Unlike some other exterminators who might push rat poison because it’s quick and cheap, we take a different stance. We’re not fans of that method, and here’s why: Rat poison doesn’t just harm rats; it can hurt owls, raccoons, and other animals up the food chain when they eat poisoned rats. And that’s not all – those rats that do ingest poison can end up dying in your walls or crawl space insulation. Imagine the hassle of trying to find and remove those critters! It’s not a pretty picture and can leave your place stinky for quite some time. There’s also a growing resistance to rat poison, which can lead to more rats rather than less. So, let’s be real: rat poison isn’t kind to the environment, it’s no friend to your walls, and it becomes less effective over time.
