Professional Rat Extermination in Lansing, Byron Center, and Nearby Areas
Gutter installers found a hornet nest in my home and couldn’t finish the installation. I called a number of large chain pest control companies but Ben explained his process over in detail that I could understand. He and his assistant came that same day. They were thorough and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Stewart Pest Solutions.
Rats are more than just a nuisance. They can cause serious damage to your property and create unsafe conditions for your home or business. Rats chew through wood, wiring, and insulation, increasing the risk of costly repairs and even fire hazards. They also contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, creating unhealthy environments.
Many property owners first notice a rat problem by hearing scratching or movement inside walls, ceilings, or floors. Other common signs include droppings, strong odors, and visible damage to siding, cabinets, or stored items. By the time these signs appear, the infestation may already be well established.
Rats are known to carry harmful bacteria and pathogens that can pose health risks to people and pets. Their nesting and feeding habits can quickly lead to structural damage if left untreated.
Common Rats Found in Michigan
Norway Rats
Often referred to as “sewer rats,” Norway rats are large, heavy-bodied rodents with brown fur, blunt noses, and relatively short tails. They are commonly found in Michigan around sewers, basements, garages, and building foundations where they burrow and nest. These rats are strong foragers, traveling long distances at night in search of food such as garbage and pet food.
Norway rats reproduce quickly, with females producing between 6-12 pups per litter, with multiple litters each year. Their constant gnawing can damage wiring and structural materials, increasing fire risks. They are also known carriers of harmful diseases, making professional control essential for protecting your property and health.
