Rat Control
![]() |
Norway rats are primarily a nocturnal, outdoor inhabitant.
Outdoors, they live in burrows and under piles of trash.
Occasionally they will find a way to set up housekeeping
indoors. Outdoor rats probe the exterior perimeter
of buildings at night seeking food and shelter. Outdoors,
they feed on insects, grains, garbage, garbage dumpsters,
dog food, and bird seed. They follow pipes, holes in
the foundation, beneath garage roll doors, and any
other opening they can find to enter a building. Once
inside, they forage for food, such as dead insects,
kitchen scraps, and pantry items. Once established
indoors, they investigate their territory multiple
times a night looking for food.
Rats defecate and urinate throughout their territories.
Some serious diseases of humans are associated with
rat infestations. They are certainly unwelcomed guests
in and around buildings. Amendt Pest Control State-certified
sales and service technicians are on call to eliminate
