We tried EVERYTHING to get rid of a rat infestation in our backyard. Humane traps and natural solutions, then poison and eventually every kill trap ever made by humankind. Nothing worked (we'd kill 5 rats and see 10 more the next day) and the situation was getting worse by the week as they were clearly multiplying under my shed. It was awful and I had stopped using my backyard with my kids after an incident where two rats ran out IN DAYLIGHT and appeared unfazed by my nearby toddlers. It was horrifying and I called GTA Pest Control on the verge of tears. They immediately sent out Kevin, who calmly assessed the situation (rats under the shed/in the yard and also mice in the shed, which was an added bonus). He was very rational and pragmatic about it all - he listened to my panic/horror, assured me that this was something he could fix, and then put out some large black poison trap boxes, assuring me that it would work within 2 weeks. I was not at all convinced, since we'd been trying to kill the rats for months on end with no success, and the boxes looked like nothing. Lo and behold, within 2 weeks, the rats were gone. We went from seeing them constantly (they were literally all over my yard) to not seeing any at all. It was unbelievable. Kevin came back and checked on the poison boxes periodically, filled the tunnels the rats had dug and later followed up to make sure we hadn't had any new sightings. When we'd been rat-free for a few months, he took back the boxes at our convenience. It was the easiest service possible for us as consumers, with the best possible result, and Kevin was incredibly helpful. He did exactly what he said he would, came when he promised to, and followed up. I never thought I'd be so happy about a pest control company but I honestly cannot say enough good things. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I see a rat in my new home, I will 100% call Kevin.
