    Rat Control

    Roof rats and pack rats, trapping, exclusion, and midden removal.

    Roof rats climb power lines and palms straight into your attic. Pack rats build huge stick nests (middens) in BBQs, sheds, and engine compartments, and chew expensive wiring. Both need a real plan, not just bait.

    Signs you have a problem

    • Scurrying or scratching in the attic at night
    • Greasy rub marks on roof tiles or beams
    • Stick-and-debris nests under porches, in BBQs, or in vehicles
    • Chewed wiring in cars, HVAC, or irrigation

    How Hydra treats it

    Attic and roof-line inspection with full exclusion of entry points.

    Snap-trap and live-trap programs for roof rats; midden removal for pack rats.

    Exterior tamper-resistant bait stations and ongoing monitoring.

    How it works

    • Up-front quote for inspection, exclusion, and trapping
    • Multi-visit program included
    • Coordination with HVAC or roofing if structural repairs are needed
