Now that you’re rat-free, let’s keep it that way. Think of your home as a five-star hotel that never rents to rodents.
Keep your yard tidy. Piles of wood, tall grass, and old junk are rat motels. Don’t give them a place to crash before they try to move back in.
Consider adopting a cat or terrier dog. Even just the smell of a predator can make rats pack their tiny bags and leave. Plus, you get a cuddly friend!
And one more thing—check your home twice a year. A quick walk around the house in spring and fall can save you from a full-blown rodent reunion later.
