At Orange County, FL Rodent Pros, we know how to get rids of rats in your Fairview Shores area building for good. With our vast knowledge of rat behavior and building construction, we will inspect every inch of your house or building – from top to bottom – and find every possible entry point. Once we have permanently sealed up all the holes, typically with heavy steel mesh or metal plating that rats can’t chew through, then we can start the Fairview Shores rodent trapping process.
The best rat trap: Believe it or not, the tried-and-true, low-tech mouse trap (snap trap) – a simple piece of wood with a spring-loaded bar – is the most effective and humane way to kill a rat. Snap traps kill rats instantly, they are inexpensive and reusable, and they can fit in small spaces. Do not worry about the bait – you can use anything from peanut butter to fruit to – yes, cheese.

What are Rats?
Roof rats can be controlled with the same baits used for Norway rats.
It actually makes it worse, because the rats are multiplying, dying, defecating, destroying insulation, chewing wires and chewing air ducts, while you wait for your next service.
The Norway rat produces six to eight litters of six to nine young per year.
Some of the first-generation anticoagulants (pindone and warfarin) are available as soluble rodenticides from which water baits can be prepared.
The first and most crucial thing is to inspect the house and find all possible entry holes, and before starting any trapping, carry out repairs and seal the attic so the rats can't get in again.
A mouse's tracks will be much shorter.
Proper ladder safety is a must, as is roof safety.

Biology of Black Rat
Roof rats are likely to found in coastal, near-coastal areas and port cities.
They may be frightened by sound-producing devices for awhile but they become accustomed to constant and frequently repeated sounds quickly.
You can often find smudges as an indication of rats, but they can often stay on walls for a long time, so it might be from an old infestation.
Presently, only one such modified trap is commercially available.
Roof rats are found in more temperate climates, since they do not do well in cooler temperatures.
Rats can squeeze into a hole the size of a quarter.
They can transmit these diseases through physical contact, bites, by contamination or by fleas that are feeding on the rodent.
And most of all, you want someone who will do this complex work correctly.

They may be frightened by sound-producing devices for awhile but they become accustomed to constant and frequently repeated sounds quickly.
High-frequency sound-producing devices are advertised for frightening rats, but almost no research exists on their effects specifically on roof rats.
Scientists have noted that the roof rat’s long tail is adapted to enhance their ability to climb and functions to assists them in balancing.
Rats may carry viruses such as Hantavirus and salmonella, and although they can also be a carrier of bubonic plague, that disease is not indigenous in the USA.
Other vegetable, melon, berry, and fruit crops occasionally suffer relatively minor damage when adjacent to infested habitat such as riparian vegetation.
Roof rats are more aerial than Norway rats in their habitat selection and often live in trees or on vine-covered fences.
In tropical or semi tropical regions, the season may be nearly year-round.
Adult roof rats usually live about one year.
