Roof rats can carry a variety of pathogens and parasites, including salmonellosis (food contamination), leptospirosis, trichinosis, rat-bite fever, murine typhus, plague, and toxoplasmosis. Diseases can be spread via urine, droppings, or saliva. To prevent transmission, it’s essential to promptly address a roof rat infestation and avoid direct contact with the animals where possible.
You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.
Home warranties typically do not cover pest control services or related damage in their basic plans. However, some companies offer premium plans or limited add-ons that may provide some coverage. These optional coverages often come with limitations, such as dollar caps, maximum payout amounts, or exclusions for specific pests. It is crucial to review the details of your specific home warranty policy to determine if pest control is covered and to understand any associated limitations.
Fleas are master hiders, so they’re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they’re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They’re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it’s important to keep the home clean.
Keep flies out of your house by keeping the windows or doors closed, especially when cooking. You can also install window screens to prevent pests from entering your home while allowing a cool breeze to enter your home.
