Burrows Created by Rats Found by the Back Door in Princeton Junction, NJ

Challenge

During an initial inspection for a condominium complex in Princeton Junction, NJ we noticed a large burrow right by the entrance to the back door of the office. As we took a closer look, we found a ton of rat droppings around it. Turns out that this burrow was made by a rat and that the property has an infestation of them.

Rats create these burrows to travel from their nest to a food source and to escape predators. Rat burrows usually contain a main entrance and 1 or 2 exit holes away from the main entrance.

Solution

We installed several Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations near each of the burrows. Next, we installed several snap traps that are inside temper-proof, child resistant boxes near the burrows. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the rat infestation, apply any additional treatments, and replenish the bait stations as needed.
