You may also notice small, dark, spindle-shaped droppings or a distinct ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces like cupboards or lofts.Rats have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp, so look for damage to plastic, wood, or even electrical wiring.

Rats are known carriers of various diseases, including Weil’s disease, Salmonella, and Listeria, which can be transmitted through their urine and droppings. Beyond the health risks, they pose a significant threat to the integrity of your building. By chewing through insulation and electrical cables, they can create significant fire hazards and expensive repair bills.Attempting to handle a rat infestation with over-the-counter products often fails because it doesn't address the root cause.
