Rat Infestation

Nobody 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 while you enjoy your day off from work. There are plenty of house pests that can linger in your homes or office premises if a place is unsanitary and dirty. You may do the job of inviting the number one pest there’s… rats!

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 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 businesses will deal with.

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

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 surroundings.

If you suspect rat infestation, then be sure to act upon it the soonest possible. Rats can breed quickly 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 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.

To be sure that you have a rat infestation, look for these signs below:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated areas. 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 could 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 beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified by a grinding sound they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks from dusty, less-used areas of buildings. Shining a strong flashlight at a low angle should reveal tracks clearly. To establish if an infestation is active, scatter fine bread or talc along a little stretch of floor near the footprints and await new tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – these are mainly oily oil and dirt left on areas that rats crawl along. These smudges sometimes have rat furs when rats proceed along the surfaces. When you see some, these can indicate their presence but is not a good gauge of an infestation, most of the time.

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

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, cabinets and drawers to find some nests and you may find some of their babies.

Burrows – brown rats are well known for digging and excavating extensive burrow systems for shelter, food storage and nesting. Look for burrows in compost heaps, under decking or garden sheds, or in garages.

Once you are sure that your property has been invaded by these rodents, it is a good idea to seek out the aid of qualified rodent control professionals.
