Rats like to be around humans, and the
reason why is clear—they want our food. Although humans frighten these
creatures, they are willing to go to great lengths to get extra food and
they know where to hide. Rats often hide out in the following places:
- Wood piles
- Empty spaces in basements or behind walls
- Vacant drawers in old furniture
How to Spot Rats
If you suspect you have rats hiding on
your property, do a thorough inspection of indoor and outdoor spaces. If
you see chewing marks on the wood or droppings, the rats may be hiding
there, but have vacated the area. Think of any empty spaces rats could
hide and look in all of those areas.
How to Keep Rats Away
Rats carry disease and are dangerous to
humans and animals. Take the following steps to make sure rats do not
take up residence on your property:
- Make sure all food is put away
- Plug up open spaces underneath your home
- Get rid of old furniture
Clean up pet food when it is not eaten
to prevent rats from becoming attracted to it. In addition, eliminate
all areas rats can nest and hide. Visit this website to learn more about
