_{Hello Pest Control} Rat Pest Control

Rats leave behind many telltale signs of infestation, including damage to the home and serious safety risks.

If there is any concern about a rat infestation, contact a professional like Hello Pest to stop the infestation from worsening.

Look out for these signs:

• Droppings: Rat droppings are small and have rounded ends, and are commonly found in corners, under appliances, in drawers, and along baseboards.
• Strong, Musty Odor: A strong smell of ammonia is an indication rats are urinating in the home. Droppings and urine may pose health risks for people in the home.
• Property Damage: Rats dig burrows outside and can cause damage to your yard or garden. They can also chew through walls, insulation, electrical wires, and furniture, causing expensive damage and fire risks.
• Noise and Disruption: As rats are nocturnal, homeowners with an infestation may hear movement in walls, in the attic, or coming from floorboards during the night.
• Live or Dead Rat Sightings: If a rat is seen scurrying through the home, it is a sign that they have begun nesting. It’s important to get your home evaluated by professionals as soon as you can after seeing a rat.
• Chewed Possessions: Rats will chew through wires, boxes, furniture, clothes, and food containers. It’s important to thoroughly sanitize chewed possessions and discard any contaminated food.
