Dealing with rats in your crawl space and furnace room can be challenging, but here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

  1. Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps or holes where rats could enter. Seal these openings with steel wool, caulk, or other materials.
  2. Remove Food Sources: Ensure that all food is stored in sealed containers and that there are no pet foods or garbage left accessible.
  3. Declutter: Remove clutter in the crawl space and surrounding areas that could provide hiding places for rats.
  4. Set Traps: Use snap traps or electronic traps in areas where you’ve noticed rat activity. Place them along walls and near entry points.
  5. Bait Stations: If necessary, consider using bait stations with rodenticide, but follow local regulations and safety guidelines.
  6. Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly clean the area to discourage rats from returning. Keep vegetation trimmed and remove debris outside your home.
  7. Professional Help: If the problem persists, consider hiring Go Green Pest Control who can assess the situation and provide effective solutions.
  8. Monitor: Keep an eye on the traps and signs of activity to ensure that the problem is being resolved.

Taking these steps can help you manage and eliminate the rat issue effectively.
