Rat Infestation

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

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

Rat control is important to avoid a number of serious diseases, which rats are known to transmit in an assortment of means. There are nearly a dozen prevalent diseases directly linked to rats. Around the world, rats are known to disperse over 35 diseases that can infect both people and pets, 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 if they manage to get access into your home or business premises they could spread these diseases, causing appreciable damage and contamination of food. Even rats in the garden and outside can also present tremendous risk, particularly since those areas are visited by children and pets.

Monitoring the main indication of a speculated issue can help definitely reduce the period of time expected to viably control an infestation. Rats can breed rapidly and can possibly form into a significant issue whenever 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, rather than the actual pest.

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

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

Scratching noises – Rats often move around in the dark and out of reach areas such as the loft, roof and in small cracks and holes in the house. They are agile climbers and can easily enter into loft spaces and upper floors of the buildings. When they move, they produce scratching noises. Sometimes, you may also hear grinding noises this is because they gnaw on wood or plastics.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks from dusty, less-used areas of buildings. Shining a strong flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks clearly. To establish when an infestation is active, scatter fine bread or talc along a little stretch of floor near the footprints and check for new tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – rats leave these marks on dividers and sheets where they go in and out of the premises. This is because of the poor vision. The marks are made up of dirt and oil that stuck on their bodies. When they crawl, they leave smears and dull blemishes on things and surfaces they run over and brush against. Seeing these imprints may indicate their presence.

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

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 this to protect themselves from humans and animals, as well.

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

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