Where Do Rats Like To Hide?
Rats do not like being seen. They want to live inside your home without interacting with you, your family, or your pets. To avoid interaction, they hide indoors. Due to their smaller size, most types of rats can crawl through wall and ceiling voids and hide inside and around storage boxes in attics and basements. Often these furry invaders chew holes through walls to make entry points into key areas indoors. These chew holes are just one of many signs of rats you might notice after an infestation begins. If you want extra help identifying these pests, we recommend bringing in our team. We will perform a thorough rodent inspection and inform you of our findings.
Are Rats In Anaheim Easy To Get Rid Of?
Rats are pests; there is no doubt about this. It doesn't mean, however, that everyone likes killing these furry rodents. Many people prefer humane control options over conventional rat traps. We also appreciate this at A-1 Bonded Termite, which is why we offer trap and release options to deal with rodent problems. If you want to control these pests on your own, this method is not something we recommend. Without the proper safety equipment and training, dealing with rats is dangerous. We would much prefer you stay safe and avoid interacting with these pests as much as possible. To get rid of rats without the risk, let our team help.
Five Ways To Deter Rats
If you don't currently have rats indoors, now is the time to put some prevention tips in place to keep them out. Here are five methods our team recommends.
- Seal up gaps, cracks, and other openings in your home's exterior foundation.
- Make sure all of your windows and doors are in good working condition and have weatherstripping, door sweeps, and screens.
- Thoroughly clean your living areas at least once a week and keep up with common chores.
- Store your leftovers, pet food, and pantry items inside rodent-proof containers.
- Invest in trash cans with tight-fitting lids.
