Around the world, rats are known to spread over 35 diseases that can infect both people and pets, including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia.

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

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal creatures, rats are most active between dusk and dawn and usually hide from humans during the day. It is often easier to spot signs of a problem, rather than the actual pest.

Watch out for the accompanying signs below, as you may have rats in your place:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated areas. Rats defecate up to 40 droppings at night, their droppings are usually dark brown in colour 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 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 adept climbers. You may hear they scurry beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified with a grinding sound they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks in temperate, less-used regions of homes. 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 believe they crawl and you may find these tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – these are mostly greasy 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.

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

Rats Nests & Burrows

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

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and exhuming broad tunnel frameworks for nests, food storage and settling. Look for tunnels in manure piles, under decking garages, or in carports.

If you’ve spotted signs of rat infestations, it’s time to get professional treatment. Our qualified local service technicians are backed by global knowledge and innovation that can help you eliminate these naughty pests for good.
