Who doesn’t love fall with brightly colored leaves, fuzzy scarves, hot apple cider, and football! But rain and cold weather also send rats and mice scurrying in search of a warm place to spend the winter. Here are a few must-have rodent prevention tips to keep rodents out of your home this winter.
Rodent Prevention Tips
We’re not certain weather is the only factor, but this year we’re already getting an unprecedented number of calls for rodent attacks on homes across Oregon. The average rodent removal service now costs nearly $700. In this case a few cents of prevention can save dollars of cure!
Here are three must have Pro Tips to prevent rodent intrusion at your home this winter:
Watch out for pet food! This includes food for dogs, cats, chickens or any other pets where food is left outside overnight. We suggest bringing in all food at night to deter rodents.
Trim back plants. Dense foliage touching roofs, siding or the foundation provides travel paths where rodents can seek entry without exposure to predators.
Seal gaps. Using durable materials like caulk and 1/4″ hardware cloth (not expanding foam in a can) screen and seal gaps around the foundation, siding and even on the roof where rodents can gain access. (Click Here To Learn More now)
While these rodent prevention tips can help you get started, we’ve found that not every home can be completely sealed up to prevent rodents. And, sometimes all the construction required for rodent proofing a home just simply costs too much.
We Put Our Heads Together To Come Up With A Solution
Whenever we hit a big problem, the entire Bug Zapper Team puts their heads together to come up with a solution. Well, this time we knew we’d really hit on something BIG when someone suggested a simple rodent protection plan. Pest Control companies have never done this before. We tried it out, revised a few things and now it’s so good we can warranty it 100%.
How Does The New Rodent Protection Coverage Work?
All you have to do is call or text us at 541-636-0146 to add our 100% Warrantied Rodent Protection to your existing Silver or Gold Pest Service. We’ll visit your home to provide a detailed rodent inspection and install 10 or more rodent prevention stations. Each station can knock out 20 rats each so times 10 that’s a big enough arsenal to take out a small army of rats and mice!
What Happens If I Get A Rodent After I Add Rodent Protection To My Current Plan?
Well, our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen, but just so you know, if a rodent were to make it by our prevention system, we’ll come catch little Houdini for FREE. That alone could save you hundreds of dollars and a big headache.
You Might Not Be Able To Get Our Rodent Protection Plan…
Making sure our protection system stays in top shape requires extra time and attention for our team. That’s why we really can’t offer this for all the homes we work at in the winter months. At least for this year, we’re having to limit the number of homes where we can provide full rodent protection. Basically we’re doing first come first serve for the first few homes that want to add Rodent Protection Coverage to one of our Insect Protection Plans. Also, existing rodent issues do not qualify for this plan (we have other ways of helping with those).

If you live in Oregon and haven’t either had rats in your home or heard about a close neighbor with rats, consider yourself lucky. In the winter months particularly, the number of rodent calls we receive skyrockets. Due to rat populations expanding, new neighborhoods become hotbeds for rodent activity fairly quickly. Rodents don’t need to overrun a neighborhood in order to spread into the next; the naturally transient nature of rats, for instance, cause them to spread constantly, and they can travel heavily when inclement weather or various needs compel them. Realize, however that even lottery winners don’t stay lucky forever, and it’s just a matter of time until rats find your home. Not if… but when they do, are you prepared? We’d like to help you get prepared, and have some easy rat control steps that you can implement. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 541-636-0146 for additional information. We are here to help! Now, on with the steps.
Rat Control Steps
Used by our professionals to exterminate rats before they begin their mayhem, these steps can help keep your home from experiencing the problems rats inevitably bring with them. Rats are fond of chewing electrical wires, damaging water pipes, tainting food and water supplies, causing anxiety in your pets, making holes in heating ducts, and more.
Rat Extermination Inspection
Rats have somewhat poor vision, and their exploration of areas is dominated by their incredible sense of smell. They are also extremely talented with mapping areas, and will often create well-traveled paths and routes to the resources they require, memorizing them and even teaching them to other rats. This is why homeowners might set the right trap, with the right bait, and yet still can’t seem to catch a rat. It is not due to rodent cleverness or luck, but more based on a mis-read of the current active lines and a lack of information about rodent behavior, and how it changes depending on their location and needs. When trap placement is even 5 feet away from the most currently active rodent travel path, and when it has been placed in an area not generally traveled by the rats when they are specifically hungry, the trap often becomes completely useless. If the rat is fed by the time it comes near that trap, it won’t investigate.
This one did.
Look for several key elements that indicate rat presence. Droppings are a big sign, but especially where you find them and how fresh they are. Rats relieve themselves as they travel and eat, and if you find an area with an inordinate amount of droppings, that could be a feeding or nesting area. Lines of travel with intersect this area, and become good spots for trap placement, especially along right-angles, like walls, joists, beams, and piping. Look also for dust-prints. These can help identify which direction the rats are using that line to travel, which gives you a better idea about their foraging behavior and when they’re hungry. Traps placed on a line rats travel BEFORE feeding are far more successful than traps placed on a coming-home-after-eating line. Grease stains, or smudge marks, are a good indication of rat activity, also. When rats climb into a hole, or travel vertically, they often leave behind a smudge that looks somewhat like old grease. It will be a fairly faint but still discernible stain (when you’re looking for them), as rats have oily fur and leave traces of this material behind when they rub against things. The darker and more visible the stain, the more well-traveled that line generally is (or was, before they switched routes).
Multiple paths = multiple rats. Pictured: Your money’s worth.
By conducting a careful inspection to locate fresh rat droppings, smudge marks, print directions and path intersections, as well as chewing damage, ideal trap placement can be established. Keep in mind that rats often move in shadows and darker locations and will often abandon a path in favor of another, leaving little evidence this has happened. Our experts sometimes turn off the lights in a room to see where shadows provide ideal cover for rodent movement. We also offer a detailed inspection completed by our pro rodent certified expert to locate exactly where rat travel paths can be effectively intercepted.
Choose The Right Rat Trap
One of the most common mistakes made by homeowners is setting the wrong types of traps to catch rats. Forget sticky glue board traps, electronic sound devices, small wooden mouse traps, and nearly every other kind of rat control device sold in hardware stores. The fact is that most of them just simply don’t work and can cause serious harm to pets and children. If you do place traps, be prepared to check on them often to empty out any dead rodents that may have been caught, and also to reset those traps for continued use. Diligence here, combined with good traps and proper placement, is key.
Our pros catch rats using professional plastic and wooden traps with expanded trigger plates sensitive enough to even catch a mouse. These types of commercial grade rat traps are generally not available in local box stores but can be purchased directly from Bug Zapper Pest Control by calling 541-636-0146.
More Traps = Better
We have several types, each for a different setup and situation.
Another common mistake made by homeowners that leads to unsuccessful rat trapping efforts is setting too few traps. Generally at least a dozen traps minimum should be set inside a home. Depending on the infestation level and the rat travel patterns found during in the inspection, another 1-2 dozen traps might be placed in the crawl space and a dozen traps or more set in the attic. Heavy trap usage helps ensure that traps with attractive bait intercept movement patterns of all rats within a home. This portion of trapping is a numbers game, but proper placement is still necessary, with the correct bait for the situation.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what sorts of pests you’re likely to encounter at a given time of year, look no further. Seasonal pest expectancy in Oregon is a fairly easy thing to look up, but few places seem to have a handy source in which you can get all the info you want in one place.
That’s where our Pest Expectancy Chart comes in! This seasonal pest chart for Oregon is designed to accurately indicate when you can expect various pests to be a problem here in the Pacific Northwest. Faded portions denote minor activity, solid portions indicate strong activity and prevalence, and in the case of rodents, the winter months are darkened to show heavy home invasion behavior. Take a look and you’ll know what to expect in the months to come!

Pest Expectancy: The Major Offenders
Ants:
Most ants in the Pacific Northwest function year-round, but definitely have a strong drop off during the Winter months. They can survive the cold months in a warm home like yours, but the majority of us don’t see them again until Spring. Click here to learn more about controlling ants.
Cockroaches:
These have no season and can dominate and spread in a region all year round. They are mostly indoor pests, though can be found near dumpsters and other near-food source areas. The cold Winter months push them indoors, where they can survive until warmer weather, though they seldom spend much time outdoors.
Learn more about cockroach seasons and activity
Wasps:
Wasps are a real menace, and though they do help to maintain a variety of other insect populations, they’re not so handy when they’re stinging your kids near the barbecue or pain-swarming you while you’re trying to mow the lawn or check the mail. Always a terrible surprise. They do have a main seasonal run, which begins in early Spring (minor activity) and builds incredibly through to mid-Fall (heavy activity). Their nests grow rapidly and their numbers grow exponentially. Like bees, they mostly die out / disappear in the Winter and start over again in the Spring. Wasps in our region face a huge dropoff in sightings by October, with the heaviest months of activity being in the Summer months, and into Fall. There are many types of wasps in Oregon, and June to July is typically considered high season for wasp activity.
Spiders:
Like ants, spiders tend to back off in the winter months, but there are some species who can handle the colder weather, and as always, those living in your home will do quite well, regardless of how cold it is outside. Winter is tough on spiders because while they can survive it indoors, many of the insects they catch and eat do not survive in the Winter, so it’s a sparse time to be a spider. Click here for more information we’ve compiled about local spiders.
Rodents:
Rats and mice thrive in Winter. The cold months push them indoors, however. As a result, Winter is when we see the most rodent home invasions. They can breed year round and proliferate in the Spring and Summer, though Winter is when you’re most likely to encounter them in your attic, garage, or even your kitchen. Pest Expectancy: Always, but far more personal and up-close in the Winter. Learn more about rodents, especially rats and mice, chock full of information here.
Carpenter Ants:
Carpenter ants typically don’t survive as well as sugar ants during the Winter months, but definitely proliferate in the Spring and Summer. They can expand quickly and form long, enormous lines of travel from tree to tree, or into your home. There is a wealth of great information on carpenter ants in the Pacific Northwest. Click here to learn more about identifying and preventing carpenter ant damage.
Gophers:
These rodents can be a real problem in the Spring and Summer, but are active in the Fall and, though activity is sparse, still operate here and there in the Winter. As larder hoarders, they store up food to help them survive the freeze, but they’ll still make gopher mounds in your yard if they feel up to some exercise. We’ve got a great article (with video) on gopher behavior and traits here.
Moles:
Like gophers, moles slow down in the Winter, but have no difficulty surviving it and will still make occasional mounds in yards. They’re insectivores and tend to tunnel closer to the surface than gophers. We’ve even seen them pushing up mounds in the snow! Pest expectancy: Anytime, but more prevalent in the warmer months. Check out our informative research on moles and some control methods here.
Usually brought in on pets, fleas are an annoyance and can spread quite quickly. Flea bites itch and are usually quite visible to others, letting people know about your embarrassing problem at home. They have some of the strongest and most durable eggs around, and those eggs can survive a number of conditions that adults or other insects cannot. They operate year-round, but adults don’t handle cold well at all. Luckily for them, your house isn’t cold. Moreover, your pets (and you) are quite warm and tasty to them. Find out more about handling fleas here.
Ticks:
These little monsters are somewhat like a cross between a bedbug and a spider. We know, that’s a nightmare. Ticks are arachnids, like spiders, but are more closely related to mites. They drill their head into your skin and drink up your blood. This is a Saturday night out for them. They then use your blood to mate. Fun stuff. Lucky for us, ticks have two distinctive swarms/cycles per year, and are largely dormant at other times. They have a Spring rush, and another in the Fall, though both are fairly brief. To learn more about ticks (and to give yourself the shivers), try the always-informative CDC database.
Flies:
Nuisances extraordinaire. Flies are perhaps one of the most common pests we encounter and are one of the most agitating. Buzzing around your head. Landing on your plate. Walking across the television while you’re trying to watch a season finale. Touching down on your arm and then taking flight before you can react. Crawling on your baby’s face. It’s almost as if flies are purposely trying to make us despise them. Check out some great information on types of Pacific Northwest flies here.

Let’s talk about rats in Oregon. Rats in the Pacific Northwest can spread incurable diseases, pilfer our food, and invade our homes, all while doing all of this covertly. They are extremely suited to living off of us, and their success with this is at least as old as written record.
While pet rats can be a joy, undomesticated rats are a danger and can populate an area, like your home, in very little time. Worse, they can spread to and from the homes around you quickly, becoming a big problem for your entire neighborhood.
It is our hope that in providing some information on these pests, we can help you understand how they take advantage of you, which sort of pest you’re dealing with, and what to do about it.
“Carl? Which- which one of us is Carl? Wait, am I Carl?”
A Little Background on Rodents
While a great many pests call the Pacific Northwest their home, most are seasonal and are not active outside of their usual breeding and nesting season. Rodents are not like these and are active year-round.
While they do tend to proliferate in the spring and summer, we are most likely to encounter them in the fall and winter, when the change in weather forces them to seek out shelter and infiltrate our homes. Various rodents have somewhat different dietary needs and look for specific sorts of food, but most are opportunists and will take what they can get.
Rodents, as we know them, have been in the fossil record for about 54 million years, and are now distant cousins to rabbits. The best-known rodent group is the Murids, which have given rise to almost all of our modern pest species, including rats, mice, voles, and even hamsters.
It can be said that rats have benefitted from human civilization even more than dogs and cats. In this series, we’ll be focusing on rodents common to our region, and in this article, we’ll start with the most notorious of them, the rats.
Identifying the Northwest Rats
Rats have a long history of taking advantage of human advancement and have been pests to us for a very long time. The common method of rats following human trade routes and living off human civilizations is called commensalism and is at least several thousand years old. Both Norway rats and Black Rats are commensal and commonly survive by depending on human activity.
In this blog, we’ll go over the Pacific Northwest rats you’re most likely to encounter here, in Oregon.
Norway Rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
Originally from the areas that are now Mongolia and northern China, Norway rats have been a major, invasive pest, and have now made their home all over the world, wherever they’ve managed to stow away with humans. Norway rats go by a variety of names, and you may know them by any of the following names:
Wharf Rat
Norwegian Rat
Brown Rat
Street Rat
Common Rat
Sewer Rat
“Your human tongues are neat. This is sarcasm.”
Distinct Features
A Norway rat is typically gray or brown, with a pale underbelly, sporting a rounded snout, coupled with petite ears that sit closely together. Its tail, distinctively thicker at its base, has a scaly texture, and is somewhat bare.
This tail is typically shorter than the rat’s body and exhibits shades of pink or tan. Furthermore, the Norway rat often displays a robust, coarse fur coat, setting it apart from other rodent species.
Diet and Hydration
This gray or brown rat will eat just about anything edible, but like us, prefers a balanced diet. Norway rats will eat various grains, meat, fruits, nuts, and snails.
They have a rather large need for water, needing around an ounce of water each day. If they can find moist foods, this water need can lessen. The perfect place to find much of what they need, while balancing their nutrition needs, is in human garbage, hence why they do so well in our shadow and will likely follow it forever.
We inadvertently create a great rat hotel and amazing rat buffet wherever we go. It’s the perfect setup for them.
“I’ve seen you mating. D-“
Habits and Behavior
Norway rats are primarily nocturnal, but they do venture out during the day, especially if they’re traveling in a dark place, like the walls, crawlspaces, or attic of your home. These Northwest rats tend to travel daily, from their food source, within an area between 100 and 150 feet in diameter.
That’s usually well within the confines of your home, and they don’t travel far from their food. These gray or brown rats are colorblind and have poor vision, relying heavily on their keen sense of smell and extremely accurate sense of taste.
They can reportedly detect changes in taste at .5 parts per million, which is incredible. In comparison, human beings can only detect 10 parts per million, which means we don’t even place in the Taste Olympics as far as rats are concerned.
Life and Reproduction
After conception, Norway rats give birth in a little over three weeks and can conceive again the very next day, if they’re so inclined. They have 6-12 young at a time. That’s fast and worse, the offspring themselves can already reproduce three months later. Now you’re starting to see how these little brown rats can dominate an area pretty quickly and easily.
Black Rats (Rattus Rattus)
Admittedly, there’s only a slim chance you’ll ever encounter a black rat in Oregon, but they do exist. The black rat has been found in Portland, Salem, and smaller coastal cities where there is human habitation. They go by various names:
House Rat
English Rat
Ship Rat
Roof Rat
Like Norway rats, black rats have now spanned the globe. Though they made their way into Europe long before Norway rats, they have been displaced as the dominant rat in those regions by the Norway rat, which has proven very successful at invading new regions and taking over.
The black rat or rattus rattus (real creative, scientists) also reached North America a couple of hundred years earlier than Norway rats, but again, have been displaced by the latter. They survive especially well in tropical regions, but in North America, now have only small numbers.
“We could have been friends, America.”
Distinct Characteristics
Black rats have longer tails than Norway rats and are not simply black. Some can be light brown, and even reddish. They are typically smaller on average than Norway rats. Their sense of hearing is highly refined and sensitive, and they are easily alerted to the sounds of humans.
Diet and Hydration
Like Norway rats, black rats will eat just about anything they find that is edible, but are far less concerned with bulk feeding. When possible, they will sample many foods present, and eat small amounts of each, rather than eating one thing until full.
They have a particular preference for fruits and nuts, and require about half as much water as Norway rats, at around half an ounce a day. They are also more likely to forage in groups.
“Yeah, sorry about that. We didn’t like the fleas, either.”
Habits and Behavior
Black rats are arboreal, which means that they favor trees and originally weren’t so suited to human homes. However, homes have roofs, and black rats like those heights (we call them roof rats for a reason). They’ve been known to travel over power lines to get into homes, though they will burrow underground if the conditions require it. As should be obvious, they are extremely good climbers.
The Bubonic Plague
These Northwest rats can also carry a variety of diseases, some of which are incurable in humans. Black rats are known to carry a number of pathogens, of which the bubonic plague, typhus, Weil’s disease, toxoplasmosis, and trichinosis are the best known. They can transmit disease by droppings and urine, bites, and the fleas and mites in their fur.
The most infamous of these diseases, the Black Plague or Black Death, was actually spread by Oriental rat fleas, which lived on the rats. The heavy rat population and poor sanitation practices in the Middle Ages exponentially increased the chances of contagion.
Black Death outbreaks occurred many times in European history, but the most notorious outbreak happened over an eight-year period in the 14th century and killed up to an estimated 200 million people.
Life and Reproduction
Black rats can mate year-round and typically average around eight young per litter, which is more than Norway rats, although Black rats tend to mate less frequently. Their young also take a bit longer to become reproductive than those of Norway rats, which gives the latter an edge in dominating an area.
Black rats proliferate in warmer climates but don’t handle cold very well, which is another reason Norway rats have often been able to run them out of town.
Packrats (many species, but particularly Neotoma Cinerea)
Also known as the bushy-tailed woodrat (for their squirrel-like tails), the packrat has many distinguishable traits and features, but the most well-known is their penchant for building complex nests out of things they find.
Distinct Characteristics
Packrats have large ears and somewhat long, flat tails. Males are much bigger than females, and they are excellent climbers and jumpers. Unlike Norway rats and black rats, packrats are perfectly at home in colder environments, and they live quite well even in Northernmost Canada. They are also found in hot climates, such as the desert region of Arizona, though prefer the upper mountain regions, which are typically colder.
Like other rats, they do not hibernate and will forage and eat year-round, though they do try to store up food reserves so they can remain in their nest during the colder months.
“I took your keys last night.”
Diet and Hydration
They are herbivores, but will occasionally eat insects and other kinds of meat, favoring leaves and stalks of plants. They will also eat fruits, fungus, and seeds. Of interest is that packrats do not need a source of open water, as their hydration needs are met through their solid food diets.
They have sharp claws and can chew through very dense material. It is not uncommon to find they have chewed straight through your wall to get into your kitchen. We’ve seen one chew a large hole through a dense city garbage can, tunnel through trash bags and the trash within, and then gnaw their way out the other side, all in a single night.
Habits and Behavior
Unlike other rats, which will generally build a small nest of typical materials like wood, paper, and general debris, packrats favor shiny objects and are highly curious. They take things from our homes and use them to build complex, large nests, which are sealed by a secretion the packrat makes called “amberat”.
This substance preserves the nests, and anything in them, for extremely long periods of time. Think centuries. Plant matter from hundreds of years ago can be preserved in packrat nests, which makes them both fascinating thieves and nature’s museum curators. Packrats even have favorite items that they somewhat bond with, objects they will protect and with which they will travel.
As these items are not crucial to their survival or needed much, packrats can be said to be materialists, really, and would almost seem to have a rudimentary sense of ownership. This bushy-tailed woodrat will even drop off needed foods in order to then pick up and steal off with something fascinating, like a belt buckle or a key.
Packrats are also fiercely territorial and very aggressive to other rodents, and when necessary, fight often, even with their own mates. Males abandon bred females when their litter is quite young, owing to their territorial nature.
“It’s not my fault you keep throwing away awesome things. That’s on you.”
Life and Reproduction
Packrats do not breed year-round, unlike Norway rats or black rats. They breed in the spring and summer and can conceive a mere 12 hours after giving birth. It is not uncommon for a female to be nursing her young while also pregnant with her next litter.
Despite this, they take about five weeks to give birth, which is substantially longer than the other rats. In addition, these northwest rats usually only have around three young per litter, and reproduce between 1-2 times a year. The young are not able to reproduce until about a year old.
Due to these factors, packrats are very slow to multiply and populate when compared to the other rats in this list. It is no surprise that we encounter enclaves of packrats far less often than other rat species. They are also solitary and do not like the presence of other Packrats.
