Rats are adaptable creatures and they can reside anywhere in your home or in any building. You have probably heard individuals that there are rats in the attic, basement, in between the walls or in old furniture. Because technically they are nocturnal creatures, rats are heard squeaking and running around. However, during the day, they hide from sight to avoid human contact.
To be sure that you have a rat infestation, look 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 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 skillful climbers. You may hear they scurry beneath decking, sheds and floorboards. They are more likely to be identified with a grinding noise they make with their teeth called bruxing.
Footprints – rats leave foot and tail marks which are sometimes tough to identify. If you can lightly dust on some flour to areas that you suspect they are nesting and crawling, for sure you will see their prints.
Smear marks – because rats can go in and from any areas in the house or building, they often leave rub marks or smear marks that are made of dirt and their fur. You can find these smudges left on furniture or walls that includes unpleasant odor.
Gnaw marks – rats continue gnawing on things made from plastics and wood to keep their teeth trimmed. This is because rats’ teeth grow continuously. You can find these gnawing marks on things and furniture and is one of the sure signs that they are present in the area.
Nests – rats can build their nests in any areas. Sometimes they also dig in the ground to make a burrow system. Either way, they do this to protect themselves from people and animals, as well.
Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and unearthing broad tunnel frameworks for shelter, food stockpiling and settling. Look for tunnels in fertilizer piles, under decking or gardens, or in carports.
