Rat control is important to avoid a number of serious diseases, which rats are known to transmit in an assortment of means. There are almost a dozen prevalent diseases directly connected to rats. Around the world, rats are known to disperse over 35 diseases that can infect both pets and people, including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia. The presence of rats in establishments pose a serious threat to human health. The disease threat alone is a justifiable cause for concern and for the implementation of sound control processes.

Rats can be very persistent and should they manage to get access into your house or business premises they could spread these diseases, causing considerable damage and contamination of food. Even rats in the garden and outside can also pose tremendous risk, especially since those areas are visited by children and pets.

Acting upon the first sign of a suspected problem can help drastically reduce the length of time required to effectively control an infestation. Rats can breed quickly and have the potential to develop into a critical issue if left unmanaged.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

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

Watch out for the accompanying signs mentioned below, to know if you have been infested with rodents:

Rat droppings – usually found in concentrated areas as rats create up to 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle-shape and they can resemble a Large grain 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 attic 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 skillful climbers. You may hear they scurry under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified by a grinding noise they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in dusty, less-used areas of houses. Shining a flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks vividly. To identify if an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or talc along a small stretch of floor or on areas where you think they crawl and you may find these tracks the next day.

Rub Marks – these are mainly oily oil and dirt left on regions that rats crawl along. These smudges sometimes have rat furs when rats proceed along the surfaces. When you see some, these can indicate their presence but isn’t a good indicator of an infestation, most of the time.

Gnaw marks – rats continue gnawing on things made from wood and plastics to keep their teeth trimmed. This is because rats’ teeth grow continuously. You can find these gnawing marks on things and furniture and is one of the sure signs that they are present in the area.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – rats can build their nests in any areas. Sometimes they also dig into the ground to make a burrow system. Either way, they do so to protect themselves from humans and animals, as well.

Burrows – rats like to hide in hidden places and they occasionally use shredded materials such as paper and fabric to build their nests. Check out your garden for a heap of dirt as this can indicate that rats have assembled their burrows. You may also check the areas like attic, basement, below the furniture or appliances.

If you have spotted signs of rat infestations, it is time to get professional treatment. Our qualified local service technicians are backed by international knowledge and innovation which can help you get rid of these naughty pests for good.
