Gilbert the Rat Man is the real deal. With years of experience as a licensed and insured pest control operator with specialty in rodent inclusion I am very impressed with his knowlege and services and plan on hire him. He was very responsive with intial visit. Do not be fooled by non- licensed companies that claim to be experts the Ratman is the real deal.
