Rat Control for Southold & Southampton NY Homes

Serving Southold & Southampton

Are you seeing signs of large rodents around your home or business? They’re most likely rats. Get rid of any rat nests in your home by calling the rat extermination specialists at Twin Forks Pest Control® for removal, exclusion, and more.

Rats are notorious for carrying diseases but also for destroying property. Their razor-sharp teeth can destroy everything in their path, including hard plastics, wood, and metal. Needless to say, rats can easily chew through the drywall, insulation, and electrical wiring in your home or business. The structural damage that can be caused would be catastrophic to any home, much less the fire hazard caused by chewed-up wires and cables.

While sometimes kept as pets, wild rodents are dangerous to human health and destructive to homes without rat control. Rats are drawn to consistent food sources, so like mice, they inhabit human living spaces and human-made environments, such as sewer systems.

What Happens if You Don’t Address Your Rat Infestation

One of the world’s most widespread pests, the common rat is found all over Southold and Southampton. Also known as the Norway rat, water rat, or common rat, they are found on every continent in the world with the exception of Antarctica.

Rats can cause just as much, if not more, damage than mice. Rats are infamous for helping to spread the plague, which depopulated Europe in the 14th century. Today, rats are known for carrying hantavirus, hemorrhagic fever, and leptospirosis, among other diseases, all of which are deadly to humans. Rats have even been found to carry trichinosis, which causes heart muscle and lung inflammation.
