These household pests aren’t just uninvited house guests; they’re invaders who want nothing short of a hostile takeover!
Rats are blunt-nosed, small-eared, scaly-tailed rodents with a peculiar love for garbage and filth. These well-known pests are some of the most common creatures sighted here in Streator, and for good reason. Rodents are highly dependent on their relationship with humans, reliant on warm homes, bountiful food supplies, and continuous water access to stay alive.
As you may already know, there are several problems associated with rats getting into a home. From household damage and destruction to the spread of serious illnesses, it is simply not wise to entertain these furry pests for any amount of time.
Streator Rat Prevention Tips
While they may seem to get into everything and onto everyone’s nerves, there are some excellent methods to keep rodents from ever approaching your front door. Use the following rat prevention tips to protect your Streator home from infestations all year long:
- Rodents can fit through holes the size of a quarter, so unless you can plug or seal these openings with waterproof caulking, rats can easily slip indoors unbeknownst to you.
- Rats can and will chew through just about anything, so your home should be regularly inspected for signs of damage to catch or stop rooting rodents in their tracks.
- Minimize garbage exposure in your home, seal all trash in plastic bins and bags, and seal food items appropriately and off the counter when possible.
Sometimes even the best DIY prevention can have some holes slip through the cracks. If rats can sniff out even a single entry point into your home, your family’s safety can and will be greatly compromised. Put your mind at ease with the professional home inspection team at Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators ASAP.
