The simple solution to your Rat Pest Control
Rats have been with us for centuries and live wherever humans have settled. Although there are many species of rat, the black rat and brown rat are the two main rat pests in the UK. The black rat is believed to have been brought over to the UK from around the first century AD. The brown rat, which is more adapted to cooler climes and larger than the black rat is now more common. However, both still exist in London.
Rats are much larger than mice, with brown rats being up to 28cm long and a tail slightly shorter.
Rats make great climbers and are very intelligent. They also have an acute sense of hearing and smell. They can jump and squeeze their bodies through small spaces due to their physiology. This means rats can get under doors if the gap is big enough.
Being rodents, they need to continuously gnaw to keep their teeth size down. Apart from the damage to your property and food they can also spread bacteria and disease as they move around. Another risk is fire and flooding due to their persistent chewing.
Rats are omnivorous although cereals form the main part of their diet. They also need access to water.
The brown rat’s gestation period is 21 days and a single rat can have up to 14 young. One rat can produce 5 litters a year.
Once you have a rat infestation it can be very challenging to remove them.
