Rat Exterminator, Auburn Maine
Moisture can contribute to conditions that attract rodents. During an inspection, a Rat Exterminator may look for leaking pipes, standing water, damaged drainage, damp basements, and other sources that make an environment more favorable. Removing unnecessary water sources can complement food-storage and exclusion measures. EPA recommends reducing food and water sources when preventing rodent infestations. Addressing moisture may therefore have value beyond the immediate pest issue.
A Rat Exterminator may recommend sealing openings after evidence of active rodents has been addressed. EPA recommends sealing holes inside and outside buildings to prevent rodents from gaining access. Suitable materials depend on the location and size of the opening, as well as the surrounding construction. Exclusion is particularly important when a building has experienced repeated infestations through the same vulnerable area.
A Rat Exterminator may recommend trapping when the circumstances make it appropriate. EPA identifies traps as one option for dealing with rodent infestations. Placement should be based on evidence of rodent movement and the conditions of the property. Simply putting traps in random locations may not address where rats actually travel. Monitoring activity can provide useful information for adjusting the control strategy.
