Will Black Pepper Keep Rats Away

There is a Rat in my House

Pests need very little space to slip through holes and this is often an unknown fact which gets ignored a lot. Sealing up these holes will prevent any incoming pests from gaining entry. Neighbourhoods that are close to urban areas that are filled with restaurants such as Koreatown, Parkdale, or Queen St. have an overall much higher chance of being infected with rat. This again comes down to an abundance of food, water, and shelter.

If you notice a rat presence in your house, then take immediate action by hiring fully licensed and insured professionals from Pest Control Oshawa. 

There are ways to prevent mice from being attracted to your property. This includes but is not limited to locking your garbage bins, not leaving your pet food outside, and fixing leaky pipes where water comes through. This will minimize the chances but will not entirely stop the mice in their tracks to find out what they can get their hands on inside especially during the colder months.

There are many reasons why your house is experiencing a rat infestation or why rats would be harbouring in your house in the first place. Rats have many reasons to enter your house. One of the principal reasons why rats are in your house is because of the abundance of food and like any animal rats are always in the search of food given that most houses have the opportunity to have easy access to food. Another reason why you might be experiencing a rat infestation is the fact that some older buildings especially in the Greater Toronto Area have some structural damage, meaning that rats can gain access through crevices, holes, and cracks.

Basements have hollow parts in the wall which they can chew through which can you give them access to the inside. Another reason why rats are in your house is because of the amount of clutter. Rats are known to hide behind everything they can find as they are very resourceful rodents. One of the most common reasons why rats enter your house is because scraps are left out in the open, which is more than a good enough reason to go inside the house.
