So... what do YOU do about rats invading your outdoor space from adjoining yards?
Our exterminator sets traps, puts out poison, bait, etc.
We still get rats from other buildings in the block.
Maybe the other buildings are not doing anything, in regard to exterminating. I would try reaching out to the nearby buildings and see what you all can do as a group to battle this problem. If your building is the only one doing anything it is a waste of time and money.
Good luck.
You may place poison as suggested in strategic places such as a hole in the ground. In addition, I would make sure that there are no entry points into your own building basement through open windows, holes from utility penetrations, etc.
If rats are seen outside, it would an event similar to seeing a cat, squirrel or skunk in your backyard. Wild and domestic animals share the space with us, humans. Consequently, don't be alarmed and protect your house from entry.
