Pest Management Professionals are now realizing that the rodent activity in California has spread beyond coastal cities and is now putting 1.2 million people at risk for new health issues in inland cities.

 

 

According to the release from Dan’s Pest Management, population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that more than 1.2 million people live across inland California counties where rodent-related complaints and monitoring alerts have risen in recent years.

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rats and mice are known carriers of pathogens, parasites, and allergens that can affect human health.

The New York media have been fascinated with the topic of rodents running around the city for years, but recently it has been as they seek a newer food source – pigeons.

 

Big Apple rats have been spotted seeking out and jumping on pigeons to take them as a food source. Pigeons are typically overfed by tourists and locals alike making them attractive to rats.

 

A few years ago, a rat was captured on video dragging a piece of pizza into the subway and was donned the nickname, Pizza Rat. Another tugged a burrito onto the subway tracks and was named Burrito Rat. Even worse, another rat was found at Dunkin Donuts eating away.

 

They all have one thing in common – they typically enter a location through the doorway… under it! Doorways are the most common area for rats and mice to sneak into a home or business as the opening under a door can be small and still allow a rodent to squeeze through.

 

Burrtec USA has developed a product that prevents mice and rats from entering both homes, structures and garages. It is called Ratshut.

 

Ratshut is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers.

Knowing what to prevent is half the battle. Rats and mice are distinct creatures and it’s best to know as much as possible about their behavior to stop them from entering a home or business.

 

 

To learn more, here are the basics on both with a link for identification:

 

Mice: Mice are typically 5-7 inches long and that includes their tail. The most common types of mice include the house mouse, deer or field mouse, and white-footed mouse. The house mouse is the one most typically found in residential infestations, lives above ground but will climb at times.

 

Rats: Like mice, rats have three types that are most prevalent – the Norway rat, the roof rat, and the cotton rat. Rats have oversized strong teeth made for gnawing, and many can chew through aluminum, wood, and even concrete! To learn more about mouse and rat identification, visit the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) website.

 

The thing that’s exactly alike with both? They like to sneak under doorways and into homes!

A disgusting site to most – volunteers cleaning a condemned home on Long Island found hundreds of pet rats!

 

The home had about 10 volunteers cleaning it and they discovered 450 rats that were kept there as pets. Unfortunately for those assisting, the rats are in the walls,

 

Infestations throughout a home are tremendously difficult to control, which is why so many professionals try to prevent rodents in the first place.
