Rats in Your Attic: A Serious Threat to Your Home
Rats are among the most common pests that invade attics in Texas, causing significant damage to homes and businesses. Norway rats and roof rats are the primary species found in the state, both of which can easily enter attics through gaps in walls, vents, or damaged roofing. Once inside, rats often nest in insulation, attics, or dark, quiet spaces where they can stay hidden.
These nocturnal creatures not only chew on electrical wiring, insulation, and structural wood, but they also leave droppings and urine that can spread harmful diseases. Their gnawing can even lead to fires if they damage electrical systems. If you suspect rats in your attic, quick action is crucial to avoid escalating problems.
