Identifying & Eliminating Rat Infestations in The Tri-Cities
The common biting pests affecting homes and pets in Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport—and how our local experts eliminate them.
In Johnson City and across the Tri-Cities, rats are more than a nuisance—they’re destructive and unsanitary. They squeeze through small openings, nest in attics/crawlspaces, and often go unnoticed until you hear scratching at night, find droppings, or smell strong odors. Our mix of older homes, wooded edges, and seasonal temperature swings can push rats indoors for shelter, warmth, and food.
Norway Rats: Common around foundations, crawlspaces, garages, and lower levels. They burrow, travel along walls, and often target trash areas and stored food.
Roof Rats: More likely to use higher entry points. They can nest in attics, move along rooflines/utility lines, and contaminate insulation.
At Pest Detectives Pest Control, we don’t just “set a trap and leave.” We inspect, remove rats, and address the entry points and conditions that allow them to return.
