Are you experiencing the sheer terror of having roof rats living on your property? Did you know that they even exist? These revolting creatures live in nests in trees, dense shrubs and bushes and even in wood piles, but that is only when then are living outside. Inside, they love to make their nests in attics and ceilings.
You can find the thin, dark brown/black rats in many different kinds of high buildings as they live 90% of their lives up high off of the ground. They choose to snack on vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and tree bark if they can’t find anything better to eat.
The Dangers of Roof Rats:
Unfortunately it’s true, that these rodents (among others) can spread disease and contaminate food. Their excrement and urine or simply a bite can send anyone to the hospital. Rats can also cause structural damage to your buildings. From gnawing at drain lines and wires to burrowing they can cause fires, leaks and even undermine building foundations. These rats also can easily chew through framework, furniture upholstery and cause a lot of destruction.
