California's New Rat Problem: Safe Guard Pest Control’s Solution

Introduction

California has always had its share of rodent problems, but recently Newsweek has highlighted a new strain of rat problem that is bombarding cities and suburbs alike. As the proud owner of Safe Guard Pest Control, it is my responsibility to break down what is going on, what it means to you, your family, and your property. Spoiler alert, this is not your average rat tale.

Rise of a New Rat Menace in California

What New Thing Is Happening with Rats in California?

There is a new hybrid rat breed, probably from crossbreeding, which breeds across California. Bigger, more intelligent, and bolder, they scurry faster into our world than ever before, adapting very well to metropolitan and suburban conditions. Traditional controls are tried and proven, and they are hardly effective now.

Why Should You Care?

Apart from the fact that they are annoying as all hell, they cause structural damage, to electrical wiring, and insulation, and they can even render a building unsafe. The rats are much bigger, brainier, and a lot more difficult to trap and eliminate with DIY methods.

How Did It Get This Far?

Trash Makes Way for More Rats

Rats find food and shelter as cities pile on and waste management becomes disarrayed. Construction projects also force the rodents from their homes into businesses or houses.

Warmer Winters Result in More Rats

Climate change makes celery shorter winters, and being warmer, it becomes longer-breeding seasons. This naturally allows more births to happen and results in population booms.
