Rat Control

Protect Your Home & Business From Rats

Hearing scratching in the walls or finding droppings in the pantry can turn your stomach and raise a lot of questions. You know rats are not just unpleasant—they can spread germs, damage wiring and insulation, and create stress you do not need. When you need clear answers and a practical plan,Ranger Pest Control, a trusted provider of pest control services, is here to help.

We are a family-owned company serving the Las Vegas valley since 2010. Our team focuses on safe, thorough solutions that address the problem at its source. We offer free estimates and same-day help when our schedule allows, so you can start addressing rat activity quickly and confidently.

Whether rats have just appeared or have been causing ongoing issues, our goal is to explain what is happening, identify entry points, and recommend a clear path forward to protect your home or business.

Why Choose Ranger For Rats

Rat problems are personal. They affect where you sleep, where your kids play, and in many cases where you welcome customers. That is why you need more than a one-size-fits-all treatment. You need a local team that knows the area, respects your space, and takes the time to do the job carefully.

Ranger Pest Control is a family-owned and locally owned business, founded by the Hardinger brothers. We understand how rodents behave in the Las Vegas climate and how construction styles in the valley can create easy access points. Our technicians are licensed and insured, and they focus on building real relationships with the people they serve.

Safety is central to how we work. We use products and techniques designed to be safe for people, pets, and property, and we explain every step before we start. If you have concerns about children, pets, or sensitive areas, we adjust our approach to match your needs.

We also keep things flexible. Some customers need a focused visit to address a specific issue, while others prefer ongoing service to keep rodent pressure down. We offer both options, without long-term contracts, and make scheduling simple.

Signs You May Have Rats

Many people are not sure whether they are dealing with rats or something else. Recognizing common signs can help you decide when it is time to bring in a professional.

Look for these signs of rats around your property:

• Droppings along walls, in cabinets, or near food and pet dishes
• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or attic spaces at night
• Gnaw marks on boxes, baseboards, wires, or stored items
• Greasy rub marks where rats travel along the same paths repeatedly
• Nests made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
• Strong, musty odors in enclosed spaces like closets, garages, or storage rooms

In the Las Vegas valley, rats often seek shelter near irrigation systems, block walls, and water heaters. In commercial properties, they may appear near dumpsters, loading docks, and storage rooms where food or packaging is kept. Even a few signs can indicate a larger issue developing behind the scenes.

Our Rat Control Process

Not knowing what will happen when a technician arrives can make an already stressful situation worse. We work to keep our rat control process clear and predictable, so you always know what to expect.

The process usually starts with a phone call. Our office team asks a few questions about what you have seen or heard and helps schedule a convenient time for inspection. When we arrive, we introduce ourselves, listen to your concerns, and begin a careful inspection of the areas that matter most.

During the inspection, we look for entry points, travel paths, nests, and signs of activity. In many Las Vegas properties, this includes checking attic access points, rooflines, garages, exterior features such as block walls, and areas near utilities. We also consider whether other pests may be contributing to the issue and, when appropriate, recommend related services like insect control to reduce attractants.

Once the inspection is complete, we explain our findings in plain language. We outline a tailored plan that may include trapping, targeted treatments, and exclusion recommendations to prevent rats from re-entering the property. Our approach aligns with broader rodent control best practices, focusing on both removal and prevention.

Safety remains a priority throughout the process. We discuss placement of any equipment, steps to protect pets and children, and what you can expect during and after service. You are never left guessing.

Rat Problems In The Las Vegas Valley

Rats are not just an issue in older or coastal areas. Conditions in and around Las Vegas provide everything rodents need to survive. Hot days and cooler nights, combined with irrigation systems and landscaping, create reliable water sources. Dense housing, shared walls, and block fencing can make it easy for rats to move between properties.

Local construction also plays a role. Many homes have stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and shared walls that can create hidden access points. In neighborhoods such as Henderson, Paradise, and Boulder City, similar building patterns mean rats often follow predictable routes.

Seasonal shifts matter too. When temperatures drop at night or during certain times of year, rodents look for warmer indoor spaces. Restaurants, warehouses, and retail spaces may see increased activity during these periods, which is why many businesses rely on ongoing service through our commercial pest control programs.

Our local experience helps us identify these patterns quickly and recommend solutions that make sense for your specific property, not just generic advice.
