Rat Exterminators In Germantown TN - Fire Hazards

Any wildlife technician will tell you that the most common and most destructive species to enter your home is the Rat. Rats constantly chew to keep their teeth filed down, or else they would starve to death. As a result, they will chew anything and everything they can find, especially your wiring!

Chewed wires by animals are a leading cause of house fires in the United States. We take this situation very seriously, so when performing an inspection on a property with possible rodent or squirrel damage, our technicians always check the wiring in the attic. If you suspect that you may have squirrels or rats, please contact an electricial first. And then call Apex Wildlife Control. We will quickly rid your home of those dangerous pests!

DIY Rat Removal In Germantown TN - Trapping Vs Poison

At Apex Wildlife Control, we solve your rat problems with trapping and exclusion. Exclusion is the word used for sealing the entry points in your home so that more rats cannot continue to enter your home. Our technicians are skilled at trapping and removing these pesky rodents.

Now some companies will “treat” a rat problem with poison. Unfortunately, this method slowly kills the rats inside your home. A dead rat in your attic is usually pretty easy to remove, but often a rat will die inside your walls or ceiling. Unless you enjoy the smell of a decomposing rats in your home for several weeks, we would advise against the use of rat poison. When using traps, it is far easier to locate the dead animal in the trap. Despite the strong smell, its always harder to find an animal that died somewhere in your wall.

How To Get Rid Of Rats In Germantown TN - Types Of Rats

Roof rats and Norway rats are some of the most dangerous and destructive animals to have on your property. A Norway rat a lighter brown color, larger and tends to live in crawl spaces and the lower areas of your home. A Roof Rat is smaller and darker, and are named for their tendency to enter your home through your construction gap. The construction gap is often called builder’s gap, and is located in the space where your shingles meet the side of your home. This gap is left there to allow the attic to breathe, but unfortunately many home builders leave these gaps unsecured so that squirrels and rodents can squeeze through and enter your attic.

Both Norway Rats and Roof Rats are known for their excessive chewing which helps to regulate the size of their teeth. Unless rats chew constantly, their teeth can grow up to SIX INCHES long in a year!
