Rat Prevention and What Attracts Them

The best way to avoid rats is to keep them out. However, it can be harder than it looks. Rats can squeeze into tiny openings. If their heads can fit, they can get through a hole. Part of our job is to inspect potential openings and close them up.

Several things can attract rats. You may have heard that rats like dirty homes. While it is true that they like available food and water sources, which may be more likely in dirty homes, rats are possible in even clean homes. One of the biggest contributing factors is nearby construction. If there is construction in your area, then rats are going to be displaced. Where will they go? Your house if they can get in it!
