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’re harbingers of diseases. Their presence makes us puke in disgust and can be unsettling.

Rats are undesirable guests for they carry a whole lot of microorganisms that may cause diseases to humans and animals. Once they enter our house or the construction, they can settle and colonise the region fast. The quicker they breed in the area, the bigger the problem will be that households and companies will deal with.

That’s why, rat management is important for households and businesses to prevent risk for property damages and as well to animal and human health. As we all know, every year, the death toll increases as lots of men and women 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.

Spotting an infestation as early as possible can resolve the matter and be able to effectively control an infestation. Rats can breed quickly and can possibly form to a major issue whenever left unmanaged.

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 problem, rather than the actual pest.

To make sure that you have a rat infestation, look for the following signs below:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated regions. Rats defecate around 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 skillful climbers. You may hear they scurry under decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified with a grinding sound they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (going for walks tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in temperate, less-used regions of houses. Shining a flashlight at a very 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 – rats use based paths along skirting boards and walls because of their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt in their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears may remain for a long time period, they are not a superior indicator of an active infestation.

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