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 items and contamination of food, water and environment.

If you suspect rat infestation, then be sure to act upon it the soonest possible. Rats can breed quickly and the more they stay longer in the area, the larger is the risk for property damage and diseases.

Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal animals, rodents are most active between dusk and dawn and ordinarily escape people during the day. It is usually simpler to spot signs of an issue, rather than the real pest.

To be sure that you have a rat infestation, look for these 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 colour and almost look like grains of rice

Scratching noises – Rats often move around in the dark and out of reach areas like the attic, roof and in small cracks and holes in the house. They are agile climbers and can easily enter into attic spaces and upper floors of the buildings. When they move, they produce scratching noises. Sometimes, you may also hear grinding noises this is because they gnaw on wood or plastics.

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, sprinkle fine flour or talc along a little stretch of floor near the footprints and await fresh tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – rats leave these marks on dividers and sheets where they move in and out of the premises. This is because of the poor vision. The marks are made up of dirt and oil that stuck on their bodies. When they crawl, they leave smears and dull blemishes on things and surfaces that they run over and brush against. Seeing these imprints may indicate their presence.

Damage – rats have teeth that develop continuously. They wish to gnaw on wood and plastic to keep 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, cabinets and drawers 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.

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 eradicate these pests.
