Rat Droppings & Scratching Noises

As nocturnal animals, rats are most lively at dusk and dawn and typically hide out of sight out of people and other animals for the duration of the day. It’s simply less difficult to spot indications of an issue, instead of the actual pest.

Watch out for the corresponding signs below, as you may have rats in your place:

Rat droppings – rats defecate and produce droppings up to 40 at night. These wastes are usually dark brown in Colour and resemble a large grain of rice

Scratching noises – Rats often move around in the dark and out of reach areas such as the loft, roof and in small cracks and holes in the home. They are agile climbers and can easily enter into attic spaces and upper floors of the buildings. When they move, they produce scratching noises. Sometimes, you may also hear grinding noises this is because they gnaw on wood or plastics.

Rats Footprints, Rub Marks & Damage

Footprints (running tracks) – rats leave foot and tail marks in 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 little stretch of floor near the footprints and check for new tracks the following day.

Rub Marks – rats use based paths along skirting boards and walls due to their poor eyesight. Grease and dirt in their bodies leave smudges and dark marks on both objects and surfaces they brush against. These marks may indicate rodent activity, but as smears can remain for a long time period, they are not a good gauge of an active infestation.

Damage – due to their long incisor, rats always gnaw on things mostly plastic and wood materials in order to trim their teeth.

Rats Nests & Burrows

Nests – these rodents are commonly nestling in warm and concealed places using their shredded materials such as papers and fabrics. Check your attics, basements and other closed areas like closets, drawers and cabinets to find some nests and you may find some of their babies.

Burrows – brown rats are notable for burrowing and exhuming wide tube frameworks for nests, food storage and settling. Look for tunnels in manure piles, under decking garages, or in carports.
