AAAC Wildlife Removal can assist you with all of your rat control problems. Rats can enter your home though very small openings. If left uncontrolled the rat population can quickly grow, creating a serious rat infestation problem. When rats begin building their nest, you may hear scratching noises in your walls or ceiling and this is a sign of a serious rat problem. We are your local experts at rat trapping and rat extermination. Call us to take care of rat removal in Kansas City. We service the cities and towns of Overland Park, Leawood, Parkville, Lenexa, Independence, Liberty, Shawnee, Gladstone, Blue Springs, Kansas, KS. Call today for rat pest control at 913-728-6808 or 816-484-3496 Rat control and removal should begin as soon as the rodent has been discovered living in a home or business. Having rats in the home is a fire hazard due to their habit of chewing on electrical wiring. The wildlife professionals of Kansas City have the knowledge and training to get the job done quickly, in a professional and humane manner. Rats living in a home will contaminate it with droppings and urine. This may lead to serious health problems or exacerbate existing conditions, such as asthma. Removal of pest rats and their babies from a home or business is a process that should be performed by a wildlife professional. April and May is the usual time for the young to be born and sounds described as squeaking and scratching on walls and in the attic can be heard. There’s no need to panic, but it is best to act quickly. Getting rid of rats is a process that should be carried out by a wildlife professional. Those desiring to do it themselves often find that the situation is too hard to deal with. They often think that once they remove one rat that the problem is solved, not realizing that by the time one rat is seen, there are usually many more in the house. Removal and deodorization of a dead rat in your home or yard is a service that we provide. Rats do occasionally die in unusual places and they must be removed as soon as possible. Leaving the rat will only cause further damage to your home and attract other animals and insects. Another problem with having rats in your home is that they give off a smell that attracts other animals when they are alive. Usually when snakes are found in homes there are often signs of a rodent infestation. Call for AAAC Wildlife Removal for Kansas City Rat Removal at 913-728-6808 or 816-484-3496.

"Steve was very up front and honest when discussing his findings in our attic and did not try to sell me on any additional services that we did not need. We did NOT have a rat problem, contrary to what Joshua’s Pest said…or any other rodent problem…only very minimal bat activity that did not require any further remediation. I paid him for his service call, and that was it."

Animal removal services FAQs

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
