Rats Can Spread Disease and Cause Damage to Your Home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After years of declines in the rat populations of major cities, it seems rodents are starting to make a comeback<\/a> in a big way. Our team at Allison Pest Control has seen what rats can do first-hand and we know what needs to be done to take care of the problem.<\/p>\n

What Causes a Population Explosion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodents are notoriously fast breeders, with rats being able to get pregnant about five weeks after they’re born. In addition, litter sizes can easily reach a dozen or more. Cold weather tends to decrease fertility rates and helps keep rodent populations<\/a> in check. Over the past few years, warmer weather has been experienced earlier in the year than normal, and it has stayed warm a little longer than normal.<\/p>\n

How to Eliminate a Rat Infestation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professional exterminators can take care of a rat infestation within a home or business with traps, bait and repellents. Once they have been eliminated, home and business owners should take a few precautions to keep them from coming back. The best thing you can do is to keep your food stored securely. If rats and other rodents cannot eat in your home, they will not bother sticking around or breeding.<\/p>\n
