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, as opposed to the actual pest.

Watch out for the accompanying signs mentioned below, to know if you’ve been infested with rodents:

Rat droppings – normally found in concentrated zones as rats produce around 40 droppings for each evening. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle-shaped and they can take after a huge 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 loft 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 (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot mails in dusty, less-utilised zones. To know if an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or powder along the tiny stretch of floor or to areas where you think they are crawling and then check for new tracks the following 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 things and surfaces they run over and brush against. Seeing these imprints may indicate their presence.

Gnaw marks – rats continue gnawing on things made of wood and plastics 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 that they are present in the area.
