Unbeknownst to a lot of people, rats can use defunct utility line pipes to come up and enter the interior of the crawl space by digging themselves out of it. These utility line pipes are still connected to older houses that have older neighbourhoods with houses that have older builds Rats take advantage of this by entering these pipes that run underground and connect to these houses.
If you have a rat infestation, do not hesitate to contact the licensed and insured exterminators from Rat Control.
Rats, when they enter these crawl spaces will construct intricate tunnels where rats will nest and breed. These rats will then further populate the crawl space and find themselves behind walls where property owners will hear them move, scuffle, and chew behind the walls. This can be a very unsettling sound especially when you don’t know that you have a rat presence in your house.
Apart from that rat can also spread throughout the property on the exterior of the building and may venture outside to get a hold of food sources that are stored in garbage bags, and this will in turn attract more wildlife like raccoons and squirrels that will see these ripped open garbage bags as an invitation to eat and feast whenever they can. So, now that you know what these rats are capable of, you might be wondering what you can do against these rats so they can stay away from your crawl space and prevent a much bigger infestation.
So, without further ado here are the things you can do to get rid of rats in the crawlspace:
• Make sure to seal any cracks and holes around the base of the crawlspace and or the exterior of the house or property. Rats will be sure to exploit these cracks and find gaps to also gain access to the interior. By sealing these gaps and crevices make sure to talk to a specialist in a hardware store
• Remove feces. If you want to get rid of rats properly you will need to clean this space as well. Make sure not to store any food in there as it might surely attract rats.
• Hire a professional rat control specialist. The guaranteed way to get rid of the rats in the crawlspace is inevitably hiring a professional who can encapsulate the crawl space with strong durable mesh. This sort of adds a reinforced inner layer that prevents any type of rat to enter the crawlspace whatsoever.
If you hear gnawing, pitter-patter or scuffling from behind the wall, you might have a rat problem that urgently needs to be looked at by fully licensed and insured rat control professionals who have the tools, the material, and the traps needed to get rid of rats from the crawl space.
