According to BBC Wildlife Magazine – a magazine that specializes in stories about specific species, wildlife habitats, and conservation – rats could simply be making their way into your home because they either need food, shelter, or both. BBC Wildlife Magazine further advises that people keep their homes squeaky clean and “avoid having food waste on the floor or surfaces.”
