Rat Infestation

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

Rats are well known to spread diseases, damage land and contaminate food and animal feed. If they are able to gain entry into your house or business area, they can present other unwelcome parasites such as fleas, lice and ticks.

That’s why, rat management is important for households and businesses to prevent risk for property damages and as well to human and animal 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 disperse 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 contamination and items of food, water and environment.

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

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

Rats are adaptable creatures and they can live anywhere in your house or at any building. You have probably heard individuals that there are rats in the attic, basement, in between the walls or in old furniture. Because technically they are nocturnal creatures, rats are heard squeaking and running around. But during the day, they hide out of sight to avoid human contact.

To ensure that you have rat infestations, watch out for these signs below:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated areas. Rats defecate around 40 droppings at night, their droppings are usually dark brown in colour and almost look like grains 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 gain access into attic 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 under 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 – rats can leave foot and tail marks when they float 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 use based paths along skirting boards and walls due to their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt on their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they repeatedly brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may stay for a long time period, they’re not a good gauge of an active infestation.

Damages – rats have teeth that develop and grow over time. They have to chew on wood and plastic to keep them trim.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – these rodents are commonly nestling in warm and concealed 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 – sometimes, rats lived outdoors and they create burrows for shelter, food storage and nesting. They dig out mostly if you’ve got a garden and create extensive burrow system.

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