Rat Infestation

The notion of rat Infestation makes everyone of us cringe. Usually, rats do not have a reputation as adorable and cuddly pets as the fact that they are harbingers of diseases. Their existence makes us puke in disgust and can be unsettling.

Rats are well known to spread diseases, damage property 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 such as fleas, lice and ticks.

Rat control is vital to keep us from various illnesses and germs. There are about a dozen of pervasive illnesses directly connected to rats. Around the globe, rats are known to spread more than 35 illnesses that may infect both pets and individuals, including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia. The nearness of rats in establishments represent a genuine risk to human well-being. The disease threat alone is a justifiable cause for concern and for the implementation of sound control procedures.

Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to get access into your home or business premises they can spread these diseases, causing appreciable 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.

If you suspect rat infestation, then 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 people during the day. It is often easier to spot signs of a problem, as opposed to the actual pest.

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

Rat droppings – normally found in concentrated areas as rats produce 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 likely to be identified with a grinding noise they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot mails in temperate, less-utilised zones. To know if an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or powder along the tiny stretch of floor or to areas where you believe they’re crawling and then check for new tracks the following 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 is not 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 items and furniture and is one of the sure signs they are present in the area.

Rats Nests & Burrows

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

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

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