If you have rats under your crawlspace, in your attic or under your bed, it’s important to address the issue promptly as rats can cause damage to your property and pose health risks. Here are some steps you can take:
- Identify Entry Points: Inspect the crawlspace and surrounding areas to identify any possible entry points where rats may be getting in. Seal off any holes or cracks using materials like wire mesh, steel wool, or caulk.
- Remove Food Sources: Rats are attracted to food sources, so make sure to remove any accessible food, such as garbage or pet food, from the area around your home.
- Trapping: Set up traps in the crawlspace to catch the rats. There are various types of traps available, including snap traps, live traps, and glue traps. Choose the type that you’re most comfortable with and follow the instructions carefully.
