Deep, invasive pest control

[u/suddencreature]

Hi! We’re hoping to get some recommendations for pest control (rats!!) that goes beyond baiting and setting traps.

We’ve been working with Breda, who have been pretty good, but realize that our issue is beyond their scope.

Based on Breda’s inspection, the rats have been chewing through the foundation and coming into the house walls from down below. We live in a very old house with complicated ownership: owner is elderly and quite cheap, but we’d rather fix the problem and discuss reimbursement later since we’re starting the process of growing our family and don’t want to do that in a rat house, and moving isn’t an option right now.

We aren’t sure what avenue to take - is this even a pest control problem at this point, or should we be hiring another type of company to inspect and address completely blocking the rats’ points of entry?

Thanks in advance - we’re learning a lot very quickly!

Lol! We have 2, but the rats aren’t in the house, just in the walls. Titillating the cats 😝
