Common Rodent Entry Ways for Rats
Our goal is to ensure all potential entry points from the roof to the foundation are sealed so that rats and other rodents are unable to re-enter the home or building.

Common Types of Rats
![Norway-Rat-Vancouver-BC-](https://blitzpest.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Norway-Rat-Vancouver-BC-.jpg)
Norway Rat
Norway rats are quite large and like to burrow and therefore build their nests in wall voids, underneath sidewalks or decking, and may dig up and nest in vegetation. These rats can also turn up in attics and crawlspaces though, you most likely won’t see them during the day. Norway rats hide in daylight and come out at night.
Norway Rat Behaviour and Diet
These rats enjoy a wide selection of foods including meats, grains, dead animals, fruits, nuts and grains. Norway rats require water and prefer to colonize near water sources. These rats mature in between two and five months and breeds during any month!
Signs of Infestation
As mentioned above, Norway rats usually stay in hiding during the day, so if you do see this type of rat in broad daylight, this is a strong indicator that your property or home may be infested — these rats would not expose themselves during the day unless they are driven out of their hiding spaces or are limited on space.
Roof Rats
Roof Rat Behaviour and Diet
Roof rats are incredible climbers and are often found at higher levels such as trees, roofs, attics and on top of structures. This specific rat is highly adaptable and can thrive in almost any environment but prefers to nest in wood piles or garbage. Nocturnal by nature, roof rats prefer to munch on fruits and nuts, although they will eat anything available such as meat and grain.
Signs of Infestation
If you see a roof rat out in the open, this is most likely because they were either pushed out of their hiding spots by other rats, or they have been disturbed in some way. If you see droppings, notice that roof rat droppings are 12-13 mm in length and have pointed ends. Grease marks that trail behind them is another strong indicator that you have a roof rat infestation.
It is very important to note that roof rats are carriers of diseases that can be transmitted through bites and physical contact. If you suspect that you may have a rat infestation, contact our experts at Westside Pest Control right away. We’ll ask all the right questions and provide you with a free estimate as quickly as possible.

Common Signs
Have you seen a rat scurry across your garage or basement?
In both urban and suburban regions, rats are a common issue that, if left unchecked, may become quite a nuisance. Westside Pest Control, which specialises in rodent control, will thoroughly inspect your home and provide a personalised, practical plan to keep rats out of your house or place of business.
Rats are commonly distinguishable from mice by their greater size and longer tails; these creatures primarily eat meals high in carbs and obtain their vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
TAKE CARE TO SEALED YOUR COMPOST!
Unbeknownst to many of us, rats are a considerably more frequent urban nuisance in Vancouver and the lower mainland.
Rats Are Voracious Chewers
The gnaw marks on this pipe show that a very thirsty rat had used it. The terrible outcome was a completely flooded basement and significant home damage. When dealing with rats, Westside professionals never put poison inside a house. Rats will become incredibly thirsty since poison is an anticoagulant. To locate nests and access points, Blitz Pest Control professionals conduct thorough inspections. To help stop serious rat damage like chewed pipes, all entry points are secured, and traps are carefully placed both within and outside the home.

Happy Customers
Birds came back after they were taken out. Technician were supposed to came back last week but he did not. I am glad that he at least informed me a day before that he won’t able to make it and he came back today and put up the birds spike for free. This company really stands by their guaranteed commitment. I had used Blitz in the past too. I understand sometimes especially in summer they get very busy and sometimes they may not make it on time but the good thing about this company is that they always come back for the follow up visits.
