Tarrytown pairs established West Austin homes with large, shaded lots, mature live oaks and pecans, and proximity to Lake Austin and the greenbelts. It is beautiful, and it is roof rat country. The heavy tree cover puts branches over rooflines, the water and green corridors give rats cover to travel, and larger homes offer attics, decks, and detached garages to nest in.
Roof rat help in Tarrytown starts with an inspection that reads the home and the trees and water around it, then a plan to clear the rats and seal the way in.
Mature trees and lakeside lots
Tarrytown's setting is what draws roof rats. Live oaks and pecans form a canopy that reaches the roof, giving rats a direct route onto the house. Larger footprints add multiple rooflines, decks, support posts, and detached garages that create access at different points, and the Lake Austin corridor and greenbelts feed a steady supply. A plan built for Tarrytown works the roofline and the outbuildings, not just the main house.
Cutting the routes and sealing the home
Lasting control here means cutting the climbing routes and sealing the home. Branches get trimmed back off the roofline, the roof edge, eaves, and vents get sealed against roof rats, and the garage and any low gaps get closed. Trapping clears what is inside; the sealing keeps the tree-lined traffic out.
