Rats are instinctively wary of rat control measures such as traps and bait, and colonize in attics, burrows, under concrete and porches, in wall voids and other hard to reach places.
Disease
Rats can harbor and transmit a number of serious diseases. They can also introduce disease-carrying parasites such as fleas, lice and ticks into your home.
Norway Rat
The Norway Rat, more commonly known as Brown Rat, is a common pest that invades homes in Michigan. Rats are mostly harmless and easily removed, but prevention is the key to reducing your chances of new rat infestations. Rats can breed year round with females having up to 5 liters per year creating an obstacle for treatment and re-infestations. The Brown Rat is attracted to areas that contain food remnants, and provide harborage for the rat to live and nest. Unsealed holes and cracks are ideal living areas for rats.
Hi-Tech Pest Control recommends taking the following steps to help prevent rat infestations:
Store Firewood off the ground and away from the foundation of your house
Remove leaves, bricks, stones or any other debris away from the foundation of your home
Make sure all cracks and holes are sealed properly with caulk or foam.
Doors, windows and screens should b properly sealed and weather stripping installed to prevent rats from entering.
