Rats are among the most common pest infestations we come across and are often described as an epidemic here in the UK. On average the Rat is 5 inches long, has a thin tail, and compared with other rodents are medium in size. Rats eat one tends to eat 1/10 of their body weight on a daily basis, so they are continuously looking for food and prefer cereal type foods.

​

They have excellent hearing and their eyes are more suited to a nocturnal environment which is why you might only hear them at night. Rats need to keep their teeth trimmed which is why they often bite and cause so much damage, they are actually capable of chewing through a concrete slab! It's vitally important to get your rat infestation under control, not only because of the damage they cause, but because it's said that two rats can create 482,508,800 pups in just three years! I know that's a very scary number. 

​

Rats carry numerous diseases; the most dangerous to humans being the plague. This can spread to humans when a flee drinks the blood of a rat in your home and then bites your body. The plague is very dangerous and has a mortality rate of 10% when treated and even higher when untreated, this is why it's so important to call Manchester pest control to remove your rat infestation at the very first sign.

How To Prevent Rat Infestations 

​

Having a rat infestation can be a very dangerous and stressful time, so to prevent the problem from occurring is the best possible solution. There are several ways that Rat Control Manchester recommends, the main one we think is to keep as much food as possible in glass containers with tightly shut lids. This works because without the smell of food there shouldn't be anything attracting rats to your home, and if they do enter and find no food source they should just move along. 

​

Other ways are also fairly simple such as not putting food waste on plants as compost, making sure all your outside bin lids are securely shut, and to hoover up and wipe any food off your sides as often as you can. 

​

Finally, the last major way to keep away rat infestations is to seal up any holes you can find that the rats might use to get into your property. This includes the ground floor and around your roof area.
