What happens when Rats live in your walls?

Here at the Twin Home Experts, we specialize in removing rats from walls fast.  There is no one in the country that specializes in removing rats the way we do in the country. Your typical pest control companies do not have the proper equipment or skill set to diagnose Nor extract them out of your walls. When rats live inside your walls, they’re seeking shelter for nesting & birthing, and begin to colonize inside your home until you get them out.

The damage they can do inside your wall cavities can be very severe.

The damage they can do inside your wall cavities can be very severe.

There are a variety of ways how rats get inside your walls.  Check around your exterior for any openings, crawl space vents, roof overlaps, and bathroom exhaust roof vents. But the most common way that they’re intruding is through the sewer system.  More than likely you have an open pipe inside your home, more than likely a sewer vent stack, the Rats have the ability to sense airflow as they migrate through your local city sewer main line out in the street.

We go to many jobs where property owners pound on the walls and use peppermint spray, ammonia, Irish spring soap, and even expensive ultra-sonic noise repellents.  If you watched the video above, our client was using a big bat to Pound on walls but didn’t have any effect. All these methods DO NOT WORK, you cannot scare Rats away, if there is an opening in your walls, then they will continue to come & go until you find the holes and seal them up for good.

These mammals can live a long time inside your walls as they will continue to give birth, in addition, they leave their scents, which attract other rats signaling them that your home is a safe place. As time goes on, the bigger the colony becomes, then they begin to migrate to other parts of your walls that they have access to.

You can see in this video above, the rats dragged nesting materials & outside peanuts into this wall cavity, creating one of the biggest rats’ nests we have ever seen. This was at least 6 years of nesting inside this wall.

There is so much inaccurate information on this subject,  it’s so frustrating as a Rat wall & ceiling remover to read as it’s just an attempt to sell you a product.

Here’s an example on how to get rid of rats in your walls:

This article is selling you bait poisons which is the WORST thing you can ever do and does not get to the root of the problem.  This can cause more damage and very bad odors in your home if they eat it, as they will die inside your walls.

Most of the time, Rats will not eat the bait or anything because they have plenty of food sources as they’re entering & leaving your home.

The ultimate and ONLY way to get rid of Rats in your walls is to find the entry points.  Unfortunately, most exterminators do not have the capability of opening the walls to conduct the repairs and remove the rats.  Here at Twin Home Experts, we conduct a rodent-nontoxic smoke test to the entire waste & vent system.  Once we detect the breach, then oftentimes it requires us to open that section of wall. We perform the necessary repairs, we extract any nesting materials and apply our Twinzyme to sanitize & remove the foul odors. Once repairs & cleaning have been completed, now it’s time to trap, as the remaining Rats scurried off to other parts of the wall. We set the world’s only  Rat wall extraction device, our Twins Rat Vac Wall trap, and within 24 to 72 hours the Rats will be out for good.

This can vary depending on how the Rodents are entering the structure, how much damage they cause, are the entry points easy to seal or difficult. How much wall needs to be opened? Are there just a few rats to remove or has it become a rat infestation? How much clean-up is involved dictates cost as well. We have solved Rats inside walls for costs as high as $14,000.00 to as low as $850.00.

1- Setting traps

2- Spray peppermint oil or other so-called repellents

Here’s an example of a pest control company providing (in our professional opinion) the wrong information about removing Rats from walls.

5 Ways: How to Get Rid of Roof Rats in Walls – Pinnacle Pest Control

There is no discussion about opening the wall nor conducting a sewer inspection, to determine their entry points. 90% of the time the Rats in your walls are coming from an open sewer waste vent.

Once you have identified the entry points and you have properly repaired & sealed them up, the Rats begin to go into panic mode. After they have determined that they’re blocked in, the noise level of activity is going to be much more aggressive than usual.

Setting & placing traps is going to be the key to extracting. We typically remove Rats from walls within 2 to 6 days.

With the Twins Rat vac we can extract up to 50 rats at a time from inside a wall.
