Rat Infestation

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

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

That’s why, rat control is important for households and companies to stop risk for property damages and as well to animal and human health. As we all know, every year, the death toll increases as many people are killed by acquiring diseases coming from rat infestation. These creepy creatures are known to spread over 35 diseases including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia.

Rats are persistently aggressive rodents that once they gain access into homes and building premises, they feed on food they find, build their nest, breed and spread diseases. With this, they are considerably causing damage to property and items and contamination of food, water and environment.

If you suspect rat infestation, be sure to act upon it the soonest possible. Rats can breed fast and the more they stay longer in the region, the larger is your risk for property damage and diseases.

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’s simply less difficult to spot indications of a problem, rather than the actual pest.

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

Rat droppings – normally found in concentrated zones as rats create up to 40 droppings for every evening. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle-shaped and they can take after a huge 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 get 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 skillful climbers. You may hear they scurry beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified with a grinding noise they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints – rats leave foot and tail marks which are sometimes tough to identify. If you can lightly dust on some flour to areas that you suspect they are nesting and crawling, for sure you will see their prints.

Rub Marks – rats use established paths along skirting boards and walls because of their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt on their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may remain for a long period of time, they are not a good gauge of an active infestation.

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 that they are present in the area.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – these rodents are commonly nestling in warm and hidden places using their stained materials such as papers and fabrics. Check your attics, basements and other closed areas like closets, drawers and cabinets to find some nests and you may find some of their babies.

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and unearthing wide tube frameworks for shelter, food stockpiling and settling. Look for tunnels in fertilizer piles, under decking or gardens, or in carports.

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