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
Do Rats Enjoy Cold Locations?
For human beings, winter means dealing with a drop in temperature, but for animals like rodents, it might mean a whole change in their metabolisms and lifestyle. Rodents prefer warm places with easy access to food. Weather change for them might be deadly, so the best way for them to survive cold locations is to find an ideal refuge.
Burrows In Your House
During summer we can find burrows anywhere in the woods or other outdoor land, but with the arrival of rain, many of these shelters are torn apart. Rodents must leave in the pursuit of a new home with food, a warm environment, and away from the wetness of the outdoors.
Rats are innate explorers and are able to enter any living area because they have a very flexible bone structure able to pass through a crack. They also have claws to climb any surface. Their appearance in homes is more common with the start of cold, snow, rain, or even cloudy days.
Just One Rat Can Cause Immense Damage
Rodents love to gnaw. It is known that their teeth never stop growing and if they stop chewing, they can die. On the other hand, it is also known that due to their capacity of chewing hard things it can open up an opportunity to get their treasure: food. Food is enough motivation to keep biting anything.
When there are rats and mice appearing all over homes, there is plenty of damage that might be hard to fix. Economic losses can be alarming and because of this, it is necessary to take preventive measures such as eliminating areas that facilitate a shelter for rodents in your home during cold and humid seasons.
If you do not only want to prevent but also exterminate, you have a great advantage during winter since rodents' reproductive capacities slow down by not having adequate conditions for pups to survive. So, if you exterminate a population, chances of regeneration are minimum.
