Rat Infestations Can Put Your Home or Business at Risk

At Atlus Pest Solutions, we understand the importance of rat control. Rat infestations can pose health risks and cause property damage. It is crucial to take immediate action to prevent further infestations and protect your home or business. Rats carry diseases like leptospirosis, tularemia, and salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with droppings, urine, or bites. These diseases can range from mild to severe. Rat infestations can also cause damage to your property by gnawing through materials like wood, plastic, and electrical wiring. This can lead to structural damage, fires, and expensive repairs. Taking swift action can prevent further damage and save you money. Implementing preventative measures such as sealing cracks, storing food properly, and removing potential nesting sites is essential. 

Rat Control Tips - Post Removal

Rat control requires ongoing efforts to rat-proof your home and eliminate its food sources and habitats. Identifying and eliminating their food sources is crucial. Store food in secure containers and clean up spills promptly. Seal garbage cans tightly and remove accessible food packages or scraps. Eliminating potential rat habitats is equally important. Keep areas clean and organized. Seal cracks and holes in walls, floors, and pipes. Trapping or using poison bait may be necessary in some cases. Use snap traps with peanut butter safely and place them in appropriate locations. If using poison bait, place it in tamper-resistant bait stations.
