Rat Infestation

No one likes to see pests drifting and crawling all over their houses. Just the thought of it already sends chills down the spine. Eew. imagine seeing them while you watch your favourite romantic flick or as you enjoy your day off from work. There are plenty of house pests that can linger in your homes or workplace premises if a location is unsanitary and dirty. You may do the job of inviting the number one pest there’s… rats!

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.

Rodent control is important to protect us from damages and in addition to health risks. Around the planet, rodents are known to disperse more than 35 illnesses that can affect individuals and pets, this includes plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia. The presence of rodents in foundations represents a genuine danger to human wellbeing. The health risk alone is a valid reason for concern and for the implementation of sound control procedures.

Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to gain access into your home 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, especially since those areas are visited by children and pets.

Acting upon the first sign of a suspected problem can help to drastically reduce the length of time needed to effectively control an infestation. Rats can breed quickly and have the potential to develop into a critical problem if left unmanaged.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

Rats are adaptable creatures and they can live anywhere in your home or at any building. You have probably heard people that there are rats in the attic, cellar, in between the walls or in old furniture. Since technically they are nocturnal creatures, rats are heard squeaking and running around. But during the day, they hide out of sight to prevent human contact.

Watch out for the following signs below, as you may have the rats in your area:

Rodent droppings – normally found in concentrated areas as rats create around 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered spindle shape and they can look the same as the great 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 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 adept climbers. You may hear they scurry under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified by a grinding noise they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in dusty, 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 following day.

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

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

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – rats build nests in warm, hidden areas using shredded material such as newspaper and fabrics. Nests will frequently contain young rats and are often located close to a food source. Check behind and beneath appliances, such as fridges and freezers in or near 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 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.
