How Do Rats and Rodents Get Into Your Atlanta Area Home?
The first thing you should do is keep the dirty critters out. Keep your garage door closed, find the small holes around your home where mice and rats can enter and seal them up. Check out places where pipes enter the structure and make sure there are intact screening materials over vents, even those high up vents for the upstairs bathroom. Rats can climb trees, trellises and trees. They can walk telephone wires, too.
Openings as small as a half inch are large enough for rats and mice to enter. Beware that we see some rats as long as one and a half feet. They can damage electrical wires, a/c ducts, and insulation. They cause health problems including trichinosis, salmonella, tapeworms, rat bite fever and infectious jaundice.
