Do you know what could be lurking underneath your house? It could be mice or even rats. If you have noticed their droppings outside or even suspected they could be inside the house, there is a safer way to get rid of them than leaving rat poison where kids and domestic animals could get into it. A pest control service for Rats in Tacoma can help you find where these creatures are living and hiding, including inside crawl spaces underneath the house.
You just never know what could be living under there, and it’s dangerous for an unprepared and untrained person to attempt it. Rats carry diseases, and they multiply quickly. Let the pest control service locate the rats, remove them, and then help you seal up the house so there is no way the rats can get inside. There are several varieties of rats known to the area, but one in particular is uniquely destructive.
Pack rats aren’t just people you know who collect and keep everything. There is an actual animal called a pack rat. Pack Rats in Tacoma can get up to 20 inches long including the tail. Their bodies are brown with white feet and white bellies. They live in both northern and southern climates, as far north as Canada and as far south as the desert Southwest. Their droppings can spread disease. They’re also known for destructive chewing, ruining wiring inside the walls. They build very large nests, and have even been known to build nests inside cars in the engine compartment. They’ll also destroy the wiring in a car by chewing it.
Because pack rat nests are so large, getting rid of the pack rats is only the first part of the problem. You need to also get rid of the nest, because a pack rat nest is large enough for other creatures like mice and snakes to find worthy of turning into their own new nest. That’s where the pest control service technicians can help you make sure not only the rats are gone, but so is the temptation for other animals to use those nests in the future.
