How to remove rats from home: Do you have rats in your or attic or crawlspace? Do you hear noises like scratching, biting and scurrying? First you must identify any possible entry points to confirm you have rodents in your home. First:

  • Do you have any overhang such as trees or fences near or over your roof line for these rodents to jump onto? This is always the usual point of entry– the attic. When your home was first built, there is usually an opening left behind. Contractors will forget to seal up the nooks and areas where a roof meets another roof– an opening for rodents.
  • Sealing up all broken crawlspace vents or opening will help animal proof your home. This is a common area where rodents enter your crawlspace to enter and destroy your insulation and property.
  • Look to see if your garage door weather stripping is compromised. If your have a half inch gap under your garage door, then you’re giving access to rodents. They enter your garage then your crawlspace through gaps around your water heater in the garage. I’ve seen over and over again where homeowners dismiss the fact that small gaps under their garage door gives access to rodents of all sorts.

There’s usually a process of elimination to get rid of rats from your attic or crawlspace; however, it is always recommend to consult with a rodent control specialist. Follow these hints from this article “how to remove rats from home”.
