Rats are very difficult to deal with on a daily basis because there so in tune with their surroundings that small traps, baits, or other rat prevention techniques often times are not effective enough to fend off the annoying pests.

In the case when a new smell, sound, noise, or sight is brought to the rats attention, there is no way the annoying rodent is dramatically affected.

RatsThere are two common types of rats that we commonly come across when people call for rodent control. One, is the roof rat, which is pictured to the right or below. It is a climber and often is found in attics. The other is the norway rat which will usually climb around in walls biting through wires, wood, and other materials.

MolesMoles are rarely spotted due to spending most of their time underground as well. They have large hands used for burrowing, a big nose, and tiny eyes. They are searching for small organisms underground, particularly worms. Since worms are good for your property, moles are bad news. Along with the holes they dig, they prevent proper composting of soil and your grass will die quickly if you allow them around too long.

VolesGarden voles, while slight in size can be quite detrimental to your property. While they don't dig up holes all over your yard, they will dig a couple holes to hid while it is unsafe. Once they deem it okay, they will come out and eat all of your leafy plants and chew on the roots. If you don't get to them quick, they can destroy your entire garden. While they look like mice, they are a completely different species. They are often referred to as field mice. Call Pest Control Berkeley if you see any garden voles. (510) 900-8593

Rodent characteristics are similar to humans in that they are both known as warm-blooded mammals. There are not very many others in the animal kingdom that can brag about this. Generally speaking, anywhere you find humans you will find rodents close by. There is a strong rodent connection to humans and there will be forever. Without humans it is very difficult for rodents, rats, and mice to live. The distinct rodent feature most people have in there mind is a small, fuzzy little mammal with huge front teeth. The large, oversized teeth are not from eating but rather rodent evolution has turned these mammals into little chewing monsters. Most Americans live in wooden built homes so the rodent issue is even more severe.
Today, more than ever the US builds homes and homes with wood, because it’s cheap and in some parts of the country it’s smart, due to heavily concentrated earthquake prone areas. For the common rodents, plastic and wood are the most normal and chewed substance. Many times you can simply look at your attic’s floor plan and see the rodents marks or droppings. Any sign of rodents such as, marks, droppings, or even poop should not be taken lightly, and should be immediately addressed without hesitation.
If you see a rodent in your property you may have a serious rodent problem looming. Most people don’t know that rodents never hibernate in the winter time like bears and beasts. In the winter time and in other times of cold weather, rodents actively look for warmth and warm areas. If there's one rodent there may be others coming soon because rats can birth close to eighty-four babies without you even having a clue what’s going on. It’s important to notice these types of rat situations because without your thought or awareness your property could turn into a rat den with a blink of the eye.
All year round rodents reproduce. There’s is no rodent time table that goes over exactly when new babies will be born. Some rodents breed faster than others, it may depend a lot of the time on rat environment and nutrition. The size of rodents gives them a distinct advantage over many other animals because space isn’t as big of a deal to them. Tight space has little importance to rodents, because wiggling around into the next hole is never truly a big rodent obstacle. Due to these annoying holes in the walls or gaps rodents can pass into a professional rodent control expert should be called to the scene to inspect, maintain, or eliminate the rodent crime. Rodent criminal justice is needed to fend of the annoying little house pests. (510) 900-8593
