Lackawanna County, Scranton Rat Control Situation:
Hello, I've seen your website and wanted to thank you for supplying such helpful information. Are you located in Wilkes Barre? Is so, do you ever accept jobs in Scranton? Scranton is about 1.5 hours north of Allentown. Even if you don't accept jobs out of your home area, I wondered if you would give me some information about cost and details as to what the service includes.I have rats in my attic. I have seen an entry place they use at the edge of my screened porch. Several months ago I also had some rats inside my house. Before I realized That I had a rat problem, I had the habit of leaving my sliding glass door open for the breeze. I believe the rats entered that way and/or via a ceiling vent in my laundry room that has been bent. I was able to get rid of the rats in the house but not the rats in the attic. I can hear them and I periodically see one or two when I go on my porch. That is how I know one of the places they are entering the attic. I will need these services: 1. Finding and sealing entry holes 2. Setting snap traps for any rats that are in the attic 3. Removal of dead rats caught in traps 4. Decontamination of attic areas where rats have been 5. Decontamination of the area of the house where I think they were hiding. I know it is not possible to give an exact quote without seeing the house/attic, but I do need a ball park figure for the services above because I am retired and live on a fixed income. I will need to know how much to budget for having the services done. Thanks in advance for the information.
I moved into an apartment complex a week and a half ago. A nice quiet one on the outside looking in. First issue were flies piling in one window so maintenance sealed the window. Then lizards under my sink in the bedroom. Now rats are using the restroom throughout the kitchen and living room. One hole was patched behind the toilet in my bedroom last week. I was awakened just now by the rat trying to chew through the patch. I'm exhausted by all of this. If maintenance patches all of the holes that I can find to point out then what happens to the living things in the wall? I signed a lease for 13 months, so I definitely don't want dead things in the walls while I'm here. I tried glue traps they won't walk on them. I just feel that being a new tenant yet to cook a meal here that this is a lot to deal with. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Scranton Rat Control Tip of The Week
What To Do If A Rat Got Inside My House?
Rats are considered as one of the most dangerous household pests due to their destructive nature and their ability to carry diseases and other disease-causing organisms. If you happen to have a rat invasion in your home, you need to find a way to get them out without any further delay.
Rats are naturally sneaky and will always find a way to move around your home without being noticed. As a result of this, getting them out of your house might be quite difficult to do. To help make this easy for you, we will be sharing the simple steps you can take to handle the situation if rats get inside your house.
1. Locate All Their Entry Holes
Rats getting into your home means there are holes around your home big enough to allow their easy passage. Having realized this, the first thing you need to do is to find those holes and seal them up. By doing this, you will be preventing more rats from getting into your home.
2. Clean Your House
Even though rats do infest the cleanest of houses, it important for you to make sure your house is unattractive to rats by clearing all dirt and clutter in and around your home. To do this, take your time to clean your kitchen floor, clear out hidden places that you don't clean regularly, and vacuum the floor of your home to remove food particles. Also, when cleaning your home, you need to make sure your food is kept in a rat-proof container or cupboard.
3. Keep Their Natural Predators
When it comes to getting rats out of your home, one of the best ways to do this is to get their natural predators in your home. For instance, you can get a cat to help hunt them down and keep them away.
4. Trap And Remove
Although the use of lethal traps is an inhumane way to get rid of rats in your home, it is the most efficient method to use. To use this method, all you have to do is get traps from a local store and place them along the route of the rats.
Repeat this same process until you can remove all of the rats in your home.
