Rats are dangerous creatures. Small as they may be, they can cause a lot of harm and damage to residents and their properties. So if you see just one rat on your property, you must take steps to get rid of it right away. Instead of investing your time and money in DIY methods, it is best to seek the assistance of rat removal experts to ensure the pests are completely removed and will not come back.
The Trouble with DIY Rat Removal
Many property owners consider resorting to DIY rat removal methods when facing a rat infestation. However, it is highly recommended that you rely on professionals to permanently eliminate the problem. Common issues that arise when attempting DIY rat removal include:
Accidental Injury
Snap traps and cage traps can easily be triggered by curious pets and children if not placed in hard-to-reach locations, resulting in painful injuries and broken fingers.
Chemical Poisoning
Rat poisons contain very powerful and toxic chemicals that can harm both animals and humans if ingested, so they must be applied with extreme care and consideration. Furthermore, poisons can lead to larger issues if a poisoned rat dies within your walls or in an unreachable crawl space above ceiling. As its carcass decomposes, the stench will spread throughout your home, lasting for days until you finally find and remove the dead rat.
Spread of Disease
Rat traps require you to come into direct contact with rats to dispose of their dead carcasses. However, rats are carriers of many infectious diseases like hantavirus and rat bite fever which can spread to humans through direct contact, bites, scratches, or consuming food contaminated with their saliva or urine.
To avoid such health risks to you or your family, rely on professional rat removal experts who are equipped with the knowledge, experience, and equipment to safely remove rats from your property.
