Madison Rodent Removal Tip:

What to do if there is a nest of rats in your attic
Having rats on your property is never ideal, most especially when they find a way to enter your home. A common place for rats to set up residence inside your home is your attic. Attics act as perfect residential suites for rats. It is somewhat of a safe haven for rats as it offers food, shelter, and protection from predators. Rats hiding in attics will go about their daily business undisturbed, as the attic is one place homeowners hardly visit. 

Finding a nest of rats in your attic is an entirely different situation. It simply means that your attic has become comfortable for them to opt for a long-term stay. Rats make their nest out of materials such as cotton, twigs, plant matter, and human waste. However, rats do not typically build their nest out in the open, as they prefer to build their nest in a place that is less accessible. 

So, how do you handle a nest of rats in your attic? Well, the goal here is to get rid of the rats in your home and prevent them from making an unprecedented return. To do that, you will have to follow the steps we will be discussing below. More importantly, it is imperative to exercise caution when dealing with a nest of rats. These small-sized creatures are not only famous for their destructive tendencies but also for their disease-carrying abilities. They carry a slew of diseases that you can contract if you are exposed to urine or fecal matter. Overall, these steps are extremely straightforward, and they will help you get rid of the nest of rats in your attic.

Locate and Seal Off Entry Points
Rats gain access to your attic through crawl spaces, holes, and gaps at the ground or roof level. Inspect and replace a damaged roof, windows, vents, and doors. These places provide easy passage for rats to access your attic. Additionally, seal off cracks and crevices around your walls using concrete, silicone-based caulk, or any other suitable material. That way, you trap the rats from escaping outdoors or into other parts of your home. You also prevent new rats from accessing your home.

Clear Out the Attic
Attics have a lot of hiding places for rats. Clearing out your attic takes away their hiding spots, making them and their nest easier to find. 

Locate and Remove the Nest
Rats tend not to build their nest in plain sight. These critters value their safety, opting for building their nest in areas that are out of reach of potential threats. You have to carry out a thorough search to be able to locate their nest. Once you find the nest, do not try to remove it immediately. Inspect the nest to ascertain that there are no babies inside. If there are babies, try removing both adults and babies together.

Capture Every Rat
This involves placing several rat traps in high activity areas. These areas should be easy to spot since you have cleared out your attic. Place the traps along walls and corners, as rats tend to move along such places. Check the traps regularly and dispose of any captured rats.

Carry Out Room Maintenance 
Once you have determined your attic to be rat-free, the next thing to do is to clean and decontaminate the attic. Remove dirt and debris such as wood chips, torn insulation, wires, food remnants, fur, rat carcasses, fecal matter, and other solid objects. Afterward, disinfect the attic to kill the odor and any lingering bacteria that could result in a health crisis.

However, there are times where rats build their nest in areas that you cannot access. Simply call in a licensed pest control company for assistance. They will surely answer the call and send in someone to handle the situation. Aside from their rat extraction services, they offer advice on how to prevent rats from infesting your home.
