Rats are wild animals that have learned to benefit by creating a close relationship with people. They pay particular attention to our yards and homes when their outdoor habitats no longer provide safe shelter, easy access to food, or there is harsh weather.
A rat’s curious nature and intelligence allow them to easily find and take advantage of openings that lead into our Rochester homes. Some of their most common entry points include holes along the roofline or roof intersections, gaps around windows and doors, cracks in the foundation, and chimneys or vents.
