RATS

RAT PEST CONTROL

The Norway rat and packrat, a.k.a. wood rats, are common pests in Utah. The Norway rat is identified by its brown fur, larger size, and long hairless tails. The packrat has a bushy tail and large ears. The bushy-tail wood rat or packrat has a strong preference for shiny objects and will collect and store these items in its nest.

Rats are a threat to public health and are hosts to a variety of diseases. If rats can find a place with food, water, and shelter, they will attempt to make it their home. They multiply quickly, and a rat infestation can become a terrible health hazard for anyone living or working in the building.

Raccoons are a scavenging animal species. Like possums and badgers, raccoons are omnivorous and seek out food that other animals or people have left behind. It’s no surprise that unsecured garbage cans, pet food, and gardens are their prime targets. They have even been known to tear up grass and flowers in search of insects to eat.

How can I prevent rats from infesting my home?

The most important steps you can take to ensure that rats don’t become a problem is to eliminate entry points and remove their food and water sources. Water leaks inside or outside of a home can attract not only rats but pests as well. Food scraps and trash can attract them inside, and unprotected food supplies can make your home an attractive place for rats to live.
