Before you even know they could set up their whole family entrance through your drainage system into your very own homes. Food, water and shelter are three main reasons that can allure rats to any place. Drainage systems are one of the best sources of water, even food and a way to set up their shelter inside our homes. So how to deter rats from entering our drainage system? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>In this blog below, we will get down to the root of this problem and find out the ways to stop rats from entering our drainage system and homes.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-dashed\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #cc0212;\">What attracts rats to our drainage system?<\/span><\/h2><\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodents have a long history of association with drains. Ras are attracted to moist, safe and dark environments. The drainage system provides them with exactly what they need. They can easily find the source of food which can be our very kitchen, store or other storing places. Rats can enter through the smallest crack and climb across the thinnest string. With these skills, they can easily make their way into our homes. But once entered, it becomes extremely difficult to get rid of them. Hence, it is highly recommended to keep an eye on rat infestation at all times. Rodent infestation is not visible unless you notice the signs. So what exactly are the signs of the rat infestation that you must never ignore:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Signs of rat infestation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rat droppings<\/li>\n<li>Grinding and scratching noises<\/li>\n<li>Foot and tail marks<\/li>\n<li>Grease and dirt marks<\/li>\n<li>Rat nests<\/li>\n<li>Burrows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, let us understand what can we do to deter rats from entering our drains.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Tips to deter rats from entering the drains<\/b><\/h2><\/h1><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-0 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system.jpg 360w\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" alt=\"How to deter rats\" title=\"Check your drains properly-Tip _1 How to deter rats from entering the drainage system\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2322 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 360px\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" alt=\"How to deter rats\" title=\"Check your drains properly-Tip _1 How to deter rats from entering the drainage system\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ratblockers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Check-your-drains-properly-Tip-_1-How-to-deter-rats-from-entering-the-drainage-system.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 360px\"><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-1 fusion_builder_column_inner_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3><strong>Check your drains properly-Tip #1 How to deter rats from entering the drainage system?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect your entire drainage system and never ignore even the smaller issues such as blockages or slow draining etc. These small problems can grow into bigger problems later.
