No one wants to come home and be welcomed by a pack of Joliet rats. In order to prevent these little creatures from taking over your home, you need to know why the rats find our house too attractive. Sometimes, if the rats have not yet established their nest in our house, scaring them can encourage them to leave. Let us list some of the most convenient scare tactics that you can use against Illinois rats.



How to Scare Away the Rats
Rats are curious and very wary creatures. They will be hunting at night when their predators are out of sight. They will be moving on the dark areas of the house. This will make it challenging for us to determine an active infestation. Once you hear the strange noises at night, try the methods we will mention below.

Adopting Cats or Dogs
You may want to adopt a pet that will chase these rodents away. There are breeds of cats and dogs that will have the energy to chase these animals away. Encourage your pets to roam around your property. You should also take care of your pets. If the Joliet rats have been cornered, they might retaliate, and your pets will not come out unscathed.

Using Cat Litter
If you have a cat in your house, you must have a cat litter box. Do not just carelessly throw away your cat litter. In fact, this may be an effective repellent against the rat. Start by looking for the entry points and the nesting area of the rats. Disperse the content of your cat litter box generously on the affected site. The droppings and urine of the rats will release chemical cues that will warn the rats about the presence of a predator. This will make your place an uncomfortable place for them.

Repellents
There are different repellents sold in the market these days but not all of them will be effective against rats. You must be critical when looking for your chosen repellent. Some people believe that peppermint oil will be effective against rats. However, others claimed that it will do nothing more than making your house smell fragrant. Some rats are living in the sewers. Once you think about this, you will know that the scent of the peppermint will not affect them. Another reason why it will not be effective is the fact that it can vaporize easily. You will have to reapply it multiple times if you want to notice a slight improvement in your situation.

In case you are dealing with a full-blown rat infestation, simple scare tactics may not be effective. You must ask the help of a specialist to handle your situation. They will be inspecting the different corners of your house. They can also devise a plan that will target all factors related to infestation starting from the removal of the animals up to the remediation of the damages. They will help you ensure that your property will remain protected against the massive threats of these rodents.
