Welcome to the EvoFoam Pest Control Podcast
Hello, I’m Damian Niquette, and today we’re discussing a prevalent issue in Austin: roof rats.
Roof Rats in Austin, Texas
Roof rats, traditionally more common in coastal areas, have become a significant concern here, especially after the drought a decade ago that drove them inland. Now, they live among us, seeking food and shelter, which can lead to difficult infestations.
Professional Rat Control
Fortunately, as homeowners and business owners, you have access to pest control experts like us. One of the most effective strategies is to maintain a recurring pest service. Even if you’re not currently experiencing rodent issues, regular treatments allow us to spot potential problems, like droppings or signs of activity, before they escalate.
Prevention Tips
Here are some essential tips for preventing roof rats:
- Reduce Clutter: Keep your yard tidy to minimize attractants.
- Trim Trees: Branches should be cut back about 3-5 feet from your home, as roof rats can jump distances of 2-3 feet.
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your soffits and garage corners for holes and seal them. Even small openings can allow rats inside.
Understanding Rat Breeding
Roof rats reproduce quickly, with a short gestation period. A small problem can escalate rapidly, potentially leading to a significant infestation in just a couple of months.
