HabitsRoof rats, mice and rodents in general, are known for the damage they cause by chewing on materials and eating stored foods.
HabitatRoof rats can be found in the upper parts of buildings, and can also be found under, in and around structures. They only need a space of one-half inch to get into buildings. Stop Bugging Me Pest Control can help to exclude rodents from entering your home.
