Roof Rat Infestations Wreak Havoc On Your Roof, Attic And Garages

I had a live on-air interview on KHTS FM 98.1 & AM 1220 recently to discuss the pest of the season, and what Santa Clarita residents experience throughout the year when it comes to pest control.
When heat of the summer is gone, we stop getting as many big calls about bugs, spiders and black widows. The Fall shifts immediately into termite season, because that is when swarming season starts.
Then when January and February roll around, I’m swamped with calls about rats. The cold makes rats hormonal and that makes them mate more. The breading causes the noises that you hear in your attic. Santa Clarita specifically has a lot of roof rat infestations, and they can wreak havoc on your roof, attic and even garage.
Many people call when they find the rat poop around the house, in the attic or the garage, but you may also just hear them. What can seem like a really loud noise, can turn out to be one small rat chewing through pipes to get to water.
