About Rat Rodent/ Vermin Pests: Brown Rat, Common Rat, Norway Rat, Sewer Rat – Rattus Norvegicus
There is a reason that horror books have been written about rats, they are incredibly nasty creatures. While some pests can be dealt with reasonably well without professional help, it is essential that you contact a professional as soon as you know you have a rat infestation so that they can implement the proper rat control procedures.
Rats are generally nocturnal animals, so you might see signs that you have a rat infestation before you actually see any rats. There are obvious things to look for, such as rat droppings, which share the general dimensions of a sultana. Also chewed bits of furniture or wiring could also be a sign of a rat infestation, although that could also be an indication of mice. If you find any tracks in dust on the floor followed by a tail mark that is a good sign; you can tell them from mice tracks because rat’s feet are quite big whereas mice’s feet are tiny. Of course if you have a mouse infestation that is also serious, but not as serious as rats due to the greater danger of contracting diseases from rats.
Rat’s teeth are strong enough to chew through aluminium. Holes in the wall are another sign of a rat infestation, as are smears on the wall. These come from the oil on a rat’s fur which comes off when they rub against it.
The most sure-fire way of knowing that you have a rat infestation, however, is when you come face to face with a rat. It’s not a pretty sight, and although they won’t attack for no reason, you should be careful that you don’t get into a position where they can bite you as this will be very painful and quite serious.
Prior to carrying out treatment against rats a thorough inspection or survey will take place to decide on the extent and size of the infestation. Adjoining areas will be included in this survey (as rodents may travel from other areas to feed or drink then return to harbourage).
