Expert Rat Removal in Rochester, NY

Rats are a real problem for Rochester homeowners. Norway rats move indoors when temperatures drop, and Rochester winters push them hard toward warm basements, crawlspaces, and attics. Older housing stock common across Rochester gives rats plenty of entry points: foundation cracks, gaps around pipes, and damaged soffits. Once inside, rats chew wiring, contaminate insulation, and leave droppings that create health risks for your family. At JN Wildlife Solutions, we start with a full property inspection. We find where rats are entering, where they are nesting, and how far the activity has spread. From there, we set targeted traps, remove all rats, and seal every entry point we find. We also clean and sanitize affected areas so your home is safe after the work is done. If you are hearing scratching at night, finding droppings in your basement, or noticing gnaw marks on wood or wiring, call us. We serve Rochester and the surrounding Monroe County area. Get a free inspection and a clear plan to stop the problem.

Amazing experience! We had mice in our attic, and before we found JN Wildlife, we tried one of those typical pest companies. They did barely any exclusion and just relied on poison baits. That did not keep the mice out, and the poison was so inhumane. Thankfully we found JN Wildlife! They don’t use poison, and they seal up your house to keep the mice out completely. It’s been almost a year and we haven’t had any mice since. They also did a complete attic clean out, sanitization, and replaced the insulation. Truly a great experience, and would recommend them to everyone I know!

These brothers are the real deal. My wife was bugging me about a noise in the attic while we were sleeping, I even saw a squirrel in my living room while I was working from home. Called these guys up and they gave me a free quote, and once I accepted, they treated my roof and my foundation. They are super professional and even more so, they are very personable. I hope I don’t have to hire them again, but if I hear any noises, these guys are on speed dial!

I called Wildlife Solutions when I heard a strange noises in the attic. They investigated and found evidence of bird nests. They quickly and efficiently cleaned and sanitized my attic. We have not heard anymore noises coming from the attic. They did an excellent job and we are grateful that we decided to call their business.

After multiple attempts by another company, JN Wildlife was able to successfully fix our bat issue in a 180 year old brick building in a matter of hours. They were great to work with- quick, thorough, knowledgeable, and fair pricing. I have nothing but great things to say and would use them again in a heartbeat.

We had some issues with bats in the upstairs of our 2 story house. After getting quotes from a couple companies for bat exclusion, JN Wildlife came in at a great value for the scope of work. They were quick to get the job done and we have not had bats in the house since they conducted their work! It's been over a year, so that's a good sign. Thanks!
