A healthy rat is not likely to threaten you. If you leave a rat alone, it will probably leave you alone. Issues arise when rats are cornered or feel threatened. They are wild animals and they have a natural instinct to survive. When a rat is sick, it is spooked more easily, but there are far worse implications to having a sick rat in your home. Let's look at some basic facts about rats that every Plano resident should know. We'll look at how to tell if you have rats in your home; we'll cover some of the ways a sick rat could make you sick; we'll share effective tips to help you prevent a rat infestation if you don't already have one; and finally, we'll tell you what you should do if you do have rats. If you have questions or want to request service to get rid of rats, contact us. All-Safe Pest & Termite provides advanced rodent pest control in Plano. We can help.
We have several pests that invade our homes. Plano is rich to have a diverse wildlife population. If you are hearing noises in your home, it is important to understand that there are a few animals that can make those noises. Let's break down a few facts to help you tell if rats in Plano are your problem.
If you see or hear signs of rats, the next step is to consider what it means to have rats in your home. You should also know the ways a rat can make you sick. Let's compare rats to mice.
Before we tell you which is more dangerous, it is important to look at what makes rodents dangerous. You may equate danger as having an animal in your home that will bite you. While a rat is far more likely to bite you than a mouse, they aren't predisposed to aggressive behavior. On some level, they know you provide the food. Rats and mice are not a direct threat to safety. They present a danger to people when they leave droppings, urine, ticks, fleas, and bacteria as they explore.
There is one way rats and mice present a threat to people that does not have anything to do with diseases. Rats and mice chew on many things inside man-made structures, including wires and gas lines. Their constant chewing can lead to a house fire. That is a serious threat that can take you by surprise.
So, which is more dangerous, a rat or a mouse? The greater their ability to do the things listed above, the greater the threat. There are a few factors to consider.
It isn't good to have rats in your home—so, what can you do about rats? How do you keep them out?
Only a few factors motivate rats. If you understand what attracts a rat to your home, you can work to keep them out. A rat is going to go where it feels most comfortable. Your goal is to make rats feel very uncomfortable.
Keep in mind that a licensed professional can help you reduce rodent populations around your home by installing tamper-resistant traps. Professional control is needed when rodent pressures are unusually high, or conducive conditions are difficult to correct.
If you have a group of rats in your home, you may consider laying traps down for them, but doing so can have many unwanted results. The best solution for rats is to get professional assistance. It is also the best way to get rid of rats fast. DIY rat control often fails. But, even when residents have success, they deal with rats much longer than they would have if they had professional rodent control. A professional uses science to control rats. The process begins with an inspection to evaluate rodent activity, conducive conditions, potential routes, potential entry points, nesting, and more. A professional will use the findings from the inspection to establish a rodent control plan that is multi-pronged. During the process, rodent activity is monitored and the rodent control strategy is evaluated. If rodents do something unexpected (which they tend to do), an experienced rodent control professional will switch things up. When the process is complete, you won't have to wonder if you have rodents in your home!
