The roof of a home is one of the most neglected areas of the structure.
Rats going into tile roof.
Many of the areas are difficult to work on.
Roof rats are superb agile climbers and prefer to both travel and forage for food above ground.
Tile roofs barrel tile roofs in particular pose a special problem when it comes to wildlife.
The gaps in the tile create spaces that rodents and other critters rats mice squirrels bats raccoons opossums and more can use to enter the house and get into the attic walls and ceiling.
Roofs are out of immediate eyesight and any damage may go unnoticed for years.

Even though rats can enter a home at ground level there are a few species that are adept climbers and will use trees or poles to gain access to a rooftop.
