After finding a rat in her laundry room, this customer in East Brunswick, NJ immediately called our office for help and we were sent out. The first thing we did was inspect the exterior of the home to see if there are any entry points. Sure enough, we found a dryer exhaust vent that exposed and damaged by the elements. This was how the rats were able to infest the home! First, we carefully cleaned up all the rat droppings that we found inside and outside the home. Afterward, we installed rodent bait stations in the laundry room, the attached garage, the two adjacent rooms, the crawl space (at the owner's request), and along the exterior of the home. Lastly, we scheduled several follow up visits to monitor the activity and replenish the bait stations as needed. Once all the rats are removed from the home, our Little Rascals Nuisance Wildlife Removal team will come out and install a DryerWallVent® over the exhaust vent. The DryerWallVent® is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel and its large opening and angled damper provide maximum airflow efficiency for safe venting. Integrated magnets keep the damper closed when not in use, preventing rats, bats, birds, and all nuisance wildlife from infesting the home.Rats Use the Dryer Vent to Infest Home in East Brunswick, NJ
