Rat While you probably aren’t inviting dirty critters like rats into your home willingly, you may be opening your doors to critters inadvertently. Since rats have extremely flexible bodies, they can fit through holes the size of a quarter and enter your home unnoticed. You make take proactive steps towards keeping these critters out.

Here are 3 tips to follow to keep rats out of your Polk County home

Store Food Properly

One of the main reasons that rats want to settle down in your home is because it provides them with 24/7, easy access to food. However, if your pantry and its contents are sealed properly, rats won’t have a food source to live off of and will be forced to leave.
Seal Your Home

Rats typically enter homes in Polk County through vents, pipes, soffits, and cracks. It’s important to inspect your home every once in a while to make sure there are no weak spots where wildlife can get in. Make sure to check your attic’s insulation as well, as it is a crucial part of keeping rodents out of your attic.
Cover Trash and Food Sources

If you tend to leave your trash lying around outside or leave food out for birds or strays, it’s an open invitation for rodents of all kinds. Rats have excellent memories and will remember if your house consistently provides food. This could make it much more likely that they will try to squeeze their way in to find more.

Superb service again! We used Critter Control a couple of years ago for rats in the attic. Two days ago we heard noises again and called them back. Customer Service was friendly and prompt and they offered me an inspection date within two days of me calling. Ryan called me the day before to tell me when he was going to call. He was on time and carried out a thorough inspection. He was really informative, helpful and friendly - 5 stars! Everything was dealt with efficiently and quickly. I’d recommend to anyone.

Corey Amica is an outstanding technician that must be recognized and celebrated by your company. The racoon that was entering our attic was caught in less than 24 hours from trap being set. Corey’s expertise, calm demeanor and reassurance that the issue would be resolved was key in our recontacting your company to have the required roof and soffit seal up performed by Critter Control. Ryan also did a great job in explaining how the repairs would be done and fully explaining the warranty. Thank you!!!

CC was called to remove a Mother raccoon from our attic. She was persistent but not as persistent as Critter Control. They were able to catch her and did a great job cleaning up the damage and the mess. From first contact with Bill to finishing the work we were pleased with their rapid response. Thank You Guys for a job well done B&S
