The Norway rat is also referred to as the sewer rat or brown rat. Unlike the roof rat which tends to reside in higher locals, the Norway rat spends it time ground-level. The Norway rat will dig burrows in moist areas in the ground. You can find the burrows near building foundations and in gardens and fields. The Norway rat can grow to about 7 to 10 inches long.
New Jersey pest control experts agree that it’s important to stop rodent populations by using trapping, monitoring and exclusion tactics as soon as you notice any rodent activity. Rats are cautious by nature and won’t typically venture too far off of their normal routine. A good New Jersey Pest control expert knows the ins and outs of rat behaviors so that proper control can be established.
It is never a good idea to use store bought rat poison as rats have a great sense of smell and they can easily detect contaminants and will avoid such devices. If you are experiencing rats in your home or business, Allison Pest Control will be able to help you trap rats by using rodent snap traps and glue traps that are baited with non-toxic bait. Additionally, because of the dangers the rats pose to humans, rat removal should be handled carefully and preferably by a professional.
Trying to control a rat problem on your own may be tempting, but it could put your family or business at risk of disease or damage.
