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 issue, rather than the actual pest.

To make sure that you have a rat infestation, start looking for these signs below:

Rat droppings – these are rat feces and are usually found in concentrated regions. 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 beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more inclined to be identified by a grinding sound they make with their teeth known as bruxing.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in dusty, less-used areas of buildings. Shining a strong flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks clearly. To establish if an infestation is active, scatter fine bread or talc along a little stretch of floor near the footprints and check for fresh 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 activity, however as smears may also stay for an elongated time period, they may be no longer a terrific gauge of a visible infestation.

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

Rats Nests & Burrows

Homes – rats construct nests in hot, shrouded places utilising 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 beneath machines, for instance, fridges and coolers in or near your kitchen.

Burrows – rats love to hide in hidden places and they occasionally use shredded materials like paper and fabric to build their nests. Check out your garden for a pile of dirt as this can indicate that rats have assembled their burrows. You may also check the areas like loft, basement, under the furniture or appliances.

If you’ve spotted indications of rat infestations, the time has come to get proficient treatment. Our certified pest control professionals are encouraged by global knowledge and advancement that can help you completely eliminate these pests.
