The Rat Threat in WNY: Rodents on the Rise
Fast-breeding and adaptable, rats thrive across the Buffalo Metro area. Our temperate climate suits them perfectly. These furry homewreckers are active year-round, with peak seasons in fall and spring.
Norway and roof rats are most common inside homes and buildings. House mice also invade indoors. Outside, muskrats and groundhogs dig destructive burrows.
As rats search for food, water and shelter, no home or business is off limits. Telltale signs of an infestation include:
- Droppings
- Chewed wires, wood, drywall or insulation
- Track marks and rub marks
- Burrows near foundations
- Rustling in walls and ceilings
- Odd smells
- Sightings, especially at night
Left unchecked, rats multiply exponentially. A single fertile female can birth up to 12,000 descendants in one year!
Don’t wait for the problem to get out of hand. At the first signs of rats, call Buffalo Exterminators to prevent a costly, damaging infestation.
Don’t let pests disrupt your life. Take the first step towards a pest-free home.
Why Extermination Beats DIY Rat Control
When rats invade, some homeowners attempt do-it-yourself removal using traps and poison baits. But these methods have serious downsides:
Traps:
- Must be strategically placed and frequently checked
- May not catch/kill enough rats to stop the infestation
- Can snap shut unexpectedly on fingers and paws
Poison Baits:
- Rat poison leaves toxic residue in your home
- Dead rats decompose inside walls, ceilings and other hard-to-reach spots
- Rats often die slowly outside, leading to bad smells
- Pets and wildlife can be poisoned by eating the dead rats
Our professional rat control employs smarter, safer methods to eliminate rats where they live and breed. Once inside your home or business, rats are secretive and reproducing rapidly. DIY measures won’t root them out completely.
Buffalo Exterminators’ rat removal experts have the cutting-edge tools, products and training for permanent, guaranteed results.

Rat Removal 101: What Happens During Professional Extermination?
When you select Buffalo Exterminators for rat control, here’s what you can expect:
In-Depth Inspection
The first step is a thorough inspection of your home or business. Our rat removal tech will check inside and outside for signs of infestation. This helps us understand:
- Where rats are entering
- How many there are
- Areas where they’re nesting and feeding
- What kind of rats you’re dealing with
Detailed inspections ensure we eliminate all the rats – not just visible ones. We’ll provide a full write-up of our findings and recommendations.
Strategic Baiting
Based on inspection results, our exterminator will strategically place bait traps and non-toxic baits inside your walls and other areas where rats are active. Traps allow us to gauge the size of the infestation. Specialized baits tempt rats out of hiding so they ingest our treatments.
Sealing Entry Points
Rodents keep coming back if they can still get inside. Our service includes sealing all cracks, holes and gaps where rats enter your home. This complements our treatments by denying them access. It also keeps new rats from invading.
Ongoing Prevention
We want to keep your home or business rodent-free for good. After removing an infestation, we’ll perform routine treatments and inspections to prevent rats from returning.
Many customers enroll in our prevention program for complete, long-term peace of mind. Ongoing service ensures if rats start sniffing around your property again, we’ll stop them immediately.
With Buffalo Exterminators’ proactive pest control, you can say goodbye to rats for good!
