Ah, Rats...

We don’t like to think about them, but they’re likely there. I learned a lot about rats in the past few weeks. They enter in crawl spaces, especially and love to live there. Many of us may have them in our crawl spaces and we don’t even know it.

Unfortunately, when they come in, they leave their ‘scent’ under your house and that scent attracts other rats. And eventually… well, you know the rest.

Why do I bring this nasty topic up? Because it would be good to know about them PRIOR to it being a big issue and having to replace all of your insulation, etc in the crawl space. Not a fun topic, but important nonetheless, especially if you have young children or are planning on selling your home sometime soon (because an inspector will find them and you’ll probably have to take care of it anyway).

Good luck!
