It is imperative to keep your living and working space rodent-free for a variety of reasons. Not only do rats bring disease but they can cause havoc all round in offices, homes, factories, shops and restaurants, to name a few examples of where they breed and live. 

The best way to tackle your rodent control is by finding a rodent control specialist near you, instead of trying to eradicate this problem on your own. 

Therefore, when it comes to rat infestations we are dealing with a problem that is far more than just annoying.  

Did you know that rats can eat as much as ten to 15% of their body weight every day in food? Additionally, rats need to feed between 15 and 25 times every day. 

Rats are able to live to the age of two – brown rats will eat absolutely anything, often leaving their food strewn on surfaces and urinating on the food to mark their territory! Not a very appetising thought, whereas black rats, on the other hand, are a little fussier and choose what they will and will not eat. 

Rats chew electricals and increase the risk of electrical challenges and fires, costing thousands.  

Because rats have a nasty habit of defecating and urinating numerous times every day, this could cause disease and attract other rodents. 

Even though rats are less fussy when it comes to what they eat, they can still cause untold problems and can ruin the eaves of roofs. 

Rats can damage both the inside and the outside of roofing. Because black rats prefer chewing on roof leaves, these often create holes that permit other rodents and even rain to get inside your home. 

Hungry rats that don’t live inside will venture outside and start eating vegetation, resulting in ruined gardens. 

Find a rodent control specialist near you to get to the root of the problem and eradicate it entirely.
