The notion of rat Infestation makes everyone of us cringe. Generally, rats do not have a reputation as cuddly and cute pets as the fact that they are harbingers of diseases. Their existence makes us puke in disgust and can be unsettling.
No one really likes rats as they are considered to be a nuisance in both families and businesses. They linger in our premises 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 several illnesses and germs. There are about a dozen of pervasive illnesses directly linked to rats. Around the planet, 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 real risk to human well-being. 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 get access into your house or business premises they could spread these diseases, causing appreciable damage and contamination of food. Even rats in the garden and outside can also pose tremendous risk, particularly since those areas are seen by children and pets.
Spotting an infestation as early as possible can resolve the matter and be able to effectively control an infestation. Rats can breed rapidly and can possibly form to a major issue whenever left unmanaged.
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, as opposed to the actual pest.
To ensure that you have rat infestations, look out for these signs below:
Rat droppings – usually found in concentrated areas as rats produce up to 40 droppings each night. Brown rat droppings are dark brown in a tapered, spindle-shape and they can resemble a Big 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 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 called bruxing.
Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks from dusty, less-used areas of buildings. Shining a strong flashlight at a very low angle should show tracks clearly. To establish when an infestation is active, sprinkle fine flour or talc along a small stretch of floor near the footprints and check for fresh tracks the following day.
Smear marks – because rats can go in and out of any areas in the house or building, they frequently leave rub marks or smear marks that are made of grease and their fur. You can find these smudges left on walls or furniture that comes with unpleasant odor.
Gnaw marks – rats continue gnawing on things made of wood and plastics to keep their teeth trimmed. This is because rats’ teeth grow continuously. You can find these gnawing marks on items and furniture and is one of the sure signs they are present in the area.
Homes – rats construct nests in hot, shrouded places utilising destroyed material, for instance, paper and textures. Homes will regularly contain young rats and are normally found near a sustenance source. Check behind and under machines, for instance, fridges and coolers in or near your kitchen.
Burrows – brown rats are well known for digging and excavating extensive burrow systems for shelter, food storage and nesting. Search for burrows in compost heaps, under decking or garden sheds, or in garages.
