There are plenty of house pests which can linger in your homes or office premises if a place is unsanitary and dirty. You may do the job of inviting the number one pest there is… rats!

Rats are known to spread diseases, injury property and contaminate food and animal feed. In the event that they enter your home, they can even present other unwelcome parasites like insects, 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 almost a dozen widespread diseases directly linked to rats. Around the world, rats are known to disperse over 35 diseases that can infect both pets and people, 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 should they manage to gain access into your home or business premises they could spread these diseases, causing considerable damage and contamination of food. Even rats in the garden and outside can also pose tremendous risk, particularly since those areas are visited by children and pets.

Acting upon the first sign of a suspected problem can help to drastically reduce the length of time needed 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

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, rather than the actual pest.

Watch out for the corresponding signs below, as you may have rats in your place:

Rat droppings – rats defecate and produce droppings up to 40 at night. These wastes are usually dark brown in Colour and resemble a large grain 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 get access into loft 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 beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified with a grinding noise they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave tail and foot marks in dusty, less-used areas of homes. 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.

Smear marks – because rats can go in and out of any areas in the house or building, they often leave rub marks or smear marks which are made of dirt and their fur. You can find these smudges left on walls or furniture that comes with unpleasant odor.

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

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nest – rats build homes in warm, shrouded places using destroyed material, such as, paper and fabrics. The nest will regularly contain young rats and are normally located near a food source. Check behind and beneath machines, for example, coolers and fridges in or near your kitchen.

Burrows – occasionally, rats lived outdoors plus they create burrows for shelter, food storage and nesting. They dig out mostly in the event you’ve got a garden and make extensive burrow system.
