ACT QUICKLY WHEN YOU NOTICE RAT ACTIVITY

Helping Protect Your Property From Rats

Rats Can Create Property and Sanitation Concerns
Rat activity may leave droppings, gnaw marks, nesting debris, damaged materials and contamination around food, waste or storage areas.

Outdoor Conditions Can Support Continued Activity
Accessible garbage, pet food, compost, clutter, sheltered areas and exterior openings may attract rats or allow them to remain close to a building.
