What are Roof Rats?
Roof rats, also known as black rats, are smaller than some other rats, such as the Norway rat. The black rat is black to light brown in color with a lighter underside. These rats get their name from their tendency to take shelter in areas that are up high in your home or building, such as near the roof. They like the heat that they can find in higher locations. They commonly take up residence in attics, cabinets, garages, ceilings, and inside walls.
Once inside, these rodents can cause a lot of damage because they will eat and feed on just about anything. They will enjoy a feast on plants, pet food, vegetables, nuts, tree bark, insects, paper, meats, plastic, metal, and more. They are highly adaptable and will also make their nest out of whatever they can get to—which can result in damage to your home and belongings.
Tips to Prevent Roof Rat Infestation
Signs of a Roof Rat Infestation
Rats are secretive and not seen by humans when populations are low. Therefore, an infestation may prove difficult to confirm.
These rodents are nocturnal and are up and about mostly during the night, so if you have an infestation, you may not actually see them. Keep your eyes peeled for rat droppings, which are about 0.5 inches long with pointed ends, listen for gnawing or scratching above you, watch for chew marks and unexplained damage to wiring, and pay attention to see if you come across a nest or see these critters near your home. All of those things can be signs that you potentially have one or more of these invaders.
Along with leaving droppings and urine that create a health hazard, roof rats can also cause a lot of damage to your home. They may chew through your home’s siding to get inside, and once they have succeeded, they won’t stop there. They will chew on wires, which could put your home at risk of a fire, and they gnaw on wooden beams, munch through plumbing, and eat through drywall and insulation.
These rodents can create health risks for you and your family. Roof rats are most popularly known for spreading the bubonic plague.
According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), rodents are known to spread more than 25 diseases!
These diseases can be spread to humans directly through the handling of live or deceased rodents, contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, as well as rodent bites. They can also be spread indirectly through other pests that have fed on an infected rodent. Roof rats are no exception.
In the event of an infestation, it is best to consult our Bucksworth Services pest control professionals. You may think you can trap roof rats and contain the infestation—but it can be incredibly difficult to do when there is a large infestation. Leave the roof rat removal to our experts!
