Rats are larger, bolder, and more destructive than mice. XtermaPro provides professional rat extermination for homes and businesses across Toronto, Peterborough and the surrounding region.
Ontario is home primarily to the Norway rat a heavy-bodied rodent that burrows outdoors and nests in basements, crawl spaces, and along foundations. Roof rats are also present in urban areas, nesting higher up in attics and wall voids. Both are opportunistic and will exploit any entry point into your property.

Rats carry Leptospirosis, Rat-bite fever, Salmonella, and can transmit diseases through their urine and droppings. Their relentless gnawing damages structural elements and electrical wiring making rat infestations a serious fire and structural risk. They also introduce parasites like fleas and ticks into your home.
