Rats in My Neighborhood…Really?

We usually think about rats as city pests. We picture them running in dark city alleys to reach their nests in broken foundations or they may be scurrying into burrows under dumpsters behind seedy restaurants.  Suburbia beware!  Rats have found their way out to us as well in Suburban Chicagoland.

Here is how suburban rats occur –

1.  Strip malls nearby with food courts

2.  A neighbor who has a lot of debris on their property

3.  Large numbers of dogs being boarded somewhere close

4.  Overflowing garbage

5.  Bird feeders

Rats are not exclusively urban dwellers anymore.  Just like you, they have found their way out to the ‘Burbs.  When you have a rat problem anywhere around Suburban Chicagoland the very first thing to do is call professional rat exterminator A Complete Pest Solution.  They will eliminate those dirty rats from your property.  That phone number is (630) 464-1542.

7500 Rat Complaints.

If that sounds like a lot of rat problems nationwide it probably would be.  The problem is…that is just the number of rat infestations reported in Chicago ONLY!  EEEEEK indeed.  That number which is from 2016 (we will see what 2017 reports) is the highest number of rat complaints in the second decade of the 21st century.

Several US cities, in fact have had a significant increase in rat complaints.  Just five years ago there were a little more than HALF that many!  I think just about everyone would agree that a rat on your property be it in the suburbs or the city is an unacceptable health risk.  Make no mistake about it…being in the ‘Burbs doesn’t make you exempt from the problem.

This is not a situation that you can tolerate.  Maybe you just lived with mosquitos this summer and maybe there were some bees causing a distraction, but this is much more serious.  It may be time to call Chicagoland rat control expert A Complete Pest Solution.  Have the pros eliminate those vermin once and for all by calling (630) 464-1542.

Beware of Rats as Well as Mice

In 2013 Chicago was named the #1 rat infested city in America!  That is a sobering statistic.  Even if you live in the more affluent suburbs, your home and especially your property - if you live in a populated - area are not immune.  Because the weather is about to change for the worst these nasty creatures seek shelter in the human infrastructure eating garbage and living in our buildings.

There is little or nothing cute about rats.  Besides being gross and disgusting they also are a health issue.  They not only carry their own diseases that can spread to humans, but they are a haven for insects who contract their diseases and then bite humans and pass them along.  Beware that pregnant women and children are particularly at risk.
