Having a clean house is the best way to remove a rat from your house.  Rat removal is not an easy chore for most people these days. Many rats can crawl in hard to reach places in your home, and can cause serious damage to your structures and walls.  Rats also can carry as many as 35 diseases at a time, so you really need to keep your distance if at all possible. Rat removal is key early on in the infestation process, if you are not sure if you can remove a rat from your home, call Eraticators immediately.

The top 5 ways to keep rats out of your home are as followed:

1. Food waste or garbage is a rats primary diet in an infested home, keep all food areas clean and make sure the fridge and stove are cleaned behind at all times!

2. Keep pet food stored in a container overnight, and keep a close eye on it at all times.

3. Remove excess clutter such as old cardboard boxes, paper, or unneeded storage items.

4. Remove grass and yard clippings near your home routinely.

5. Store all firewood away from your home.  Having a huge pile of firewood is the perfect habitat or a rat infestation.
