Why Roof Rat Infestations Are Surging in St. George Neighborhoods

April 30, 20261 min read

St. George is growing fast. And so is its rat population.

Exterminators across Southern Utah are reporting a surge in roof rats - a non-native, aggressive species that moved in with the development and spread fast through high-density neighborhoods.

They're not coming for dirty homes. They're coming for water, warmth, and easy entry - especially during a dry year like this one.

We got a call from a homeowner near a golf course community in Washington County. They had a pest control company already. Still had rats.

The issue? The stations were placed wrong, and two entry points on the exterior had never been found.

We repositioned everything, sealed the gaps, and the problem stopped.

Not every company inspects first. We do. Always.
