Rat Infestation

The notion of rat Infestation makes 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 may be unsettling.

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

Rat control is important to avoid a number of serious diseases, which rats are known to transmit in a variety of means. There are nearly a dozen prevalent diseases directly connected to rats. Around the world, rats are known to spread over 35 diseases that can infect both people and pets, including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia. The presence of rats in establishments pose a serious threat to human health. The disease threat alone is a justifiable cause for concern and for the implementation of sound control procedures.

Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to gain access into your home or business premises they can spread these diseases, causing considerable damage and contamination of food. Even rats in the garden and outside can also present tremendous risk, especially since those areas are visited by children and pets.

Acting upon the first sign of a suspected problem can help to drastically reduce the amount of time required to effectively control an infestation. Rats are able to breed quickly and have the capacity to develop into a serious issue if left unmanaged.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

Rats are adaptable creatures and they can reside anywhere in your house or at any building. You have probably heard individuals that there are rats in the attic, cellar, 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 prevent human contact.

To make sure that you have rat infestations, watch out for the following 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 attic spaces and upper floors of buildings. The hearing scratching noises at night from above may suggest 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 (running tracks) – rats leave tail and foot mails in temperate, 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 believe they are crawling and then check for new tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – rats use established routes alongside skirting walls and boards because of their poor eyesight. They leave marks mixed with grease and dirt on areas where they crawl. These marks might also suggest rat action, however as smears may also remain for an extended time period, they may be no more an excellent judge of a visible infestation.

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

Rats Nests & Burrows

Homes – rats construct nests in warm, shrouded places using destroyed material, by way of instance, paper and textures. Homes will regularly include young rats and are normally found near a sustenance source. Check behind and under machines, for example, fridges and coolers in or close to your kitchen.

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and unearthing broad tunnel frameworks for shelter, food stockpiling and settling. Look for tunnels in fertilizer piles, under decking or gardens, or in carports.

When you have spotted signs of rat infestations, it is ideal to get proficient treatment. Our certified local administration specialists are backed by international knowledge and pest technology advancement that can enable you to dispose of these mischievous pests for good.
