Whether you’re worried about the possibility of a roof rat infestation or simply want to avoid the hassle, here are some tips for getting rid of roof rats. These pests are highly destructive. The most common problem that they cause is chewing up stored foods and housing materials. Luckily, a rat infestation can be easily prevented. To get rid of them quickly, you can use poison. However, this will take up a lot of time and effort, and can also pose a risk to children. Instead, you can use natural rat repellents to ward off these unwanted rodents.

Once you’ve determined that roof rats have infested your property, you can take steps to prevent future infestations. For example, removing clutter from your property is an important step. While rats don’t pose a threat to humans, it’s important to get rid of piles of wood and newspapers that are easily accessible to the pests. You should also keep the grass and vegetation around your home tidy.

If you’re trying to get rid of roof rats, remove their access to food and water. They love citrus-based fruits because they’re a source of both food and water. They also like stored grains and vegetables. If you don’t want to hire a pest control professional, you can clean out the fruit trees in your yard and dispose of them properly. You can also move any pet food to a safe place. If you have a dog, put it in a container that’s completely sealed. This will help keep the rat out.
