Since Spring is here, it is time to look around your property and start your Spring cleanup. Your property will not only look better but it will keep the little pests away. So, here is a little info: The rats donʼt like daylight. They come out at night to feed, find water, and perhaps start another nest inside the old inoperable car in your driveway. (By the way you can expect a violation letter from the office any time now!) The rats like anywhere in or out of your home that is dark. To keep them away from your property, clear the areas where you have any type of accumulation like wood piles, boxes, debris and junk. Donʼt use your front/back porch or carport as a storage unit for appliances, couches, etc. (Again, this is a violation of the CC&Rʼs). If you have any low growing bushes, trim them up so they arenʼt touching the ground and clear your property from leaves. Look around and think like a rat: “if itʼs warm, dark, out of the weather, it is my new home”! They will chew through anything to get nesting material. Donʼt use poison to kill the rats. Poison takes a week or more to do its job and in the meantime you will have more rats because they think the poison is food (Weird, isnʼt it). If a cat or hawk get a hold of the poisoned rat before it is dead, the cat or hawk is history also in about a week. Use traps to kill them and clear out the nests immediately. The moral of the story: If you clean up your property you wonʼt get a violation letter and you wonʼt get pack rats!
