How do I know if I have rats?

Rats are a threat to many homes and businesses in Perth and WA. There are many types of rats in Western Australia, but the two most common are roof (black) rats and Norway (brown) rats.Black rats are great climbers and are often found in ceilings and wall cavities, while brown rats nest underground below decks, sheds and anywhere else they can access.

Rats can be present all year round, but they're more likely to seek shelter inside and under buildings in the cold and wet months.You're not likely to see them during the day, unless they're especially hungry. You're more likely to spot their presence through signs such as:

• droppings
• scratching or scurrying sounds
• signs of gnawing around the home
• finding a nest made of household garbage

Why is rat control needed?

Rats can cause serious damage to buildings and their contents if they're left unchecked. As they tend to hide in walls and ceilings, they can damage plasterboard walls and insulation and will even chew on metal and concrete.

More pressing concerns are the electrical hazards and fires that can be caused if rats chew through electrical wires and the health risk of rats and their droppings where people live or work.

Rat removal and prevention

You may be able to remove rats yourself using traps and bait if there are only small numbers and you know how to use these devices safely. Poison baits should not be used anywhere that young children or pets have access to, and you should also take care that pets don't eat rats after poisoning.

If you want to make sure all traces of rats are gone and that they won't come back, you should hire professional rat control services near you. Our Perth pest controllers can:

• Inspect your property to identify all traces of rats and where they gain access
• Set up bait and traps safely around your property
• Track rat movements
• Recommend ways to reduce further rat problems, such as not leaving food waste around and reducing clutter
