RAT CONTROL

4 STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL RAT CONTROL PROGRAM

Step 1. Trap and eliminate all rats.
Please understand that this is only part of a successful rat control
program. AWC will set rat traps in strategic places to quickly trap any
rats currently present in your attic. We will then return to check the
traps and remove any that were caught as well as reset new traps. The
process usually takes 3 to 5 visits though in rare instances where larger
rat populations are present, extra visits may be necessary. We normally
space our visits by one or two days excluding weekends. After our initial
inspection, during the trapping process, all remaining visits will usually
only require our needing access to those areas where traps are set. The
trapping process ends when AWC is certain that there are no more rats.

Step 2. Identify all areas of entry and sealing them off.
This step is crucial to prevent future rodent infestation and may be
necessary to ensure our guaranty. We are experts at not only finding
the areas that rats may currently be using to enter your home, but also
at identifying any areas that may be vulnerable for other rats to gain
access in the future. AWC will supply you with an estimate to rodent
proof or seal off these areas. In rare instances, some areas in need of
sealing off may require a roofing contractor or other specialist.

Step 3. Remove accessible droppings.
Though somewhat rare, rat droppings do pose a very real possibility of
transmitting diseases to humans. When practical, AWC will remove any
accessible clusters of rat droppings from solid surfaces using a
high-powered vacuum equipped with a Hepa filter. Some reasons why
this step may be skipped are, for instance, if the attic is inaccessible or if
you have blown in or cellulose insulation. In either case, we strongly
recommend that you always have AWC perform step 4. If this step is
practical according to the conditions present in your attic, AWC will
include this item in your estimate.

Step 4. Decontaminate, disinfect and deodorize attic with
VirKon and BioShield.
Please do not overlook or underestimate the importance of this step.
Fact: Rat droppings are biohazardous waste and could pose a health
risk! AWC uses a high tech fine mist electronic atomizer to dispense
VirKon into your attic to minimize this risk. VirKon is a non-toxic
broad-spectrum disinfectant used widely in the hospital and biosafety
industries to neutralize airborne and surface bacterial, fungal and viral
contaminants. Absolute Wildlife Control utilizes a high tech electronic
atomizer to convert VirKon from its liquid form into a super fine mist or
fog. The atomized mist or fog works perfectly to permeate hard to reach
areas of your attic ensuring thorough coverage to minimize any potential
health risks associated with rats and their biohazardous wastes.

Finally, Absolute Wildlife Control will deodorize your attic with BioShield.
BioShield is a non-toxic enzyme based odor counteractant that serves a
very important purpose. It neutralizes odors created by rat droppings
and any other wastes they have left behind. BioShield also prevents and
eliminates odors produced from Biodeterioration. Even though
short-term rat inhabitance with very few droppings may not have odors
that are detectable to humans, these odors are detectable to other rats
looking for a place to live and mate, therefore, they must be addressed!
Though BioShield comes in liquid form, the electronic atomizer converts it
to a fine mist or fog. The atomized fog works perfectly to permeate hard
to reach areas of your attic, ensuring thorough coverage.

AWC normally offers a 1 year guaranty for rats however, we will
extend the guarantee an additional year if we perform all of these
steps.
