Rats | Mice Inside Home Attic

Citrus Rats are a specific kind of rat that breed uncontrollably in warm, coastal climates. Citrus rats (also called roof or black rats) are found throughout the country, but especially prolific in climates like Fort Lauderdale, FL where these rodents really create difficult problems for the homeowner. Citrus rats easily climb up to the roof from touching tree branches or porch screens and inevitably come across weak points through the eave to get into the house attic.

Why do rats go into the attic?
Roof rats breed in attics for 3 main reasons:

1). Warm Temperature: Rats are tropical animals and crave warmth. When nighttime temperatures fall below 70 degrees, Ft Lauderdale rats are driven to seek a warmer home to get out of the wild.

2). Mating: Rats are hyper programmed to reproduce. They constantly scent out other rats instinctively to find mates. An attic that has ever had a rat problem will hold on to an attractive rat scent. New rats in the area will be driven to join these rats to continue breeding.

3). Safe From Predators: Attics are free of predators (unless the attic also contains yellow rat snakes!). Like all critters, rats avoid danger for themselves and their offspring by seeking escape from predators such as hawks, cats, snakes, and dogs.

Potential Rat Damage to sensitive attic wiring and ductwork is the main reason to eliminate and remove the rats quickly and permanently. Rats innately chew and gnaw all the time just like other rodents, including mice and squirrels. Rats in the attic can fray electric wires, cause leaks in air ducts, and explode plumbing pipes. This threat is a serious fire-hazard, and many unexplained fires are attributed to uncontrolled rat problems.

How To Remove Rats In The Attic The key to solving rat problems is to find how the rats are getting into the attic, seal these weak points, and trap the attic heavily for the rats using at least a dozen snap traps once they are sealed inside the building.

Rat Health Concerns include Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Rat-bite fever, and leptospirosis. Rats in the attic leave behind droppings which spawn bacteria. Rats in the attic can descend into kitchen and contaminate the home's food in the kitchen. Rats can also descend into the home to gnaw on young children especially if they have some food spills on their body.

Attic Restoration is recommended for attics where droppings have accumulated. Some homes need the attic vacuumed and insulation sprayed down, others need the attic insulation completely replaced depending on how long the Ft Lauderdale animal problem was left uncontrolled.
