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.

To make sure that you have a rat infestation, start looking for these signs below:

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 – think you might have rats on your roof? Black rats (also known as the roof rat) are agile climbers and can easily get 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 beneath 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 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 will find these tracks the next day.

Smear marks – because rats can go in and from any areas in the home or building, they often leave rub marks or smear marks which are made from grease and their fur. You can find these smudges left on walls or furniture that comes with unpleasant odor.

Gnaw marks – rats keep on gnawing on things made of plastics and wood 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 that 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 so to protect themselves from humans and animals, as well.

Burrows – rats love to hide in hidden places and they occasionally use shredded materials like paper and fabric to build their nests.
