Rats are frequently seen in the United Kingdom. They could be an issue inside or outside, although rats are typically only a problem if they’re inside your home or business. Rats can spread diseases such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, so it is essential to deal with a suspected rat problem immediately. This is particularly vital if the rats are suspected to be in your kitchen or some other area where food is stored.
There are various methods to handle a rat infestation. Traps can be utilised, either triggered traps in particular areas where you know rats will pass, or bait traps which lure rats into them. Poison is also popular, although it’s advised that poison is only used as a last resort in external areas due to the risk to other animals due to secondary poisoning. Another effective method is to remove the rat’s food source and usage of an area. This is complicated as rats may have several ways of gaining access, but by obstructing these they can be stopped from entering buildings. Taking away their food sources is likewise effective, especially if they are feeding on food that you leave out for pets.
Expert pest control companies will be able to survey the building and identify the most effective methods of managing a rat infestation. This will typically involve several visits over a short period to set and then remove traps.
