Rats in attic in summer.

We had our home resided this summer. Even rats in the wild equally remain highly during the summer season. You are probably already aware that rats are not the cleanliest of creatures that could be living in your house. Rats in your home both young and old are always active during the summer season.

There are two main species of rats in the us the roof rat and the norway rat. House mice live everywhere and they also commonly go inside attics. The roof rat is more common in warm areas and more likely to enter the attic. Norway rats are usually brown and are more commonly found in sewers and basements.

If you think you may have a rat living in your attic then you need to get up there and investigate further. Norway rats tend to stick to the ground and the sewers and basements in their stomping grounds up north. I was surprised because it was 100 degrees outside heat index was 108 and the attic heat would have been much much hotter guessing 130 140. The most obvious sign that you have rats in the attic is they will leave rat droppings all over the place.

At that time we started hearing noises in the attic. Most times they are found moving around the house running from the ceiling to the floor disturbing everyone even during the day time when they ought to be asleep.
