There are only two main species of rat in Britain. The Brown Rat or Common Rat and the Black Rat or Ship Rat.
The Brown or Common Rat is as the name suggests – common. Unlike the Black Rat which is now rarely found, and if it is they tend to stick to port towns close to ships. Rats are fantastic adaptors and can live in almost any man-made environment. They have well developed senses of smell taste and touch, as well as hearing. Rats can breed rapidly and within a short space of time, and very quickly take over your home of business. Rats also need to gnaw to keep their constantly growing incisor teeth worn down, and therefore can damage woodwork, plastic, bricks and lead pipes, and will strip insulation from electrical cables.
Rats live in any situation that provides food, water and shelter. In houses they live in lofts, wall cavities or under floors. In gardens, they will burrow into grassy banks or under sheds.
Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans – these include Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria and name a few.
Rats can damage properties – they have been know to cause serious house fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and even death by chewing through gas pipes.
Rats can ruin your business – with social media nowadays the last thing you want is a picture of a rat running around your premises doing the rounds on Facebook.
You have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep your property rodent free.
For any rat problem, you should always contact a professional pest control company, like AZK Pest Control. We are highly trained in rat control and will have access to a range of professional use products that you can’t buy over the counter. Public use products are close to useless, so if you decide to carry out the work yourself you may actually be making the problem worse as they may become resistant to the chemicals.
AZK Pest Control use a mixture of rat control techniques from trapping and poison to proofing and environmental management.
