Seal every entry point
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 1.5 cm. Check pipes, vents, door gaps, and cable holes, then seal them with gnaw-resistant materials like steel wool or cement. Closing entry points is the most decisive step.
Use the right baits and traps
Place traps along rodent runways (usually hugging walls), not in the middle of rooms. Enclosed bait stations are safer for homes with children and pets. For large infestations, professional treatment with monitoring is more effective.
Stay clean so rats don't return
Store food in sealed containers, manage kitchen waste well, and remove water sources. A clean environment with no food access makes your home unattractive to rats.
Frequently asked questions
Why do rats keep coming back?
Usually because entry points are still open and food sources remain. Without proofing and sanitation, new rats simply replace the old ones.
Is professional rodent control safe for children?
Yes. Technicians use enclosed bait stations placed out of reach of children and pets, following measured safety procedures.
