Steps to Take ASAP if You Find a Rat's Nest in YOUR Newark Attic!

Nobody would want to come back to find a New Jersey rats' nest in their Newark attic. Having rats in your attic can really be a frustrating experience. They could wreck some damage in the area or start attempting to access other parts of your house from there. If you have found a rats' nest in your attic, the steps should take include:

  • Inspection of the whole building
  • Seal all holes
  • Eliminate the rats
  • Clean up



  • Inspection of the Whole Building

    The first thing you want to do if you find a rats' nest in your attic is to inspect your entire Newark building. There must have been a way through which the rat was able to exploit to access your building. If you don' t inspect properly and block all holes, the rat or other rats could find their back in after you relocate them.

    Seal All Holes

    After a careful inspection, ensure that you seal every hole you might have found. Sealing the holes will help to ensure that New Jersey rats cannot find its way back into your house anymore, even if they get to your environment.

    Eliminate the Rats

    The next thing to do is to eliminate the rats. Eliminating does not necessarily mean killing the rats. It could mean relocating them to other locations with thoughts and plans about how to make it easier for them to survive in their new location. However, there is still the option of killing them even though it is not humane. The use of traps is common ways of capturing and killing rats.

    Clean UP

    After you are sure there are no more rats in your Newark house, the next thing you want to do is clean your New Jersey attic and every part the rat has visited in your home. This is to avoid the spread of disease.
