There are some root rats in my attic and I wonder how to get rid of the rats.What is the best way to deal with those rats?Can I manage it by myself or should I hire a professional or rodent control guy to do this job?I heard the rat traps from Home Depot or Walmart may work.What are the tips to set up those traps correctly so that they will work efficiently?If use traps, how many should I put in the attic? need to put in the whole attic? or just a few spots?what is the best bait to use in the traps?Eventually how can I know if all the rats have been killed or left my attic?How long should I wait before I seal any potential openings?Looking forward to any suggestions and advises.Thanks.
Foil would be cheaper.however I could see a screen giving you more air flow.
Foil is easier, gets less gunk build up then the screen and is cheaper to replace more often.
When I was in high school, there was a rumor (probably just a myth) that using foil for a screen in a pipe helped contribute to alzheimersDon't know if it's true, but I thought I'd warn ya.
I have had great experiences with using aluminum foil
