Rat Infestation

Just the thought of rats will certainly send shivers down the spine due to the threat they bring not just in our homes and businesses but also to our health.

Rats are well known to spread diseases, damage land and contaminate food and animal feed. If they can gain entry into your home or business area, they can present other unwelcome parasites such as fleas, lice and ticks.

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

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 present tremendous risk, particularly since those areas are seen by children and pets.

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 larger 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 issue, rather than the actual pest.

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

Rodent droppings – normally found in concentrated areas as rats produce around 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are darkish brown in a tapered spindle shape and they can look the same as the great grain of rice

Scratching noises – think you could 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 skillful climbers. You may hear they scurry under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified with 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 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 will find these tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – rats use established paths along skirting boards and walls due to their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt on 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 stay for a long time period, they are not a good gauge of an active infestation.

Damage – rats have teeth that develop continuously. They need to gnaw on wood and plastic to keep them trim.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nest – rats build homes in warm, shrouded places using destroyed material, like, paper and fabrics. The nest will regularly contain young rats and are normally found close to a food source. Check behind and beneath machines, for Instance, coolers and fridges in or close to your kitchen.

Burrows – brown rats are well known for digging and excavating extensive burrow systems for shelter, food storage and nesting. Search for burrows in compost heaps, under decking or garden sheds, or in garages.

If you’ve spotted indications of rat infestations, the time has come to acquire proficient treatment. Our certified pest control professionals are supported by international knowledge and advancement that could help you completely eradicate these pests.
