Rats are a common household pest that can get into your food and garbage, contaminate your home, and leave droppings everywhere. They can also get in through small openings in the building or pipes to get inside. They have been an issue for people since the 1800s when they first arrived in America aboard ships. The rodents are highly adaptive and proliferate quickly, exploiting new habitats and sources of food as opportunities arise. If you live in an area with rats, get rid of them immediately to keep them from spreading a disease or invading your home!
We will discuss three ways to get rid of rats:
- use rat traps
- get professional help
- get a cat
It would help if you get rid of rats in house immediately because they will only make things worse. - Make sure there is no food available outside
- Seal off all holes where the rat could enter
- Use pesticides (if necessary)
Follow these recommendations as soon as possible if you have a rat problem. It would be best if you acted fast before it gets more complicated.
