Rats are intelligent creatures. They are explorers and are violently intent on protecting what they see as their territory. You may already have rats that have gotten into your house. If that is the situation then there are things you can do to stop the situation in its tracks.
Rats have the capability to transfer up to 35 different viruses through their urine and feces. To have rats removed contact rat removal service Whitby for permanent eradication.
Getting rid of sewer rats is not as hard as you would think. You can always call your local pest control company, or you can try setting snap traps on your own, though it won’t be as effective as a professional, commercial-grade attack on the rat community in your house.
You can also try sticky traps but be warned if more than one rat gets caught they will start cannibalizing each other. The appearance is quite nauseating. I would recommend avoiding using sticky traps for rats and mice.
It’s important to remember that if sewer rats have been in your house for a long period they will already know the paths and routes to gain food and water. If they come across a new object in their daily route they will always be paranoid about the object. That is one major reason rats are so hard to catch. They may avoid poisons, snap traps and even sticky pads. It requires a lot of effort and focuses to get rid of rats in your home without professional help. It may not be enough as rats will get in faster than you can kill them.
Make sure to check around your house for openings and cracks in the foundation and walls. Rats can enter even tiny holes, very easily by compacting their body. This makes it very hard to seal up any openings as even tiny ones will let a rat enter your home.
Rats are also capable of digging down into the ground up to three feet so make sure to seal your basement and protect your garden.
A great way to attract sewer rats is to leave out the dog or cat food. It’s literally a delicacy for them. Seal your trash into a locked metal garbage can and clear away any crumbs or food from everywhere both inside and outside of your house.
