Fresno County, Fresno Rat Control Situation:
Hi David, I live in Fresno, CA and have roof rats. I hear them at night and am concerned about electrical problems and just getting them out ... and killing them off, too. I am in the San Francisco East Bay area. Cost is a factor so I've heard good things about a strobe light removing them for good. Any thoughts? Thank you. Garrett
Sir, I looked over your website and would like to inquire if you could recommend a reputable, cost efficient, high quality rat/squirrel exterminating service in the san antonio area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, The rats are taking over our shop at the ranch. My uncle used poison and I know that's not working. I know there are places that they are getting in that we have to seal. I think the worst nest is behind the work bench where we can't readily access. Would you ever consider coming to asses our situation and help us set up an extermination plan? Thanks, Terry in Fresno CA
I live in Fresno Ca. and am concerned about an abundance of rats I am beginning to spot in the garden...and am hearing on the patio roof. There seems to be quite a few of them, and I feel concerned that they might carry disease and at any rate are not clean! Am I right? I have three cats and I do not wish to poison them. We are very clean, keep the yard clean, and the house, none the less the rats seem to show up every Spring and into Summer. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks in Advance!
Fresno Rat Control Tip of The Week
What Attracts Rats To Your Property?
Being a homeowner, you definitely don't want rats to infest your home and make it their nesting place. If you are concerned about this, you need to know certain things that can attract rats to your property and do all you can to keep those things away from your property.
In order to help you prevent a rat infestation, right here we will be sharing all the things that are capable of attracting rats to your property. By knowing these, you will be able to keep your property safe from rats.
1. Food Substances
Unlike other household pests, rats are not picky eaters. They tend to eat all kinds of food, provided they are placed where they can easily access them. The moment a single rat gets to know that your house has an abundant supply of food, it will invite others and your property will soon become a nesting place for rats. To avoid this, the best thing you can do is store your food properly and dispose of leftovers when you no longer have plans to eat them.
2. Pet Waste And Trash
Just as mentioned earlier, rats will feed on anything they have access to and this includes your pet's food. When you have pet food around at all times, rats will find their way into your home.
This also applies to having trash around your property. When rats want to hunt for food, the first place they visit is trash cans because they feel that your leftovers might be disposed of there. The longer you keep trash in and around your property, the more likely rats will be attracted to your property.
3. Dripping Pipes
Rats are thirsty animals and are always in search of clean water to drink. If you have dripping pipes or sprinklers around your home, this will tend to attract rats to your property.
