Trusted Rat Exterminator in Boise, Idaho
Rats are among the most destructive pests that can invade a home or business. They chew electrical wiring, damage insulation, contaminate food and storage areas, and spread disease. Once rats gain entry, they reproduce quickly, making professional help essential.
Pestcom provides reliable, professional Boise rat exterminator services designed to eliminate active infestations and stop rats from returning.
What We See in Boise Homes
Boise’s mix of older neighborhoods, new construction, irrigation systems, and nearby foothills creates ideal conditions for rat activity. As temperatures drop in the fall and winter, rats move indoors seeking warmth and shelter.
Neighborhoods like the North End, the Bench, West Boise, and areas near the Boise River Greenbelt frequently experience increased rodent pressure. Homes near parks, canals, and open spaces are especially vulnerable.

Signs You Need a Boise Rat Exterminator
- Scratching or chewing sounds in walls or ceilings
- Large droppings in garages, attics, or crawlspaces
- Chewed wires, wood, or personal belongings
- Strong musty odors from hidden areas
- Grease marks along beams or baseboards
- Pets acting alert toward walls or vents
Even a small sign of rats usually means a larger hidden problem. Early professional extermination prevents costly damage.
Our Boise Rat Extermination Process
Effective rat extermination requires more than setting a few traps. Pestcom uses a thorough, step-by-step system:
- Detailed inspection to locate entry points and nesting areas
- Strategic trapping and monitoring programs
- Targeted interior and exterior treatments
- Exterior baiting when necessary
- Identification of structural vulnerabilities
- Custom prevention recommendations
This proven approach removes current rats and creates a plan to prevent new infestations.
Common Rat Situations We Handle
Rats in attics
Attics provide warmth, insulation, and quiet nesting space, making them a prime target for rats.
Rats in walls
Scratching noises at night are often caused by rats traveling through wall voids.
Garage and crawlspace infestations
Cluttered or seldom-used spaces give rats safe areas to hide and reproduce.

Why DIY Rat Control Rarely Works
Store-bought traps and poisons may catch a few rats, but they don’t solve the root problem. Without identifying and sealing entry points, new rats will continue to invade your home.
A professional Boise rat exterminator addresses both the infestation and the conditions that allowed it to occur.
