1. If you’ve hired other rodent control companies but you still have rats, they are likely sewer rats

2. When you are not catching rats in your traps, you probably have sewer rats. Since they have plenty of food sources elsewhere, they don’t hit the traps for food.

Palm Desert vacation homeowners:  RAT mitigation tips you need to know!

If you own a vacation home in the desert and you don’t want to have rats take over your home, you need to follow these tips:

1. Make sure you add a backflow device to your sewer pipe that exits the exterior of your home. Backflow devices are installed to the underground main sewer line and have doorway flaps. This opens when water flow drains to the city sewer, but closes when nothing is flushing.

2. If you can’t install or afford a backflow device, then make sure you apply foam root killer (like Root X) down your drain every few weeks.

3. Make sure your desert home’s exterior and roof openings are ALL sealed. Remember, just a dime-size hole can let mice enter, and a quarter-size hole can let rats enter your home.

We hope these tips and rat insight helped you.
