Fountain Rat Control
Rat Control in Fountain and South El Paso County
Rats are less common than mice in the Pikes Peak region, but Fountain sees them around sheds, chicken coops, feed and along the creek. We serve Fountain every week. Call or text (719) 465-4818 for a fast price.

Rats in Fountain Homes and Yards
The rats we find in Fountain are almost always Norway rats. They burrow along foundations, under sheds and slabs, and in thick brush near drainage areas and Fountain Creek. They are much bigger than mice, and the signs are bigger too: large droppings, chewed holes and burrows in the dirt.
Rats follow food. Chicken feed, bird seed, pet food, dog runs, compost and open trash are the most common reasons they settle on a property. From there they move into garages, sheds and crawl spaces, especially when it turns cold.
We handle rat control for Fountain homes with tamper-resistant bait stations placed where rats travel, plus follow-up visits to confirm the activity is gone. Baiting is what gets rid of them, and the follow-up keeps them gone. We're running a winter promo right now, so call or text us for today's price.

September to October: Rats and mice start moving toward garages and crawl spaces as nights cool.
November to February: Peak season indoors, in garages, sheds and crawl spaces.
Before We Arrive
Simple Steps for Fountain Homeowners
Store chicken feed, bird seed and pet food in metal cans with tight lids, and pick up spilled feed every evening.
Keep wood, brush and stored items off the ground and away from the house and shed so rats have fewer places to burrow.
Do not sweep or vacuum droppings. Spray them with a disinfectant first, wear gloves, and wipe them up. Then call or text us and we will take it from there.

Other Areas We Serve
How do I know if it is rats or mice?
Rat droppings are much bigger, about the size of a raisin or larger, and rats leave burrows and bigger chewed holes. Tell us what you are seeing and we will sort it out.
How fast can I get a price?
Call or text (719) 465-4818 and tell us what you are seeing and where. We reply with a clear price and book a time that works for you.
Is it safe around pets and chickens?
We use tamper-resistant bait stations placed where rats travel, and we will walk you through where everything is placed.
Will sealing alone stop rats?
No. Sealing helps, but sheds, slabs and crawl spaces always leave a way in. Baiting is what gets rid of rats, and follow-up visits keep them gone.
