As their name suggests, pack rats will collect just about anything they find if they feel that it would make a suitable addition to their nest. However, the problems arise when pack rat nests happen to be inside one of the walls of your house. This is where having a pack rat removal expert or control specialist come into the house becomes a necessity.

The desert pack rat, otherwise known as the desert wood rat, is a common household pest in the southwest region of the United States with a knack for collecting. Random pieces of garbage, shiny objects, paper, food, and even dog poop may be added to a nest that could stand up to 5 feet tall. When they find something they want, pack rats will sometimes even drop what they are carrying in exchange for the new item, making a trade of sorts. While quirky, pack rats can cause extensive damage to your property, sometimes making them a costly nuisance. Aside from chewing through electrical wiring, the desert wood rat can also destroy landscaping, ruin stores of food, nest in A/C units and parked vehicles, and some even carry diseases.
