We have been solving Arizona Pack Rat issues since 1947!

Follow these pack rat control tips to avoid an infestation:

• Avoid storage boxes and other items that may give shelter to pack rats on patios or along the sides of buildings and walls.

• Store fire wood off the ground and away from any wall or other obstruction.

• Keep carports clear of stored items to eliminate hiding places.

• If pack rats have been in a car engine compartment, have it steam cleaned to destroy the scent and leave the hood open at night. Leaving the carport light on at night will help.

• Rodent-proof/exclude all possible entry points; be sure the pack rat is not trapped inside the building!

• A pack rats  can squeeze through a half-inch hole.

• Be sure doors fit correctly and have door sweeps.

• Be sure windows are screened properly.

• Exhaust fans and ventilation vents on the roof/attic level should be Screened.

• Keep ground covering plants cut/mow low to the ground.

• Do not allow Agaves, Aloe, Yuccas and other cacti to grow in tight groups.

• Do not allow a skirt of dead branches to form on Agaves and Yuccas.
  • Keep the bases trimmed.
  • Thin out dense cactus and landscape plantings.
    
  • Trim off any paddles that turn sideways providing overhead shelter.
