Rat Infestation

Just the notion of rats will certainly send shivers down the spine because of the threat they bring not just in our homes and businesses but also to our wellbeing.

No one actually likes rats as they are thought of as a nuisance in both families and companies. They linger in our assumptions scavenging for food and build nests to breed. Their presence equals to distress, sanitation risk and health threats.

Rat control is essential to keep us from various illnesses and germs. There are about a dozen of pervasive illnesses directly linked to rats. Around the globe, rats are known to disperse more than 35 illnesses that can infect both pets and individuals, including plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia. The nearness of rats in establishments represent a genuine risk to human well-being. The disease threat alone is a justifiable cause for concern and for the execution 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 contamination and items of food, water and environment.

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 can breed quickly and have the potential to develop into a serious problem if left unmanaged.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

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

Rub Marks – rats use based routes alongside skirting boards and partitions due to their poor eyesight. They leave marks mixed with grease and dirt on areas where they crawl. These marks might also suggest rat activity, however as smears may also remain for an extended time period, they may be no longer a terrific gauge of a visible infestation.

Damage – rats have teeth that develop continuously. They want to gnaw on wood and plastic to maintain 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 get some nests and you might find some of their babies.

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and exhuming broad tunnel frameworks for nests, food storage and settling. Search for tunnels in manure piles, under decking garages, or in carports.

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