If you have a suspected rat problem there are a few clues that will help us to determine what we are dealing with. The most obvious clue is rodent sightings, however, rats are sometimes confused with mice. Obviously Brown rats are larger than the more common house mouse and are usually pushed into London homes as a result of external influences. These influences can include building works, basements being dug up, renovations and adverse weather conditions. The rise in basement conversions particularly in South-West London has certainly contributed to the rise of rat related activity in London.
Large droppings, eaten or missing food, scratching in cavity walls and ammonic smells are all indicators that there may be rats in the property.
Rats in London pose a serious health risk to humans which include Salmonella, Weil’s disease, Escherichia coli (commonly E. coli) and Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB for tubercle bacillus) and rats in the home must be taken seriously.
Rats are also known carriers of fleas, ticks and lice. Rats are also renowned for causing fires and electrical damage by chewing through cables and wires in cavity structures.
Here is a checklist to tell if you have rats in your property;
- Loud scratching noises as rats scurry around under floorboards behind skirting boards and walls
- A very sharp distinctive ammonic smell
- Musty smell similar to blocked drains
- Large dark droppings usually in clusters 9-15mm long
- Missing food from work surfaces and food larders
- Ripped food packaging/chewed plastics
- Nests and nesting material wood shavings/cardboard/plastic bags, etc.
- External burrows and decking make for ideal harborage
