Blue Ridge Wildlife & Pest Management provides rodent control, Rat removal, Rat control, and Rat pest control in Fredericksburg, VA.
Rats adapt to residential and commercial environments easily and usually by choice. Rats adapt easily due to the abundance of food and shelter. People provide food sources such as dumpsters, trash cans, bird feeders, squirrel feeders, and pet food bowls that are replenished regularly. Residential and commercial landscapes provide attractive natural food sources such as nuts, buds, and fruits from trees that Rats will favor. Once a Rat has found a prevalent food source it will look for a nesting site that is relatively close to that food source. In most instances, structures around your home or in your home become the nesting site. A Rat will look for an area outside of your home or business that poses the least resistance. Rotten stumps, debris piles, concrete slabs, driveways, open loading dock doors, open garage doors, and stone walls are a few locations for their outside dens. Gable vents, attic fans, exhaust vents, foundation vents, or rotten wood behind your gutter or in your soffit are a few locations that they will gain access for a nesting site. As the Rat population grows so will the damage and potential viruses. Extensive burrows under concrete slabs, driveways, and stone walls will cause costly repairs due to settling from these structures. Chewed electrical wires create the risk of fire and odor issues from their droppings and urine can create a biohazard in your attic or crawlspace insulation. As long as we continue to urbanize, and provide an abundance of food to the Rats, they will continue to adapt to human environments and pose a threat to homes, businesses, and human health.
Rat exclusion (Repairs), Rat trapping and Rat bait placement are key to effective Rat removal. Knowing their biological habits, performing the necessary repairs, and the use of traps, if necessary, and or rodenticide baits for a minimum of 60 days will solve most Rat problems. When ideal habitat, water, and food for Rats are within your property or structure, monthly or annual baiting services are recommended to prevent and or eliminate new Rats from trying to enter your structure.
There are many different ways to get rid of Rats, but if you are looking for a professional, permanent solution to your Rat problem, with a written guarantee and warranted for a one year minimum, you have found one of the only companies in Fredericksburg that can provide you with this and back it up.
