Rats can climb pretty
much any surface. They can get wherever they want to go. They can squeeze
through amazingly small holes and gaps. They can get in through the sewer pipes
or any possible gap or hole in a home, from the foundation to the tip of the
roof. They can also chew. If a rat detects just a small breeze coming from
inside, they’ll get in.
Squirrels, mice, racoons
,rats and other furry creatures may be cute when you see them running around
outside, but they’re not so charming when they’re in your home! Rodents can
cause damage to property beginning with attics and crawlspace which are very
important to the functionality of a building or home, create unsanitary living
conditions and even carry diseases that can make you and your family sick.
Clearly, furry intruders are a problem, but there are ways to deal with them
humanely.
Do
You Have Furry House Guests?
The
first step to getting help with a wildlife problem is knowing that you have
one! Of course, seeing something scurrying is a dead giveaway, but animals can
be live inside of walls, crawlspaces and attics without being noticed. Sounds
of scratching or movement are common signs of infestations. You may also find
that food or boxes have been gnawed or that there are holes in your insulation
or walls. Droppings are another surefire sign that you have pests. Mice tend to
leave very small 1/8-inch droppings, while rats leave slightly larger, greasier
waste that is about 1/4 inch to 5/8 in size. Squirrels have the largest
droppings at around 1/2 inch to 1 inch. They may also leave behind nut shells
or casings.
How
Animals Get In
Animals
can find many ways into your home. They come in through gaps around utility
lines, drain pipes and holes in windowsills and foundations. Squirrels can
often enter through roof overhangs and dormers, and mice and rats are fond of
entering through basements and garages. You may not be able to find the place
where your pests got in on your own, which is part of the reason why a
professional wildlife control service is usually needed to successfully deal
with rodents.
What
to Do About Pests
As
already mentioned, the best way to deal with rodents and other furry pests is
to call a professional
wildlife control service. A professional will use traps to catch
wildlife, and whenever possible, will humanely capture the animals alive and
relocate them to forested areas. In addition, professionalexterminators expert
will be able to determine how the animals got inside, so that you can make the
necessary repairs and prevent the problem from happening again.
The
cost of removing rodents from a home varies, but typically it costs between
$300 and $500. Normally, there is a fee of $75 to $125 for an initial
inspection to determine what animals are present, where they are located and
how they got in. Then, there is normally a fee to set the traps and a fee for
each time that the pest control agent returns to remove an animal.
