Hello All, Our firm recently took over a property that has a rat problem like I have never seen. We have a 2 flat with a crawl space and when I sent our plumber down there to repair a sewer issue he sent me pictures of 15-25 rat burrows under this building and he saw them all retreat into the burrows when they shined light on it. I want to eradicate this issue fast so I am looking for any referrals for someone that has extreme solutions to solve this ASAP! Thanks!
Thank you in advance!

Any good pest management company will take care of it. I would expect more than 1 visit to be sure they got them all. Can you describe the area around the property? Are they in the houses nearby too?
Extreme solution like set it on fire and run?

Good day mark-
Rats tend to go after dry cat food. This trap has worked wonders for me before
