Problems caused by Rats

The most common problem comes from the brown rat. As well as spreading disease, contaminating food and water, rats are also destructive to property and will chew on almost anything. Rats can also bite and are especially a problem if there are babies or very young children around.

Identify a Rat problem

In the home you will usually find rats in the kitchen, under cupboards, behind fridges and appliances, under decking, behind sheds or in roof spaces, although they can get into most places within the home. Most commonly you will either hear them scratching or spot signs of rats droppings first, which look like large brown pellets. You will often see signs of the damage they leave behind where they have chewed through things, often food containers or wood. Rats can be found living outside around 3% of dwellings in London and Hertfordshire.London Pest Control
