Rat Control 

Do You Need Rat Control?

It’s best to treat your rat problem as soon as possible. Rats can reproduce quickly, which makes them difficult to control. They can also enter homes rather easily through small holes or vents. They can get into your kitchen pantry or other food storage areas and contaminate your food. They can also gnaw holes in the wood of your structure. In some cases, rats will even chew electrical wiring, which can create a fire hazard.

Some homeowners try to eliminate these pests on their own. However, if you don’t know where to look for entry points, you may miss tiny holes that rats are using to access your structure. You can use rat poison or rat traps to kill rats, but these products can also harm humans and pests. It’s best to call an expert. Our technicians at Arete Pest Control are trained to look for signs of rodents on your property. They can also find holes through which rodents have entered and seal off those holes. We will handle the dirty work for you and give you peace of mind.

How to Prevent a Rat Infestation

To deter rats, you must eliminate their potential food sources. Clean up all food crumbs around your home. Keep your floors swept clean. Store food in containers that rats cannot easily chew through. Take out your kitchen trash as soon as it’s full or whenever you have smelly food inside your trash can. Keep a tight-fitting lid over your kitchen garbage to prevent rats from accessing it. You should also seal off any holes you find in your home. Rats can easily locate any existing small holes and gnaw on them to widen the holes and gain entry to a home. They can also enter a home through vents.

Homeowners sometimes attempt to eliminate rats by using certain smells. Some homeowners have had success by using peppermint, ammonia, vinegar and coffee grounds to deter rats. However, you will need to replenish and respray these odors if you want them to be effective against rats.

If you need help with rats, call Arete Pest Control. We can answer all of your rat control questions, seal off your home and exterminate the pests.
