I would like to report on my RAT Problem and Solution! I went with Gopher and Pest Solutions, Berle Simpson 858-325-9825.
He is a local Serra Mesa business owner that does all his own work. You text him, and he responds. Free quotes. He was super friendly, highly knowledgeable, punctual and responsive. I would definitely recommend 100%. Also, less than half the price of ANY other quote! He caught 15 rats over 9 visits (usually only takes 2-4)! And they are finally all gone and cannot get back in. One rat even chewed a hole through a metal grate! There was a nest in the garage, they were in the Attic, the crawl space, and the walls. If you need any rat or gopher control, Berle is your guy, he does exclusion work so they can't get in, sets traps, and eliminates them without poison. He will also do monthly service if necessary for outdoor services.
I went through 8 different companies and recommendations. See below:
