Rat Infestation

The thought of rat Infestation makes us cringe. Usually, rats do not have a reputation as cuddly and cute pets as the fact that they’re harbingers of diseases. Their presence makes us puke in disgust and may be unsettling.

Rats are undesirable guests for they carry a whole lot of microorganisms that may cause diseases to people and animals. Once they enter our home or the building, they can settle and colonise the area fast. The faster they breed in the region, the bigger the problem will be that households and companies will deal with.

Rat control is important to avoid a number of serious diseases, which rats are known to transmit in a variety of means. There are nearly a dozen prevalent diseases directly linked to rats. Around the world, rats are known to spread 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 procedures.

Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to get access into your house 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.

Spotting an infestation as early as possible can resolve the issue and be able to effectively control an infestation. Rats can breed rapidly and can possibly form into a major issue whenever left unmanaged.

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, rather than the actual pest.

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

Rodent droppings – usually found in concentrated areas as rats create up to 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered spindle shape and they can look the same as the enormous grain of rice

Scratching noises – Rats often move around in the dark and out of reach areas like the attic, roof and in small cracks and holes in the home. They are agile climbers and can easily enter into attic 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 – rats can leave foot and tail marks when they scour around. You can easily find these paths if you lightly dust on some flour on areas where you suspect they crawl. Eventually, you may see footprints and trails they’ve left.

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 oil and dirt that stuck on their bodies. When they crawl, they leave smears and dull blemishes on items and surfaces that they run over and brush against. Seeing these imprints may indicate their presence.

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

Burrows – sometimes, rats lived outdoors plus they create burrows for shelter, food storage and nesting. They dig out mostly if you’ve got a garden and make extensive burrow system.

When you are sure that your property has been invaded by these rodents, it’s good to seek out the help of qualified rodent control professionals.
