Pest Control for Rats - What problems do they cause?

Rats are a common pest that can cause numerous problems in both residential and commercial settings. Some of the issues they cause include:

Property damage: Rats have strong teeth that they use to chew through wood, plastic, and even electrical wires. This can lead to structural damage to buildings and homes, as well as electrical fires.
Health risks: Rats carry a variety of diseases that can be transmitted to humans through their urine, feces, and bites. These diseases include leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, among others.
Contamination: Rats will often rummage through garbage cans and other sources of food, leaving behind droppings and urine that can contaminate surfaces and food products.

How do you get rid of rats?

To get rid of rats, several steps are involved that we would take:

Inspection: The first step in rat control is to conduct a thorough inspection of the property to determine where the rats are entering and where they are nesting.

Exclusion: Once the entry points and nesting areas are identified, we will seal off any openings to prevent rats from entering or exiting. This may involve repairing cracks in walls, installing door sweeps, and sealing gaps around pipes and cables.

Trapping and removal: Trapping is an effective way to eliminate rats that are already present in the property. We will set up traps in strategic locations and check them regularly to remove any trapped rats.

Sanitation: To prevent future rat infestations, we will recommend sanitation measures such as keeping food stored in sealed containers, disposing of garbage properly, and cleaning up spills and crumbs.

Overall, we can effectively eliminate rats and prevent future infestations, protecting both property and health.
