Protect your home: spring alert for rat intrusions
RAT SEASONAL ALERT: VERY HIGH
As spring arrives in Ottawa-Gatineau, it’s crucial to remain vigilant against potential rat intrusions into homes. These rodents can cause significant damage and pose health risks if left unchecked. Let’s explore how to identify signs of rat activity and prevent infestations.
Identifying Signs
Be on the lookout for signs such as droppings, gnaw marks on walls or furniture, and scratching noises, especially at night. Rats tend to nest in dark, secluded areas like attics, basements, or behind appliances.
Potential risks
Rats can transmit diseases through their droppings and urine, posing health risks to occupants. They can also cause structural damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood.
Preventive measures
Seal off entry points around doors, windows, and utility openings to prevent rats from entering your home. Keep food stored in airtight containers, clean up spills promptly, and regularly dispose of garbage. Maintain cleanliness by decluttering and regularly vacuuming or sweeping areas where rats may hide.
