Types of Rats

Roof Rat vs Norway Rat Control Pickering

Our technicians come across many types of rodents in their line of work and mainly deal with two species of rats when visiting your property. These are the Roof Rat and the Norway Rat. These two rats have very different preferences in terms of habitat where it takes an experienced and skilled expert to deal with them effectively. As for the Norway Rat, these rats prefer to stay low on ground level. They often find their way into garages and other parts of the house that are on the ground floor. They often stay hidden and avoid human detection at all costs. Call us for fast and reliable Rat Exterminator Pickering solutions.

Roof Rats on the other hand are the opposite. These rats thrive above the ground by climbing to more elevated areas and floors of the house. These rats are amazing climbers and can conquer any height without any issue. They can often be found in attics. By being in attics, they can contribute to the degradation of insolation material which can cost homeowners thousands of dollars in repair costs alone. Not only that, both the Norway and the Roof Rat can spread disease and viruses through the exposure of their feces and urine alone.

The Main Differences Between Rats And Mice

and rat pest control Pickering

Rats are the type of rodents who rather be safe than sorry. In contrast to the house mouse who is attracted to anything new and is very curious by nature. These differences between the mouse and the rat are what determines their preference for their habitat. Rats often stay in enclosed spaces such as garages and depending on the type of species, can even find their way in elevated areas such as attics. Mice have a preference for cereal, nuts, berries, and grains. The rat’s diet seems more arbitrary feeding on small insects to anything it can find in the garbage. Both rodents are destructive but are so in different ways. The mouse goes around the house and nibbles on anything it comes across, but also ‘gathers’ materials to build its nest with such as paper and cardboard. Rats nibble and gnaw on various things. Both rodents nibble on electrical wiring and cabling thus creating a fire hazard. A red flag for both rodents is seeing urine and droppings. If you spot droppings anywhere in the house or in other parts that is a sign that you are dealing with an infestation. Mice have droppings the size of rice. Rats have a slightly larger dropping being oblong in shape and having blunted edges. Rats, since they prefer the outdoors, they can be often spotted in yards where burrows can be found.  

Do It Yourself Rat Control: You Need A Professional Rat Control service

When people first suspect a rodent presence, it is usually by hearing these rodents nibbling. When they move you hear a slight thumping sound as they make their way from one side to the other side. As they inspect the matter more closely, they might stumble on bite marks, droppings, and chewed through materials throughout the house. their suspicion is now becoming more concrete. They go to their local hardware store and buy products based on the clerk’s recommendation and come back with repellants, traps, and bait. After one catch or two the problem seems resolved, but not until long…

The rodents come back and that means another trip to the store losing more money each time they go. After exhausting all their resources, they slowly come to realize that this was indeed counter-productive. This is where professionals need to step in. Technicians are licensed professionals by the Ministry of Environment in Ontario. This accreditation allows professionals to buy and deploy truly potent formulations that are effective. Not only that, but technicians also have years of experience and are specialized to seek out various pests and are well-acquainted with the behavioral and breeding patterns which makes eradicating them from your property so much easier. In addition, technicians can prevent any future infestations by proofing and sealing previous entry-points that the rodents used to gain access to the property in the first place along with any newly discovered entry-points that seem prone to intrusion. Hiring a Rat Exterminator Pickering service is truly worth the investment in getting your peace of mind back!

What Attracts Rats To Your Yard and Home

rat removal Pickering

Many factors are at play when figuring out why rodents are attracted to your property. Rats and mice flock to your home primarily for shelter. By being in a warm and secure place, it can give these rodents the chance to thrive. This combination is a very good incentive for rodents to start building nests and eventually give birth to offspring which can go on for generations. The abundance of water also seems to be a determining factor in attracting rats and mice to your home as leaky pipes make up for good sources of water to quench the rodents’ thirst with ease. The diet of the rat is far from specific and are known to consume feces, eat from dumpsters, and our trash cans. What might be trash for you is a full multi-course buffet to the rat. If the diet was not enough bad news, rats and mice are known carriers of diseases such as salmonellosis, leptospirosissis, and tularemia and being the cause of the infamous plague, just to give you an idea what they have in store.

RAT EXTERMINATION METHODS

At Pest Control Pickering we use a wide array of different exterminator methods to completely eradicate rats from your property based on the extent of the infestation and the features of the property. In order to grasp and understand what we are truly dealing with, we conduct a meticulous exterior inspection and exterior where we carefully identify entry and exit points along the perimeter of the property. This allows us to provide our customers with ways to prevent and avoid a second infestation from ever happening. After we have determined and confirmed these points, we then convey all the relevant information to our customers along with photographic evidence for transparency and mutual understanding of the situation. Based on the finding we then strategically place a combination of exterior tamper-proof bait stations and snap traps. These tamper-proof bait stations cannot be meddled with. Pets and children have no access to them. Only a technician with a special key. Once we have the desired result, we can offer to seal up and proof your house or you can choose to have it done yourself. Either way your house is declared rat-free! At Rat Exterminator Pickering, we send pests packing. Can we help yours?

EXCLUSION

Inspection 

To determine and find out where the rats enter and exit the property, we conduct a comprehensive exterior inspection. We look for holes, cracks, crevices, vents, and structural gaps around the perimeter of the premises. We then report our findings with photographic evidence and offer recommendations. This creates transparency and understanding between the property owner and the technician throughout the process.

Extermination 

After the inspection, we will discuss our next step in the extermination process. Depending on the situation and need of the treatment, we will strategically place tamper-proof bait traps and rodenticide in and around the property to yield maximum results. Tamper-proof bait traps cannot be accessed by children and pets. Keys are needed for this that only the technician can open.

Exclusion 

Once rat activity has ceased, our technician will then move on to the exclusion processes. This includes sealing up of entry-points. We look for holes, cracks, crevices, vents, and structural gaps and other points of entry that seem prone to intrusion and seal them with the help of galvanized steel mesh.
