How to tell if you have a rat in your house?
There are signs to look out for that may indicate you have an unwelcome visitor to your home or garden.
These include:
- Rat Droppings – dark brown and spindle shape.
- Rat tracks with paw prints and tail marks in a dusty area of the house.
- Smear marks from greasy fur along walls or skirting boards.
- Damage to cables and wood from gnaw marks.
- Noises in the walls, especially at night when rats are more active and on the move.
- Rats can make nests in loft spaces and inside cavity walls.
Where do rats live?
Rats can jump, climb, chew through wood, burrow and find a place to nest in your home or garden. These might not be in the most obvious places and can include:
- Lofts
- Kitchens
- Walls and Hidden areas
- Garden sheds/workshops
- Under cover of garden decking
- Drain areas
