Rat Facts<\/h2>\n

Larger than their mice cousins (www.atticpestauthority.com\/mice-in-attic<\/a>), rats share many characteristics, such as pervasiveness and the ability to adapt to almost any living environment. They might be the more annoying version of mice, though, as they are bigger and would probably do more damage to your property if left untreated. I’ve had my fair share of infestation back in the days, and I can definitely say that rats are much more problematic. <\/p>\n

Originally wild creatures, rats began following humans as cities expanded because they provided such easy access to food and shelter. Today, rats are opportunistic feeders and will scavenge anything they can from your home, including garbage, unsealed food and pet food.<\/span><\/p>\n
