Your home offers warm and protected shelter, and your household items provide nesting materials and your storage and kitchen supply them with much needed food. When they invade your home, you must look out for their nests in the following places. It is always a better ideal to exterminate them by calling experts like BBPP, top rat control Markham and get rid of them.
Where to find rats’ nests in your home?
Lofts ant attics
Rats like secluded places like lofts and attics and it is ideally suited for their nest because occupants rarely visit these places. This is where they will establish their nests. You will also find them under the roof as it offers a cozy and secure nesting place.
Basement and cellars
Basement and cellars are absolutely lonely places where you will venture in only when you need to bring garden tools or a wine bottle. These are well secured places because the spaces are filled with household items and you don’t tread in these places often. Rats will ideally find nesting materials like card board boxes, abandoned sofa like items, crates and bags, all termed as great nesting places.
Walls and foundations
Wall voids are perfect hiding places for rats as they are inaccessible to human and absolutely hidden from prying eyes. Once the rats find a small hole or crevice in the wall they will chew and make them bigger where they will start building their nest using household materials that they have shredded to make cozy building materials.
Garages and outhouses
These are other secluded portions of a home where you don’t frequent. Some of these garages will have an old car permanently parked and the car engine hood will make a protected shelter for rats. Outhouses are other near abandoned places where you occasionally visit or retrieve some extra items that you need for some purpose. Rats are likely to find heaps of unused materials lying in these places that they will use advantageously to build nests.
Gardens
Gardens are ideal hiding places for rats and they will find them convenient for building nests and rearing their litter. A garden filled with plants, grass, fallen figs and leaves, logs and tree stumps, heaps of wood will make great nest building site and it will also supply rats with foods like plans, crops, grains, and fruits, and other items that rats eat. Your garden will also supply rats with water as it is liberally used during gardening.
