At Get Out! Critter Exclusion & Carpentry, we provide professional rat and weasel control services using a strategic multi-phase approach designed to eliminate active infestations and prevent future intrusion. Our process combines structural exclusion, behavioral conditioning, targeted trapping, and long-term sealing solutions to deliver effective and lasting results.

We begin with a comprehensive inspection and gap sealing process focused on eliminating known and potential entry points commonly used by rats and weasels. Areas of concern may include foundation transitions, sill plates, utility penetrations, crawlspace openings, and other vulnerable lower-level access points around the structure.

Before active trapping begins, we perform a pre-baiting phase using unset traps. This process allows animals to become familiar with bait and trap placement, helping reduce trap avoidance behavior and improving capture effectiveness once trapping is activated.

During the trapping phase, traps are strategically placed based on observed activity, nesting behavior, travel routes, and species-specific patterns. Traps are monitored and adjusted throughout the service period to ensure proper population reduction and continued effectiveness.

Most rat and weasel control projects require a minimum of four site visits to allow for pre-baiting, active trapping, monitoring, exclusion work, and final confirmation that all wildlife activity has ceased and access points have been permanently secured.

We proudly provide rat and weasel control services throughout Washington, Warren, Saratoga, Essex, Albany, Schenectady, and Rensselaer counties in New York, along with Addison, Rutland, and Bennington counties in Vermont.
