Why Rats Are a Serious Problem

Rats aren’t just an annoyance. They can affect your home, your sense of comfort, and your health. Many homeowners first notice small signs such as droppings in the pantry, gnaw marks on stored items, or scratching behind walls at night. Those signs warrant a closer look because rat activity may extend beyond the area where you found them.

Common Rat Species

Two species are most common in Mississippi homes: Norway rats, which are heavier-bodied and tend to burrow at ground level, and roof rats, which are nimbler climbers that often enter through rooflines, soffits, and upper-story gaps. Identifying which species is present matters because their travel paths, entry points, and preferred shelter areas differ. A visible rat or a handful of droppings doesn’t establish the full size or location of an infestation. That’s why a proper inspection is the starting point.

Health & Property Concerns

Rodents can contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine. This contamination can create health concerns, especially for children, older adults, or anyone with breathing issues. Nesting material and droppings in attics or crawl spaces can also create odors that are hard to track down and ignore.

Rats are also capable of damaging your property. They chew on wiring, insulation, and wood, and they often nest in areas that are difficult to access. Gnawed wiring can create electrical problems, including a fire risk. When insulation is disturbed, your home can become less efficient and harder to keep comfortable during humid Gulf Coast summers.

Biloxi Conditions & Early Action

Homes here often have raised foundations, crawl spaces, and vent openings that make easy access points for rodents. Biloxi’s coastal climate, with frequent rain and storms, can drive rats to look for shelter inside houses, sheds, and garages. When they find a way in, they tend to keep using the same routes until those entry points are located and addressed.

Acting early gives a technician a chance to assess the activity before it spreads to more areas. Even if you aren’t sure how serious the situation is, an inspection can provide clear information about the signs, access points, and appropriate next steps.

Our Rat Removal Process

From the first call through follow-up, we explain each step of the rat removal process and give you time to ask questions.

Starting with Your Call

It usually starts with a conversation over the phone. We listen as you describe what you have seen or heard, such as droppings, scratching, or gnawing. We may ask about pets, children, and any recent changes around your property, such as new construction or storm damage. Based on that information, we schedule a convenient time to visit and explain how our free estimate works.

Inspecting Activity & Entry Points

During the on-site inspection, our technicians carefully check the areas where you have noticed activity. We look in attics, crawl spaces, garages, and along exterior walls. In many local homes that means checking pier-and-beam foundations, soffits, rooflines, and utility penetrations where pipes or cables enter the structure.

As we inspect, we look for droppings, grease marks, gnawing, nesting material, and common travel paths. We work to identify what kind of rodent is present and how active rats are. Just as important, we search for the entry points that allow rats to move in and out of the home. Once we understand what is happening, we walk you through our findings in plain language.

Treatment, Follow-Up & Prevention

From there, we design a treatment plan tailored to your property. There’s no blanket spray or cookie-cutter approach. We consider where you and your family spend time, where pets have access, and how your home is laid out. We explain the placement of any traps or products and how they work together to address the infestation and help reduce future activity.

We use reduced-risk products whenever possible and consider children and pets when selecting treatment options. Our technicians point out where products are placed and how to keep curious hands and paws away from any equipment so you can follow recommended precautions throughout treatment.

After the initial treatment, we may recommend follow-up visits to check progress, refresh certain products, and talk about simple changes that can make your home less attractive to rodents. For many homeowners, that may include addressing specific gaps, adjusting how food is stored, or trimming vegetation that gives rats a covered path to the house. We also offer ongoing maintenance options for those who want regular inspections and treatment for a broader range of pests.

Alliance Pest Control is fully insured.

What to Do If You Suspect Rats

While you arrange a professional inspection, a few focused steps can reduce food sources, limit access to suspected areas, and help the technician assess the activity.

If you think rats are in your home, start here:

• Store food in sturdy, sealed containers, especially grains, pet food, and snacks.
• Clean up crumbs and spills promptly so there is less to attract rodents.
• Record where you find droppings or gnaw marks and where you hear scratching.
• Limit access to attics or storage areas where you suspect activity until they can be checked.
• Remove piles of clutter that give rats easy hiding spots, if you can do so safely.
• Keep pets away from suspected nesting areas to avoid direct contact with rodents.

We don’t recommend sealing every possible hole or crack before an inspection. Closing off entry points without understanding the full picture can sometimes trap rats inside walls or living spaces. It’s usually better to let a trained technician identify which openings matter most and in what order to address them.

We also caution against using strong poisons that aren’t designed for use around children or pets. Misused products can expose household members and complicate treatment. Our team can explain options suited to your home, including product placement and recommended precautions.
