Complete packrat damage repair for chewed wires, destroyed components, and full sanitation of droppings and nesting material.
Packrats are one of the most destructive pests for outdoor grills across the greater Phoenix area — and unlike many pests, they are active year-round. They nest inside grills at any time of year and chew through wiring harnesses, ignition cables, rubber hoses, and insulation — sometimes causing gas leaks or complete electrical failure. Beyond the mechanical damage, packrat droppings, urine, and nesting debris create serious health and fire hazards. Our technicians fully inspect for damage, replace all chewed wiring and affected components, and perform a thorough sanitation of the entire grill interior.

Open your grill and look inside the lower cabinet and around the burner area. Signs include shredded material (insulation, fabric, plant debris), small dark droppings, a musky odor, and visibly chewed wires or hoses. If you see any of these, do not attempt to light the grill until it has been inspected.
No — not until it has been professionally inspected. Chewed gas hoses can cause dangerous leaks, and damaged ignition wiring can arc and ignite nesting material. Have the grill inspected and repaired before use.
Yes, that is included in our packrat damage service. We remove all nesting material, droppings, and biological debris and sanitize the interior. We handle it properly so you don't have to.
Packrats are active year-round in the Phoenix area, so prevention is an ongoing effort — not just a seasonal one. We recommend using a fitted grill cover, placing peppermint-soaked cotton balls inside the grill between uses (replace monthly), and keeping the grill area free of food debris. Regular inspections every few months can catch new activity before it becomes expensive damage.
