Prevent It

No gnawing, no nonsense—from the start.

Rats move in fast, which is why we stay a step ahead with every visit. We seal up entry points and build stronger barriers each time to keep them out. If you notice activity between visits, we’ll be back at no extra cost to keep your home rat-free.

Know It

Breezy vs. Rats

Our Breezy Pros bring more than just traps to the job. With world-class training, years of hands-on experience, and a sharp eye for signs of activity, they know exactly how to stop rats in their tracks. From gnaw marks around the kitchen to nests tucked away in sheds, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to handle it fast. Best of all, we don’t just know pests—we know people. That means you’ll get top-tier service and real results with every visit.

Fall is here. We're ready.

As the leaves start to fall, pests start planning their move indoors. From spiders and roaches to sneaky rodents, cooler temps bring all the wrong kind of houseguests. That’s why fall protection matters — and why our Breezy Pros are already one step ahead. We know the patterns, the hideouts, and how to keep your home feeling just the way it should: pest-free and easy.

Signs you've got rats.

Droppings

Dark, pellet-shaped droppings near food, walls, or cabinets.

Strong odor

A stale, ammonia-like smell often lingers where rats are active.

Gnaw marks

Chewed wires, wood, or food packaging are a classic rat giveaway.

Scratching sounds

Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings after dark.

Helpful tips.

1. Seal entry points

Inspect doors, vents, and utility lines. Seal gaps with steel wool or caulk so rats can’t chew their way in.

2. Clean regularly

Sweep floors and wipe counters often. Food crumbs and spills are prime invitations for rats.

3. Store food properly

Keep pantry goods and pet food in airtight containers. Rats have sharp noses and can sniff out even small openings.

4. Keep garbage sealed

Use bins with tight-fitting lids and take trash out often to cut down on easy meals.

5, Reduce clutter

Stacks of boxes, paper, and other clutter give rats the perfect hiding and nesting spots. Keep storage areas neat.

6. Trim vegetation

Trim back shrubs, mow grass, and clear debris piles. A tidy yard makes your home less attractive to wandering rats.
