Rat Infestation

Just the notion of rats will surely send shivers down the spine due to the threat they bring not only in our homes and businesses but as well to our wellbeing.

Rats are known to spread diseases, injury property and contaminate food and animal feed. In the event that they enter your home, they can even present other unwelcome parasites like insects, lice and ticks.

That’s why, rat control is important for households and companies to prevent risk for property damages and as well to animal and human health. As we all know, every year, the death toll increases as many men and women are killed by acquiring diseases coming from rat infestation. These creepy creatures are known to disperse over 35 diseases including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia.

That is why rat control is very crucial and there is almost a dozen of deaths that are directly linked to rats transmitting diseases. Their existence poses huge threat not only for damage to properties but as well to people and animal health.

If you suspect rat infestation, be sure to act upon it the soonest possible. Rats can breed quickly and the more they stay longer in the area, the bigger is the risk for property damage and diseases.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal animals, rats are most lively at dusk and dawn and typically hide out of sight from people and other animals for the duration of the day. It is simply less difficult to spot indications of a problem, instead of the actual pest.

Watch out for the corresponding signs below, as you might have rats in your location:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated areas. Rats defecate around 40 droppings at night, their droppings are usually dark brown in color and almost look like grains of rice

Scratching noises – think you might have rats on your roof? Black rats (also known as the roof rat) are agile climbers and can easily gain access into loft spaces and upper floors of buildings. The hearing scratching noises at night from above may indicate their presence. Brown rats on the other hand, are less adept climbers. You may hear they scurry beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified by a grinding sound they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints – rats can leave foot and tail marks when they scour around. You can easily find these trails if you lightly dust on some flour on areas where you suspect they crawl. Eventually, you may see footprints and trails they’ve left.

Rub Marks – rats use established paths along skirting boards and walls because of their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt in their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may remain for a long period of time, they’re not a superior gauge of an active infestation.

Damage – due to their long incisor, rats constantly gnaw on things mostly plastic and wood materials in order to trim their teeth.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – rats build nests in warm, hidden areas using shredded material like newspaper and fabrics. Nests will often contain young rats and are usually situated close to a food source. Check behind and under appliances, such as fridges and freezers in or near your kitchen.

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and unearthing broad tunnel frameworks for shelter, food stockpiling and settling. Search for tunnels in fertilizer piles, under decking or gardens, or in carports.

Once you are sure that your property has been invaded by these rodents, it is a good idea to seek out the help of qualified rodent control professionals.
