Rat Removal

Rats are pesky rodents that can grow from 11 to 19 inches long and weigh up to 1 pound. They often stay in tight spaces, like in your attic, loft, behind appliances, and crawlspace. They may also remain in your outdoor sheds, garbage cans, and drains.

The easiest way to see if you have a rat infestation is by checking for droppings. Rats tend to leave their droppings concentrated, as rats can produce up to 40 droppings every night. Aside from their droppings, their urine also produces a strong musky odor.

Rats also have terrible eyesight, so they often use the walls to help navigate. Unfortunately, this leaves dirt and grease marks on the walls and skirting boards.

You may hear scratching noises, as rats often grind their teeth and rub your roof. Be sure to check for nests in cavity walls and underneath eaves. Rat nests are usually made from shredded cardboard materials, loft insulation, and other soft items.
