Rats

Rats need to be excluded from your structure at this time. This may require the installation of quarter inch mesh galvanized steel wire hardware cloth over any openings into your structure. (Young mice can squeeze through any opening larger than a quarter inch.) Baiting can then be done on the outside of your structure. Glue boards or traps can then be used on the inside. We do not use baits inside of a structure because the rodent will feed on it then crawls into some space and die causing a foul odor. Keep the baits outside of the structure.
