Rats in Walls in Nampa – Fast, Professional Solutions
Scratching, scurrying, or chewing sounds coming from inside your walls are often the first warning sign of a rat problem. Wall voids provide rats with safe pathways through your home, allowing them to travel, nest, and multiply unseen.
Pestcom provides professional services for rats in walls in Nampa, including accurate inspections, targeted removal, and long-term prevention to keep rodents from returning.
What We See in Nampa Homes
Nampa’s agricultural surroundings, irrigation canals, older neighborhoods, and new developments all create consistent rodent pressure. As temperatures cool in fall and winter, rats commonly move indoors and begin using wall spaces to travel between attics, kitchens, and garages.
Homes near Lake Lowell, South Nampa, Garrity Boulevard, and areas bordering open fields or canal systems often experience higher rodent activity. Both older homes with settling foundations and newer construction with small exterior gaps can be vulnerable.
Common Signs of Rats in Walls
- Scratching or scurrying noises at night
- Chewing sounds behind drywall
- Droppings in garages, basements, or cupboards
- Unexplained odors coming from wall spaces
- Grease marks along baseboards or entry points
- Pets focused on or pawing at walls
If you are hearing these noises, the issue is likely already established. Quick action helps prevent a minor problem from becoming a major infestation.

Why Rats in Walls Are a Serious Concern
Rats living inside walls can create far more than noise. Common risks include:
- Chewed electrical wiring that increases fire hazards
- Damage to insulation and structural materials
- Contamination from droppings and urine
- Spread of fleas, mites, and other parasites
- Strong odors from nesting or deceased rodents
Ignoring rats in walls almost always leads to larger and more expensive problems over time.
How We Remove Rats From Nampa Wall Spaces
Dealing with rats inside walls requires a strategic, professional approach. Pestcom’s process includes:
- Thorough interior and exterior inspection
- Identification of entry points and travel routes
- Strategic trapping and monitoring programs
- Targeted treatments designed for hidden spaces
- Exterior control to stop new rats from entering
- Prevention recommendations based on your home
Our focus is on eliminating current rats first, then addressing how they got inside so the problem does not return.

Why DIY Methods Don’t Work for Rats in Walls
Store-bought traps and poisons are rarely effective for rats living inside walls. Without a professional inspection, it is difficult to know where rats are entering or how they are moving through the home.
Poisons can also create unpleasant odors if rodents die inside walls, leading to additional cleanup costs and frustration.
A true long-term solution requires professional removal paired with: Nampa Rodent Exclusion.
Preventing Future Rats in Walls
After rats are removed, prevention is critical. Effective steps include:
- Sealing exterior gaps and structural openings
- Screening vents and roofline penetrations
- Trimming trees and bushes away from the home
- Reducing food sources around the property
- Ongoing exterior rodent monitoring
Pestcom helps Nampa homeowners not only solve current problems but protect their homes for the future.
