Roof rats are more than just unpleasant. They also pose a variety of health risks and can even cause property damage.
Here’s how you can protect your property from these agile, high-climbing pests.
- Watch for signs of infestation. The roof rat loves high places, so it can sometimes be difficult to spot signs of their presence. When they do move in low places, they tend to hug the walls and can leave oily marks behind. Droppings are another potential indicator. Listen closely at night, and you might hear their scratching coming from your attic.
- Understand roof rat behavior. Roof rats make their nests in high places, making your attic a tempting location. They’ll make their home there and then sneak onto your main level to track down fruits, nuts, pet food, and anything else they can get their paws on.
- Know when to call our team. If you have any reasons to suspect roof rats, you should reach out to our team sooner rather than later. We’ll inspect your property and can provide a variety of integrated pest management solutions to tackle your unique situation.
- Take preventive action against the roof rat. You can help prevent infestations in the first place by trimming tree branches away from your home to limit access to your roof. Keep food stored in sealed containers to avoid attracting roof rats and a range of other pests.
