Note The Warning Signs
Rats’ presence can be easily confirmed through their dropping, puddles of urine, their hair, gnaw marks on the attic, furniture, shredded papers or clothes, and messy garbage areas. When rats are there, that means there are other pests like ticks, flies, and lice too. So, contact a rat removal professional if you see all these.
Do The Repairs
Rat control is more about prevention than treatment. Sealing up the interior and exterior walls and flooring can limit the rats in your home. Rats can squeeze their body; gnaw anything with their teeth to enter your property. So, make sure to fix all the repairs and keep your home unlikely for them.
Keep Your Garden Trimmed
Rats are professional climbers; especially Norway rats are serious climbers that can climb any tall tree that leads way to your abode. So, make sure to cut off any overgrown branches that fall on your roofline. Also, rats sneak through your tunnel as well.
Store Foods Properly
Use airtight containers to store food, so that rats find it hard to get into the kitchen and move away. Also, always make sure to maintain a clean and spill-free floor, so that rats don’t come inside to eat over the leftover crumbs or spilled food on the floor.
