Rats mark their territory by urinating frequently and they carry many diseases that are hazardous to our health such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii and Hantavirus. They will often find ways into food stores and contaminate food and preparation surfaces. Rats will chew and strip the cover from wires and cables, tear up loft insulation and gnaw on wooden structural beams.

Common signs of a rat infestation
Rats are a type of long-tailed rodent known for being unsanitary and leaving destruction in their wake. You can tell a rat has made a base in your house if you see droppings that are dark brown and spindle-shaped. Damaged furniture is another indicator, as rats destroy objects and materials to create nests in areas such as within the walls or under floorboards. Additionally, rats destroy the packaging of food, so if you see holes in boxes of cereals or bags of crisps, chances are there is a rat around. Lots of clutter in an unused room is an invitation for pests to hide, including rats and cockroaches.

Sprinkling small patches of it in corners of suspected areas will show you a trail of footprints to where they may be hiding.
