Rats in the Home
Rats can enter the house through roof lines, water pipes, gas pipes, holes leading to the basement, air vent and ducts, holes in the attic—pretty much anywhere there’s an opening.
Once they’re in, they can quickly travel throughout the home. Evidence of rats is often found near the hot water heater and furnace since they serve as a hub for pipes and air ducts. They often build nests in the walls, crawl spaces, and attic to keep warm and give birth. A rat can have 6-12 offspring at a time, and a typical female will have 4-6 litters a year.
Removal Process
- We start the removal process by inspecting the entire house. With our inspection, we should be able to locate where the rats are living as well as where they are coming in.
- Once these locations have been noted, we will install one-way exit tunnels in the area that will prevent the rats from re-entering the house once they’ve left.
- We will animal proof any holes or cracks that could be used as an entryway. Our execution techniques are sure to keep animals out and your family safe.
Attic Kings does not use poisons as part of its removal process. Using poisons can cause health hazards to your pets and family, and aren’t as effective as our exit tunnels. Plus poisons could cause the rats to die inside the home, leaving you with even more problems.
