The Rat Problem in the Greater Toronto Area
Rats are more than just a nuisance – they’re a serious health and safety hazard for Toronto residents and business owners. As the city grows, so does its rat population, making professional pest control services more crucial than ever.
Health Risks Associated with Rat Infestations
- Disease Transmission:
- Leptospirosis
- Salmonellosis
- Hantavirus

- Contamination: Rats can contaminate food and surfaces with their urine, feces, and fur.
Structural Damage Caused by Rats
