You may be surprised to deal with an invasion of rats at this time of the year, as people often associate this problem with the cooler months of the year. There’s a good reason for that because, due to the cold weather and scarcity of food, rats used to take shelter in your home to survive.

Even If you have a small hole cracks or crevices, they can get in your house. You can take a walk outside your home and look for spots where these rats could invade easily and fix all the entry points immediately.
Cut Down The Food Sources
Rats always look for the leftovers that are on your counter tops and on your open trash can. They’ll even chew through the groceries and eat up all the nuts. So, ensure to keep all of your food is heavy, tight containers. Always keep the trash can closed and should not leave the pet food out overnight.
