Where’s that sound coming from? Is it in the attic? Can you hear it? It’s a gnawing, scratching sound like a small chisel eating away at a wood beam. It’s only the second week of December and way too early for Santa Claus to come knocking. Besides, why would Santa want to scratch around in the attic? You didn’t leave any cookies in there for him. There must be something else making all that noise. Wait… why did the light in the kitchen ceiling just flash? Oh no! It must be rats.
Rats and mice are notorious for burrowing and hiding in your walls and in your attic, especially during the holiday season. Throughout the winter months, they look for ways to keep warm, just like everyone else… and your home is ideal. A rodent infestation in your house is the last thing you want or need to deal with along with all the stress of the holidays. And once you’ve seen one mouse or rat, you’re bound to discover more.
Once rodents make a nest in your home, it’s tough to remove them. You could try using poison bait to drive them away. The problem with poisons though, you run the risk of the rodent dying in your walls or ceiling and rotting. There is nothing quite like the smell of rotting rodents to turn your holiday dinner into a disaster.
When You’ve Tried Everything We are Here to Help
You could attempt to use traps to capture your rodent freeloaders. The concern with traps is you run the risk of possibly being a bit if you do happen to catch the rodent. Although there aren’t many cases of rodents carrying rabies, they do carry other diseases that can cause you and your family great harm. Plus, if you do use a trap, there’s no guarantee you will catch all of the rodents. And what if the rodent you caught had babies? They too would die and rot, causing the same issue as using the poison bait. Also, rodents are very clever and often are able to elude capture while still stealing away the bait from a trap.
