Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal creatures, rats are most active between dusk and dawn and usually hide from humans during the day. It is often easier to spot signs of a issue, rather than the actual pest.

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

Rat droppings – normally found in concentrated areas as rats create up to 40 droppings per night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle-shape and they can resemble a Big grain 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 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 under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified by a grinding noise they make with their teeth called bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks in dusty, less-used regions of houses. Shining a flashlight at a low angle should show tracks vividly. 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 following day.

Rub Marks – these are mainly oily oil and dirt left on regions 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 isn’t a good gauge of an infestation, most of the time.

Damage – due to their long incisor, rats constantly gnaw on things mostly wood and plastic materials in order to trim their teeth.

Rats Nests & Burrows

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

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