Protecting Your Home & Business From Rat Infestations
Here in Texas, the most common types of rats you’ll find are the Norway rat and Roof rat. Unfortunately, rats like to mate and stick together in groups so where there is one rat, there is likely a pack. As rats generally come out at night, it can be easier to spot the signs of a rat problem, rather than spotting the rats themselves.
Where To Check For Rats
Lofts & Attics – Look in all the corners and inside dark items such as cardboard boxes. You may notice shredded insulation, chewed items and rat feces.
Kitchens & Laundry Rooms – Rats like to hide behind large appliances and gaps and holes where pipework or cables enter your home from outside.
Crawlspaces, suspended ceiling rafters and walls – Rats don’t want to spend time with you and will often hide in high, dark places where there is not a lot of activity. Generally, rats end up inside your home when they are looking for shelter, looking for a place to nest or looking for food. Our professional exterminators are experienced in rat control. We know the signs of a rat problem, where to look and how to safely get them out of your house. We can then ascertain how they got in and create a plan so they don’t come back.

Why Do I Have Rats Around My Home?
There could be several reasons why you have rats around your home:
- Food sources: Rats are attracted to easily accessible food sources. If there are crumbs, spills, or improperly stored food around your home, it can attract rats.
- Shelter: Rats seek shelter in warm, dry places. If there are openings or cracks in your home, they can easily find their way inside to seek shelter from the elements.
- Water: Like all living creatures, rats need water to survive. If there are leaking pipes, standing water, or other sources of moisture around your home, it can attract rats.
- Clutter: Clutter around your home can provide hiding places for rats, making it easier for them to establish themselves.
- Neighborhood factors: Sometimes, rat infestations can be a result of conditions in the broader neighborhood, such as nearby construction disturbing rat nests, or nearby sources of food and shelter attracting rats to the area.
To address a rat problem, you’ll want to eliminate or mitigate these factors. This might involve sealing up entry points, properly storing food, removing clutter, fixing leaks, and possibly enlisting the help of pest control professionals if the problem is severe.
