As the city combats an ongoing rat problem throughout many neighborhoods, some residents who are fed up with the infestation are trying to get dog owners to clean up after their pets.

Dog Poop Attracts Rats

Shelters for rats and in mice in backyards may eventually give access for pests to get inside your home.

Junk piled in yards like old tires, firewood, sheds with openings underneath and even dog houses are like rat condos and rats love to live in and under all of these. Anything that can hold water like old buckets or basins are a great source of water.

Dog poop is toxic to the environment

Pet waste that is left on the ground does not just disappear. Dog waste will slowly “fade away” over time by becoming part of the soil or washing into the waterways when it rains. But don’t assume it’s totally gone. As the waste disintegrates, it breaks apart into small particles. Those particles of dog poop wash into our creeks and streams.  Ultimately into our rivers when it rains. Dog waste is very nutrient-rich. Unfortunately, these particular “nutrient-rich deposits” cause rapid algae growth. Abundant algae blooms block sunlight and deplete oxygen in the water. Which kills off aquatic organisms, especially fish. Even for those who are not concerned about the environment, there is one more reason to keep pet waste off the ground and out of our waterways – our own personal health. The bacteria in dog feces wash into our creeks, streams and rivers can cause serious illness in humans, including cholera and dysentery.

How to get rid of rats

Rats are more likely to be attracted by the odors from pet waste, outdoor pet food bowls, inadequate waste and garbage containers, compost bins, BBQ grills, vegetable garden waste or un-harvested fruits and nuts from trees.

To eliminate rats, deny them access to shelter. It is important to remove potential hiding and nesting sites from around your home. Such as firewood stacks, brush and debris piles, dense shrubbery, ground covers and ivy. Repair and/or seal openings in buildings using durable materials, such as concrete, metal flashing, steel wool or heavy welded wire.

In dry climates, rats are attracted to sources of water. Remove or repair all sources of free water around your home and yard. These include leaking faucets and irrigation lines, water bowls for pets and all sources of standing water.

Good sanitation practices will effectively control the ability of rats to survive. Eliminating access to garbage, pet waste, spilled bird seed, open compost bins and un-harvested fruits and vegetables is crucial to rodent control.

Rats are especially attracted by the odor from BBQ grills and they will eat the residue meat scraps and fats found on them. If possible, between uses store your grill in a secure outdoors building and keep it clean of all grease and food debris.
