What's the best way to get rid of rats?

Rats are the most destructive pests known to man and are also the known source of numerous diseases which can afflict humans and domestic animals.

Britain's homes are being invaded by hungry rats seeking other food sources following the closure of restaurants, experts said today.

Rodents are sneaking in under doors, through cracks and even in drains in search of a meal, exterminators warn.

It is thought the pests are becoming increasingly desperate as their regular food sources dwindle while people stay inside.


Rats and Mice Vermin Problem Gets bigger

One of the leading authorities on dealing with rodents said around half of the professionals it had polled during lockdown had seen an increase in activity. Rats in particular may be becoming more visible in areas of population.

With less footfall across cities and towns there is less associated food waste being left in bins and on the floor. As a result, rat populations are likely to move further afield to satisfy their need for a food source and this, in turn, is likely to cause more sightings.

By nature, rats will also try to avoid humans directly and so, with less people walking the streets, they may be getting a little bolder and possibly be seen in areas they normally wouldn’t.

In terms of rats in domestic homes, so long as you manage your food waste properly and there are no considerable harbourage opportunities, you shouldn’t experience any unusual problems.

The risk may be that if you find you are doing more gardening and creating more garden waste, the storage of this in piles around your garden can provide a perfect place for rats to live and breed.


Put a stop to Your rat issue quickly

Pest experts working in homes around the country say they have experienced similar issues. One firm has seen a 50 per cent increase in residential call-outs since social distancing measures were introduced. Rats are coming into homes - that's exactly what's happening.

All of the waste that was produced by people eating food out, and from establishments doing the cooking - that's gone. Some bin collections aren't quite as frequent at the moment too. They are getting into rubbish.

When rats are hungry they will eat each other. They will use a hierarchy in cities - the big rats will eat the smaller ones. They will come in using the drainage system - they eat feces. They transmit diseases. A professional should be called to deal with the problem.

The experts don't want people trying to sort it out themselves and using their own poison and contracting something - they need to stay away. It's really important to get an expert in.



Store Food Correctly and stop rodents

When the lockdown was first announced some people took to stockpiling food, fearing supermarkets would run out. But a leading body recently warned of the dangers of doing so - fearing it could further encourage rats into residential properties.

Rodents could get in without people knowing and cause problems. It’s the same as when rubbish piles up on the street due to missed bin collections. The more that’s there, the more chance there is of attracting rodents without actually seeing them, because they can get in there unnoticed by time you get to bottom of the pile.

Stockpiling will have an effect on public health because if you’re stockpiling goods, there’s more food there to attract rodents. Reports from other countries suggest the problem - brought on by coronavirus - is not just confined to Britain.


Rats and Mice Invading Property for Shelter

An Urban rodentologist believes that cities across the world are being affected after being forced to close restaurants. Rats that were living by that restaurant, some place nearby, and perhaps for decades having generations of rats that depended on that restaurant food, well, life is no longer working for them, and they only have a couple of choices. So these rats are fighting with one another, now the adults are killing the young in the nest and cannibalizing the pups.
