The most worse part of rat activity is “when we lay down in bed after a long hardworking day and we start hearing their tiny feet running in our ceiling, snuggling sounds and scratching to walls”.
Most of residents feel that these are mice but however, we “Rat Control Toronto”, rat and mice expert are warning you that these could be mice fat friends called as RAT.
There is a big misconception among the people that when the temperature goes up or on rise, rats and mice leave the home and start living outdoor.
You might be lucky if this happened with you but according to experts, instinct of rodents keep them residing where penalty of food and water is available. No one wants to leave the haven and your home is always haven for mice and rats.

Types of Rats Found in Ontario
Roof Rats:
Roof rats range in size from about 14 to 20 inches from nose to tail, and can weigh around 10 ounces. The range in colour from dark brown t back with smooth, furry slender bodies, and longs tails with large ears and eyes. These rats are omnivorous but prefer foods such as fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and seeds. They are prey to a variety of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, owls.
Roof rats can pose a threat to both the health of humans and to buildings. Much like other rats and mice, they can spread disease by direct contamination through urine, feces and bites. Roof rats can also spread disease indirectly when infected roof rats are bitten by fleas and mosquitoes that then go on to bite other hosts infecting them. Roof rats can also potentially cause structural damage by compromising the integrity of building foundations and walkways. In addition, they can also cause damage by gnawing on doors, pipes, and electrical wires (which can be a fire hazard).

In some parts of the world, Norway rats are stood responsible for extinction of small species in birds, mammalians and some reptiles.
Norway rats are also known as ‘Brown Rats’ and can survive in harsh cold winter.
According to government of Alberta, Norway rats are one of the most destructive creatures known to man.

They can also gnaw holes in floors, walls, insulation and supporting structures.
Typically Norway rats settle on the ground, but some are excellent climbers. They are good climber and can run along narrow branches and wires.
Some live in burrows or build nests under such things as boulders and rotting tree trunks. They can even live in rock crevices or caves or large city buildings, sewage, subways lines, foundation walls of aged homes, under the deck warm areas but they are fully capable to survive the winter outdoors in Canada.

Peak times are spring and autumn and if you see burrows around your house call PEST CONTROL AND EXTERMINATORS to get rid of Norway rat quickly and effectively.
When residents come to know that they have mice or Rats?
If residents are not hearing sounds in walls, rat and mice usually remain un-noticed for a long period of time. When their population increased, then residents start seeing their dropping s in furnace area, in kitchen under sink, around dishwasher, or in laundry room.
The residents tried their own to get rid of rats or mice by using snap traps, but at that time only trapping will not exterminate the rat or mice.
On this stage “commercial rodenticide” treatment is required because any further delay will cause more serious problems as mice and rats multiply very quickly. f the year, rat and mice find a small hole at your exterior walls and squeeze in for warm, cozy shelter. After entering the house, they found the way to kitchen and other food storage areas. Ultimately, they find their food.
