I have been battling the intelligent and wily rat all winter long! They are able to learn and teach their young of dangers. They are very cautious, unlike mice that are purely curious and thus easier to catch. Rats can be trap or bait shy because they are suspicious of new objects in their environment. Rats can be rogue in the sense that they have a larger territory than do mice. Rats will forage within 50 – 150 foot range and mice only 10-30 foot range.
Many times I have trapped one rogue rat that is causing havoc in a home and then the problem is solved as long as the entry points have been taken care of. I call this exclusion. I will not quit until I can declare your home “clear” of rodents!
Call me-Nik at 541.579.6847 and I will investigate and repair (within reason) entry points in and around your home that will ensure that rodents cannot enter! Of course I will bait and or trap in accordance to the most appropriate situation. Yes, rodents will still be around in the neighborhood, however you can protect your home by making smart decisions. Total Pest Control is there for you!
