Roof rats, up high
The oak and pecan canopy over Highland, South Highlands, and Broadmoor hands roof rats a highway onto the roof, where they slip in at the soffits, fascia, roof vents, and old chimneys.

Rat help built for Shreveport homes
Get the rats out, then keep them out for good
If you need rat control in Shreveport, LA, you want two things: the rats gone now, and a house sealed up tight so they do not come straight back. That is the whole focus here. Roof rats and Norway rats behave differently, nest in different parts of the house, and take different work to stop, so a rat-focused plan beats a one-size treatment every time.
Call and describe what you are hearing, and an experienced rat technician sets a plan for the inspection. Once the nest zones, runways, and entry points are mapped, the traps go where the rats actually travel, the population gets knocked down, and the work is monitored until the noise stops. Then the roofline, vents, and foundation gaps get sealed so the next colony cannot follow the same path in.
Call 318-261-1815Norway rats, down low
Along foundations, sheds, and the damp, low ground near the Red River and the bayous, Norway rats burrow in and work their way into crawl spaces and the backs of cabinets.
Active all year
Our humid climate and mild winters mean the population never really dies off, and heavy rain slowly rots the wood trim that keeps rats out, opening new gaps every season.

Know the signs
Signs you have rats, not mice or something else
Rats leave a specific trail. If any of these sound like your home, it is worth a call before the population grows.
Scratching in the walls at night
A steady scratch or scurry overhead after dark almost always means rats are moving through the attic or wall voids.
Droppings along the baseboards
Dark, tapered pellets in the pantry, under the sink, or along a wall are a sign rats are feeding and traveling on a set path.
Gnaw marks on wires and wood
Fresh chew marks on wiring, joists, or food packaging point to an active rat problem and a real fire and damage risk.
Grease trails on the walls
Rats follow the same runways every night and leave dark, oily rub marks where their fur drags along studs and edges.
A musty, ammonia smell
A heavy, musky odor in the attic or along a wall usually means a nest, urine buildup, or a rat that has died in a hidden spot.
Rats seen in daylight
Seeing a rat during the day often means the population has grown enough that they are pushed out to forage in the open.

A clear plan
How rat control works, step by step
No mystery and no runaround. Here is the path from the first call to a rat-free, sealed-up home.
1
Call and describe the problem
Tell us what you are hearing and where. You get straight rat advice on the phone and a plan for the next step, day or night.
2
Full inspection
An experienced rat technician walks the attic, roofline, foundation, and yard to find the nest zones, the runways, and every way in.
3
Trap, remove, and treat
Traps go on the active runways, the population gets knocked down, and the work is monitored until the activity stops.
4
Seal and prevent
The soffits, roof vents, and foundation gaps that let rats in get sealed so the problem does not come straight back.
Why a rat-only focus matters
Rats are a different job than general pest control
A general pest route sprays a baseboard and moves on. Rats need something else: a climber that reads a roofline, finds the runways in an attic, and knows the difference between a roof rat nesting high and a Norway rat burrowing low. That is the work an experienced rat technician does, and it is the whole point of a rat-only approach.
It also means the fix lasts. Trapping without sealing just clears room for the next rats to move in along the same limbs and gaps. Sealing the soffits, roof vents, and foundation, and cutting back the branches that touch the roof, is what turns a short-term catch into a rat-free home.
- Roof rats and Norway rats identified and worked the right way
- Traps set on the real runways, not guesswork
- Entry points sealed so the problem does not repeat
- Attic cleanup and sanitizing where nests left a mess

Good to know
Rat control questions Shreveport homeowners ask
How much does rat control cost in Shreveport?
The price depends on how far the rats have spread, whether they are in the attic, walls, or crawl space, and how much sealing the house needs to keep them out. After an inspection you get upfront, no-surprise pricing before any work starts, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
How do I know if I have rats and not mice?
Rats leave larger droppings than mice, chew bigger holes, and make a heavier scratching or thumping sound in the ceiling at night. Roof rats travel the attic and rafters, while Norway rats stay low near the foundation and crawl space. A quick inspection settles it and points the work in the right direction.
How are rats getting into my attic?
In Shreveport, roof rats climb the oak and pecan canopy, then cross limbs, fences, and power lines onto the roof. From there they push through gaps at the soffits, fascia, roof vents, and uncapped chimneys, many of them opened up by years of humidity rotting the wood trim. Sealing those routes is the part that keeps them from coming back.
Are the rats in my house dangerous?
Rats gnaw wiring, which is a real fire risk, and they contaminate insulation and food with urine and droppings that carry disease. They also breed fast, so a small problem in the fall can be a full infestation by spring. That is why it pays to act on the first signs instead of waiting.
How fast can someone come out?
Call and describe what you are hearing and a plan gets set right away, day or night. For rats loose in the living space, ask about emergency rat removal so the situation gets handled quickly.
Do you handle rats only, or other pests too?
This is a rat and rodent focus, start to finish. Roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice are the whole job, which means the inspection, trapping, and exclusion are built around how rodents actually move through a Shreveport home, not squeezed in around a general pest route.
