Rat Infestation

The notion of rat Infestation makes everyone of 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.

No one actually likes rats as they are thought of as a nuisance in both families and companies. They linger in our premises scavenging for food and build nests to breed. Their presence equals to discomfort, sanitation risk and health threats.

That is why, rat management is important for households and businesses 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 lots of people are killed by acquiring diseases coming from rat infestation. These creepy creatures are known to disperse over 35 diseases including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia.

That’s the reason rat control is very crucial and there is nearly a dozen of deaths which are directly linked to rats transmitting diseases. Their presence poses huge threat not only for harm to properties but also to humans and animal health.

Suspecting a rat issue? Do not worry. Act on it immediately and get in touch with the nearest pest control experts.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal animals, rats are most dynamic at dusk and dawn and typically hide out of sight out of people and other animals for the duration of the day. It is simply less difficult to spot indications of a problem, rather than the actual pest.

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

Rat droppings – rats defecate and produce droppings around 40 at night. These wastes are usually dark brown in Color and resemble a large grain of rice

Scratching noises – Rats often move around in the dark and out of reach areas such as the loft, 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 (going for walks tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in temperate, less-used areas of homes. Shining a flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks . 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.

Rub Marks – rats leave these marks on sheets and dividers where they move in and out of the premises. This is because of their poor vision. The marks are made up of dirt and oil 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.

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 things and furniture and is one of the sure signs they are present in the area.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nest – rats construct homes in warm, shrouded places utilising destroyed material, such as, paper and fabrics. The nest will regularly contain young rats and are normally found near a food source. Check behind and under machines, for example, coolers and fridges in or close to your kitchen.

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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

My pets in the household will be affected by the treatments you apply?

The security of your pet is very important to us. You may rest assured that any active component they come in contact with, either when it’s still damp or through inhalation or ingesting it, is a tiny amount.

Can the spray cause any problems to humans?

The spray we use is often employed in public areas such as schools and hospitals and causes no ill effects on humans.
