Rats in the Walls in Eagle, Idaho
If you’re hearing loud scratching, scurrying, or thumping inside walls—especially at night—there’s a good chance rats are traveling through wall voids. Rats commonly move between attics, basements, crawlspaces, and utility chases, using walls as protected pathways. Pestcom Pest Management provides professional solutions for rats in the walls in Eagle, focused on removing active rats and preventing them from coming back.
Rats in walls can become a serious issue because they chew wiring, contaminate voids, and create ongoing noise and odor problems if the entry points aren’t addressed.
Common Signs of Rats in the Walls
- Loud scratching or movement inside walls
- Noises that increase after sunset
- Droppings in garages, cabinets, or utility rooms
- Chewed openings around pipes or cabinets
- Musty odors near enclosed areas
- Activity moving between floors or rooms
How Rats Get Into Wall Voids
Rats usually enter the structure first, then travel inside walls. Common entry points include:
- Gaps around utility lines and AC penetrations
- Openings near garage edges and door thresholds
- Roofline and soffit gaps that lead into wall spaces
- Vents and crawlspace screens
- Unsealed construction gaps and siding openings

- Inspection to confirm activity areas and entry points
- Strategic trapping and/or baiting based on access and behavior
- Targeting travel routes between attics, crawlspaces, and garages
