NJ is under a State of Emergency as a nor’easter storm approaches. Expect heavy rain and wind gusts through Sunday. Residents are urged to stay indoors, avoid travel, and keep clear of flooded or coastal areas.
As the weather warms up and we start to spend more of our time outside we may encounter wildlife that may have otherwise gone unnoticed, including rats. While there are many factors that contribute to why there may be an increase in rodent activity, there are a number of ways you can keep your property and your community free of rodents.
Rats, like all animals need food, water and shelter. Survey your home and see if any changes can be made to reduce food, water or harborage sources for unwelcome visitors.
The success of the rodent control program is dependent upon the cooperation of you as an individual and as a community member. If you have any questions please contact your local health department. If you notice any rodent activity (burrows/sightings) on your property please contact a certified Pest Control Operator for assistance.
