Do you have rats in the garden or on yourbusiness premises? Rats are more common in gardens and properties in urban locations than you might think. They tend to live below ground in the sewage system. It is when sewer pipes or drains are damaged that rats readily gain access to gardens and properties in their search for food.
Telltale signs that rats have been in your garden include holes in the ground (especially near sheds), runs in your garden where grass appears discoloured and dying, and black rat droppings about a three-quarter inches in length with rounded ends.
Any food scraps that are left lying around in your garden have the potential to attract rats. If you suspect that rats are visiting your garden, or you see rats in the garden, take immediate steps to remove all potential sources of food on the ground. If you are feeding birds in your garden it is wise to stop and remove the bird feeders for a couple of weeks.
Rats spread disease. Under no circumstances handle rats found in your garden. Use gloves to handle items that might have been infected by rat urine or droppings, and make sure they are thoroughly disinfected before being put back into use.
Do you run a business?
Rat control is extremely important around business properties for health and safety reasons. Not only might your staff’s health be affected by the diseases rats spread, but so could the health of your customers. If Health and Safety inspectors find that you have a rat infestation and have not taken the necessary actions to eliminate the problem using a professional pest control service, you may be fined and your business forced to close down.
