Found someone on the Nextdoor app who had good reviews and decided to send him a message. Was not familiar with Thumbtack, but was pleasantly surprised when the app offered to send my message to other professionals. I agreed.
Within moments Frank, one of the other professionals, called me and we discussed my issue with a rat invasion in my garage. We discussed different aspects of what was going on and it became clear to me that Frank knew what he was doing in this scary new world. He came out the next day. He knew immediately where they were and had a plan. I felt very comfortable with his plan; he even offered his help with some drywall that needed to be replaced after a previous water issue and included all that in our plan. And the drywall had nothing to do with how the rats were getting in! His pricing- very reasonable. He came back the next day to clean the area, set traps and block any entrances.
He will be back on Monday to check the traps. And will continue checking until they are totally gone. You cannot find a more knowledgeable, hard working professional in this business! If you have a rat problem, call Rat Specialist Frank. He is amazing!!

Five stars for Frank at Rat Specialists. He arrived right on time, was incredibly thorough, and actually took the time to investigate what was happening. He located and removed a rat nest, filled in the burrow on my patio, and explained what he was finding and doing along the way.
What really stood out to me was Frank’s kindness and empathy. I have a genuine fear of rats stemming from experiences I’ve had with them from childhood through adulthood, and having them around my home has been extremely stressful. Frank understood that immediately. He took my concerns seriously without making me feel embarrassed or as though I was overreacting, which meant a lot to me.
After some frustrating experiences trying to get this problem properly addressed, Frank was a breath of fresh air. He was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, he did the work that needed to be done.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frank and Rat Specialists to anyone dealing with a rodent problem. I finally felt like I had someone there who understood the problem, knew what to do about it, and genuinely cared about helping me.

I had a great experience with Rat Specialists. We were facing an issue with rodents and once I spoke to this company it was like I didn’t have to worry about this issue and it was in good hands. The technician came the same day and offered a good plan and a very reasonable quote. I would highly recommend the Rat Specialists.

Frank was incredible. Great communication and responsiveness. He came out and removed a dead opossum from under our house and then secured the opening to prevent future issues. He went above and beyond, 10/10, 5 stars, 100% would recommend.
