Get Rid of Rats

Basic sanitation is essential to the prevention of Norway rat infestations. Regularly cleaning buildings, sweeNorway rat control services in Daytonping up crumbs, and mopping liquid spills all reduce the possibility of attracting the rodents. Fitting trash bins with lids, sealing food in rodent-proof containers, removing clutter from basements and attics, sealing any holes in building foundations, and replacing broken window screens helps ward off Norway rats, as well.

Common Norway Rat Problems

  • Norway rats often find their way into buildings. Human waste provides them with their favorite foods, like meats, grains, fruits, and nuts, so it is not uncommon for the animal to orient themselves around landfills, dumpsters, and trash bins. Though Norway rat infestations are common, humans may not be aware of the rodents because they are mostly nocturnal. Spotting rats during the day typically indicates large numbers of the pest are present. Signs of a Norway rat infestation include plentiful droppings, noises like frequent scratching or scampering, burrows near house foundations, and the bodies of deceased rats.
  • In addition to sullying their surroundings, Norway rats bite and scratch when they feel threatened. Since they transmit several serious diseases, Norway rat bites and scratches leave humans susceptible to any number of viruses, including rat-bite fever, the plague, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV). The rodents may also carry smaller pests like fleas.
  • Finally, as accomplished burrowers, Norway rats damage building foundations and sidewalks and gnaw on a variety of objects, leaving behind unseemly teeth marks.
