Signs of a Rat Infestation
Rats don’t stay invisible for long. Look out for these telltale signs:
Rat Droppings – Dark, pellet-shaped, about the size of a grain of rice. Common near food, along baseboards, or under sinks.
Gnaw Marks – Chewing damage on wires, wood, food containers, or insulation.
Scratching & Scurrying Noises – Nighttime activity inside walls, ceilings, attics, or basements.
Nests – Shredded insulation, paper, or fabric tucked into hidden corners.
Strong Odors – A musky ammonia smell from urine and droppings.
How Rats Get Inside
Rats are excellent climbers and can squeeze through holes as small as a quarter. Common entry points include:
-
Cracks in foundations and siding
-
Openings around pipes, vents, and utility lines
-
Gaps under garage doors, windows, or basement doors
-
Roof vents, soffits, chimneys, or fascia boards
Why Rat Infestations Are Dangerous
Even a few rats can cause major problems. Risks include:
-
Health Hazards – Rats spread bacteria and diseases such as Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and Hantavirus.
-
Fire Risks – Chewed electrical wiring increases the chance of house fires.
-
Property Damage – Insulation, drywall, wood, and stored items are at risk.
-
Rapid Infestation Growth – Rats breed quickly, turning a small problem into a full infestation in weeks.
