Jason Lee from Mr. Pack Rat came to my house yesterday to do an inspection. I can't say enough nice things about him. I wasn't home when he came so I called him. He was polite, incredibly patient with me and did an excellent job inspecting my house! It's rare these days to get such an incredible and knowledgeable person. Thank you, Jason!!!!! read more

Pretty terrible. Made useless repairs that only plugged some of the holes. Put out snap traps that killed birds. Would not recommend or use again. read more

Love Mr Pack Rat! Matt came out for initial visit on a Monday, then the traps were set the following Monday. Matt's team did a great job - took out old cactus (but left me some pads for replanting), and did a beautiful job deconstructing and rebuilding my wood pile. These guys are experts and worth every cent. Do yourself a favor, don't let your exterminator "take care" of your pack rat issue. I did, and it was a waste of money. I highly recommend Mr. Pack Rat. read more

Very reliable and took care of Mr Rat actually 2.. Wendell did so much for us!! Great Service's highly recommend read more

New to the area but we had read a lot about pack rats and their behaviors. When I noticed a chewed hole in outdoor stucco, I did not want to delay. A nice woman asked a few questions and set up the appointment for a few day later. (A no-charge inspection appointment which I was happy about.). The specialist who came out was named Wendell and he was awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly and took care of our rodent problem over the course of 4 days. Set and emptied traps and fixed and caulked any openings he found. We felt the price was very fair and would not hesitate to call Mr. Pack Rat again (although I hope we don't have to). Thank you, Wendell! read more

When we first noticed we had packrats entering our home, I tried to fix the problem myself. I grew to regret that decision. After failing to eradicate them I called in Mr Pack Rat, and they had the varmints eliminated in several days. They found the point of entry, trapped the rats that had entered our home, and patched the entry point with hardware cloth to prevent further gnawing. The technician was knowledgeable and very professional. After about a year we noticed gnawing sounds at night again. We immediately called out Mr Pack Rat, and they affirmed that the original patch was still holding. This inspection was done at no charge. A few days later I found the new entry point (see photo). The tech came out, trapped for several days and affirmed that no rats were left inside the walls. I like the fact that they are able to work independently, particularly on return visits. You don't have to be home when they do their work. This makes scheduling a lot easier. We have used a lot of contractors for landscaping, home repair, etc. and we find Mr Pack Rat one of the best to deal with. I really like their website with the online work request and billing. Really makes it easy. read more

Mr Pack Rat - Hole gnawed by pack rats in our home - Pest Control Near Me

My vehicle parked outside in driveway suffered costly rodent damage. Eric came out from Mr Pack Rat within 2 days of calling for free inspection and immediately found pack rat nest in a large rosemary bush right next to my driveway. Very knowledgeable, easy to work with, inspected the rest of my property for other rodent issues. His team returned within the week, set traps, caught the offender, removed the bush and nest, and cleaned up the landscaping, all for $190. Very pleased with their work! read more

These are the pack rat experts! Did an assessment of our property to understand where our pack rat problems were and what could be done about the problems. He was open about dealing with the pack rats in the spanish roofing tile, and that they cannot garuntee the work because they could not find the entry point into the house. What resulted was setting traps and cleaning up the nest. The next morning the trap had a packrat, and since then we have not heard one in our house. He was meticulous with the cleaning, and was flexible to work around my schedule (showing up at 6am to check traps). He gave us the knowledge and details we need to help keep our property pack rat free. The invoice was perfectly reasonable, and they do not collect fees until the pack rat infestation is resolved. read more

Pack rats are part of the deal when you live alongside a wash area, and though we love spotting their middens along the trail, we're not quite as enthusiastic when the occasional rat tries to nest alongside the structure of our home. We had to remove a rat's nest again this week, and we never hesitate to call Mr. Pack Rat to do the work. Their office and field employees have always super responsive, professional, and thorough - and this recent service call was no exception. I should add that if you're new to desert-living, it's very important to know that you should NEVER, EVER use poison granules or 'bait' to kill pack rats -- it's a practice that inevitably & ruthlessly moves up the food chain and harms or kills the owls, hawks, bobcats, and other predators in our area. Mr. Pack Rat will come out and *live trap* & remove the rats -- PLUS they carefully remove any nest areas to discourage other rodents from using the same spot. In this most recent round, the MPR agent dug out a problem nest from one area, and carefully trimmed around a spiny, flowering bush to remove all the nest remnants underneath. They will also help you 'rat-proof' tempting nest spots (in our case - under a spa & our HVAC system) and flag areas that might be a possible concern in the future. Their service has always been worth every cent - don't hesitate to give them a call! read more

Mr Pack Rat - Mr. Pack Rat customers don't have to deal at all with the traps..this pic was for a friend who wanted to see how the live trap works! - Pest Control Near Me

We had noticed pack rat activity and had a landscaper clean up our yard. Another pest company had been hired and done some work, but it was not enough. After unsuccessful attempts to contact previous company, I set up a meeting with Mr Pack Rat on the website, which was quite easy and convenient. The Mr Pack Rat website is full of helpful information, too. Mr Pack Rat called when he was close, which I appreciate. He walked around our property with me and made some suggestions. After I set up the meeting and before Mr Pack Rat came over, the previous company came out and fortified their earlier work. I thought about cancelling, but we decided it would be a good idea to get a second opinion. The agent that came out was friendly and knowledgeable. He just happened to have a live specimen in a trap to show me. And gave some small pieces of screen to protect our pool heater. He did not even charge me for the visit! read more

I had a pack rat nest next to my pool pump, Mr Pack Rat was recommended. There was a nest formed because I left a pool filter out, I was told they would set a trap & remove all the materials. 1 trap set, next day he came out, took away the nest material & the rat but threw the pool filter over a small wall 2 feet from where it was, then set 2 more traps, came back the next day and took them away. Yes they caught 3 pack rats & took them away but another nest could easily be built from the same filter that was left. I am to pay $165 for 2 traps set up, maybe 20 minutes to remove nest material. If I knew that was all he would do I could have done it myself. Would not recommend or get in writing exactly what he was going to do. UPDATE: I have changed from 1 star to 5 stars for being a business that really does care about their customers satisfaction and I appreciate the owner, kris, reaching out to me. Thank you again read more

Great experience. We had been trying to get rid of, what we thought was one, pack rat for months. We called the pros and they found we had more like 7 pack rats! They laid traps, then cleaned out the nest areas, and then set up fencing and barriers to prevent the return of the pack rats. They offer a warranty on their work as well. Great service, professional, and worth having this family-owned professional take care of the issue humanely. Highly recommend. read more

I am very impressed with this company. Pack Rats are a big, expensive problem in Tucson and garage infestation had gotten out of control. Eric showed up on time and explained alot about their habits that I was'nt aware of. He showed me where they enter, what deterrents DON'T Work (Rid a Rat), where to set traps and how to seal the area up. I was getting overwhelmed with these creatures and now I feel confident I can eliminate them from the garage. He told me he could do the job or I could do it. No hard sell. I can do it. Dirty work but easy. When I asked him the charge he said no charge. Will, most certainly, recommend and use them again. read more

Great Work and very affordable. I called Mr. Pack Rat to help with a problem with some type of Animal in the Crawl space of one of our Senior Clients homes. She said she kept hearing noises on the roof. Whatever type of animal that was in the crawl space of her ceiling had chewed a hole into her bathroom. After many calls to many different companies. Mr. Pack Rat answered the phone and was out within a couple of days to see if they could solve the problem. They really made Lu feel at ease that they were finally going to take care of it. They did just that. Their professionalism, expertise and diligence in catching two rock squirrels that were causing all kinds of havoc was amazing. What determination they had in making several visits to trap them. Each time they were patient and courteous to Lu who is a 96 year old senior that lives alone and was quite scared of the damage they were causing. They always kept me and Lu informed of what was happening. I would highly recommend Eric and his Team at Mr. Pack Rat. read more

This is a first rate company. I hired them to remove a number of pack rat nests on our property. They are professional and honest. The gentleman (Eric) who came to do the estimate was knowledgeable and personable. The gentlemen who came to do the work (Matt, Joaquin, and Paul) were hard working and extremely competent. They worked tirelessly and diligently despite some very hot days! They were also polite and very attentive to my questions and requests. Finally, Dulaine who answered the phone was efficient and professional, always giving me good information about my service. From the quality of these workers, it is obvious this is a well-run company with excellent management at the top. I hope my pack rat problem is under control, but if/when it comes to additional services, I will definitely by calling Mr. Pack Rat in Tucson. read more

Poor customer service. I hired this company to trap rodents and he said he did and I paid for his services, but I still have rodents and rodent feces. When I called and spoke to him about his situation he was rude and unprofessional. read more

I very much appreciate the team at mr pack rat. I had them come to my home following a "definitely you have pick rats" from AZ pest control. The team was very thorough. Checking under shrubs, around the ac unit, and every hole in the yard. All to come to the conclusion that a pack rat had just passed by and no nest was made. They recommended I spray pine sol in the yard to neutralize the area and that's it. They didn't charge me nor did they try to up-sell. If I ever have an issue in the future I'd definitely recommend and use mr pack rat. read more

They are pleasant, and do a thorough job, cleaning up the nests and removing the debris after trapping the rats. Kris has been out to our five acres several times over the last five years (we are on five acres out in the wilds). He is completely trustworthy, we don't have to be there, but he still does a great job. read more

I would give this company a 10 if I could based on the service that Eric provided. We had pack rats under our pool heater, plus we have a dog so we didn't want to put out poison or traps. We called Mr. Pack Rat and they were able to come within a few days. Set up a "catch" trap with a "dog box" on top of it to keep our pet from getting into it. When he came back the next day he had caught two large Pack Rats. Set up another trap to be sure, then after another day, he came back and installed a metal grid barrier around the base of our pool heater but left a small opening. He saw evidence that a smaller critter had entered the trap and was able to sneak out of the box (indicating a smaller animal). He will return in a few days to see if he caught anything else and then he will close up the barrier around the heater equipment. He told us what to watch for and how to keep from providing hiding place for these little critters. Highly professional, efficient, friendly, called every time he was on his way, and I believe the service he provided was above and beyond the price that we paid. I give Eric and Mr. Pack Rat a 10 easily. read more

Mr. Pack Rat's owner, Kris, just completed an inspection and consultation at my home, and I could not be more impressed with his expertise and professionalism. He clearly has extensive knowledge of pack rat biology and behavior, and he is a patient and skillful communicator. In the course of a very thorough inspection, he identified a number of places where rats could potentially gain entry to the house, and he gave me clear and detailed instructions on how to implement some fairly simple corrective measures. He also advised me on how to make outdoor areas that are sometimes visited by rats less attractive to them, and on how to rat-proof our hot tub. I am confident that by following his directions I will be able to prevent an infestation from occurring, but if I ever do have a nest that needs to be removed, I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Pack Rat. I recommend this company without reservation to anyone who has a pack rat issue of any kind. I'll add that the company's website is a valuable resource in its own right. If you think you might have a pack rat problem, or just want to do everything you can to avoid having one, be sure to check it out - there's a wealth of very helpful information there. read more

After discussing my issues with the manager at Mr. Pack Rat, they came out and trapped 5 more rats and removed 5 new nests they found at no additional cost to me. I now have to give them the very highest rating. They really know what they're doing. read more

Purchased a new home and after closing we found out that we had a pack rat issue (the little critters ate through hundreds of dollars of wiring on our pool equipment, which of course had to be replaced). Mr. Pack Rat's crew came right out and assessed the problem and provided immediate resolution. They expertly trapped 2 very large rats at 2 nest sites. Destroyed and removed nests and debris and installed preventative screening roof and BBQ. They also showed me areas in which I need to have some bushes trimmed and debris moved out of the way. I will continue to have Mr. Pack rat come out every six months just to be sure we don't have any new nests. Awesome company and crew and I highly recommend hiring them for your pack rat issues. read more

Chris is your go to guy to take care of your pack rats. This family run business provides honest and skilled service, a rare combination that everyone looks for. Now you've found it! Thanks Chris for your years of attention. read more

HONEST. INTEGRITY. FRIENDLY. KNOWLEDGABLE. These are just a few of the words I would use to describe Mr. Packrat. I usually don't do Yelp reviews but my experience with Mr. Packrat was so extraordinary that I felt inclined to leave a review. I would definitely use them again (although hopefully I won't have to). read more

Absolutely professional and expedient service ! Within 24 hours they were trapped and the nest removed ! Very reasonably priced also. Another company wanted 1 1/2 times more for the same job ! Do not hesitate to call these guys to get rid of those pesky critters ! read more

We had several pack rat infestations, one under a shed, another under our A/C units and a couple of more behind and near the house in the wash. We contacted Mr Pack Rat, and their technician,Wendell, came within just a few days. He set the traps at the shed and A/C units, returned the next day, collected the trapped critters and laid hardware cloth screening around the units to prevent further nesting. After watching how it was done, I volunteered to screen the base of the shed following Wendell's direction. It's been over a month with no recurring pack rat problems. The other two nests in the wash were similarly taken care of and all the nest debris hauled away. These Mr Pack Rat folks know what they're doing. Very professional, friendly and providing a great education on the habits of the pack rat. I was thoroughly impressed and they are now my "pack rat people" :) Highly recommend Mr Pack Rat to everyone. read more

If you have pack rats, Mr. Pack Rat's Service is the one to use, hands down! The website is amazing and gives much information about pack rats and prevention. I highly recommend the Deterscape service as it keeps pack rats to a minimum and if any are found, they are trapped and removed under the service agreement. I also just had an issue with being left off of their deterscape rotation list, and my contract was immediately extended and a technician was out to the house in the next couple of days dealing with one pack rat nest that had appeared on the property. Also, you DO NOT want pack rat nests on your property as they attract rattle snakes and "kissing bugs" (triatomine bugs, a type of reduviid bug that can carry Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease). Chagas disease can be contracted by humans and pets. If you don't know about this infection, you should definitely look it up and make sure that you don't have "kissing bugs" around your property. In addition, my standard poodle got bit by a rattle snake that was attracted to a pack rat nest near my walled, snake fenced, back patio when I first moved to Tucson. Luckily, I realized immediately what had happened and took the dog for anti-venom and all was well, but it was a good reminder not to be too careful about removing pack rat nests especially where pets roam. I called Mr. Pack Rat immediately and have been working with his services for the past 4 years and have been very satisfied. I recommend Mr. Pack Rat's services highly and without reservation. read more

My business with Mr. Pack Rat concluded 8/7/15, and I was amazed at the knowledge, thoroughness, and detail of Kris (owner) and his staff. Besides solving the problem, Matt gave advice on preventing future problems. The website is very helpful too. I believe the price was very fair. I will be recommending them to friends and neighbors without any hesitation. read more

We bought a home in the Cat. Foothills several months ago and discovered that we have 7 pack rat nests in our small yard! We called Mr. Pack Rat because they effectively and humanely trap and dispose of pack rats. Matt was our main contact, who gave us a reasonable estimate and then successfully trapped 8 pack rats in two days. Matt did an excellent job ensuring that we were completely satisfied with their service, which we are. Additionally, we found the MrPackRat.com website to be extremely informational. Watch the video on the home page. It is creative, informative and well done. We recommend Mr. Pack Rat to anyone facing pack rat problems. read more

I am forever grateful to Mr. Pack Rat for solving my rat control problem, and only sorry I didn't call them sooner. After hearing rats on my roof for two months, and visits from two top pest control companies and a roofer, only Kris Brown, owner of Mr. Pack Rat, found the evidence immediately. He showed me where the rats were running up to my roof, found their nest under the tiles, explained how they built it, drew me a diagram, took photos, and emailed me the photos with his detailed report. The removal and exclusion job was done in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. His technician, Zach, did a terrific job, and Delane in the office was helpful and informative as well. These people know rats and roofs! If you have an unresolved rat problem, call them immediately. read more
