Rats: Unwelcome Rodent Invaders
Summary: Rats, particularly brown rats, are medium-sized rodents with long tails, known for their adaptability and rapid reproduction. They are typically brown or grey in colour and can grow to be quite large.
Habitat: Highly adaptable, rats can thrive in urban, suburban, and rural environments. They are commonly found in buildings, sewers, gardens, and anywhere they can access food and water.
Why They Are Pests: Rats spread diseases (like Leptospirosis, Hantavirus), contaminate food, damage property by gnawing on structures, wires, and pipes, and their presence can cause significant distress.
Why Use a Professional: Effective rat control requires a comprehensive approach including sanitation, exclusion, and often, population reduction. Professionals have access to specialized tools and knowledge of rat behaviour to effectively eliminate infestations and prevent their return. DIY methods often fail to address the root of the problem and can even worsen the situation.
