Rats:
Roof Rat • Norgway
As transporters of disease, it is important to
keep rodents out of your family’s living space. There are very
few mice in this part of Florida. We have however a rat that lives in
trees and attics of homes. Exclusion is the process of building
barriers to eliminate rodent access. All homes should have exclusion
work performed
periodically. Never place poison baits in the
attic because the rat will probably die and smell after falling
down inside a wall. While trapping is a better choice inside
a home, baiting is done on the outside in approved bait stations. |
