dayton neighborhoods, then move into crawl spaces, garages and sheds. They are neophobic — they avoid new objects — so a rat job needs patience and placement, not volume.

Rats questions Dayton homeowners ask
- How fast can you get out for rats?
- Most Miami Valley calls are scheduled within the same week, and stinging-insect emergencies are often handled same or next day. Ken schedules the visit himself when you call.
- Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
- Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied by a licensed applicator (ODA #12706), placed where pests travel rather than where your family does. We will tell you exactly how long to stay off treated surfaces.
- Do I have to sign a contract?
- No. One-time service, quarterly and monthly programs are all available, and nothing auto-locks you in. Quarterly customers get free re-treats between visits.
