Rodents are commensal pests, thriving in urban habitats from Pudsey, Kirkstall and Hunslet to Chapel Allerton, that can offer them ample food and shelter. Both rats and house mice are omnivorous, consuming whatever they can from contents of compost and rubbish bins to discarded left-overs and even the food in our homes if they get in.
The quickest and most effective way to get rid of rats or mice is by professional, targeted pest control treatments.

Looking for rats exterminator?
How to tell if your house has rats - If you’re wondering how to tell if your house has rats, you need only look for a few basic things. Rats are larger than mice and will leave droppings that are much larger than those of a mouse. Rat droppings are about the size of a bean, and are often dark in color. These can be confused with squirrel droppings. If large pieces of feces have been found, look to the rest of the building to determine if the animal is a rat or a squirrel. Squirrels tend to live in attics and eaves. These tree-goers do not want to be too far from the outside. Unlike a rat, squirrels look to a house only for shelter. Rats will invade much deeper into the home, living in walls, ceilings, floors, basements, etc. A rat will also be more limited in the areas where it leaves waste. Rats like to mark their routes of travel with feces and urine. They will not leave random droppings throughout the home. Squirrels are less picky, leaving waste wherever they travel. Both squirrels and rats are destructive, but chewing or scratching within the walls is likely to be a rat. Because they need to get food from the outside, squirrels like to confine their nests to eaves and attics.
Let professionals get rid of rats
There are many ways to get rid of rats living under your home, including do-it-yourself options and professional services. Do-it-yourself options such as over-the-counter traps and poison are viable solutions for minor rat infestations, but may not be as effective for larger issues. Professional rat removal experts often use commercial grade traps or baits, including locking bait stations suitable for indoor use to address an infestation. In most cases, these solutions are more effective at resolving an infestation and preventing future rat issues.
Look for a reputable rat control company
By nature, rats prefer dark, damp spaces to make their nests. Unfortunately, this describes perfectly the space under many Portland-area homes. In fact, the Portland area’s combination of forests, waterways and residential neighborhoods serve as a breeding ground for Norway and other types of rats.
In most cases, it isn’t difficult to tell if you have rats living under your home; the sound of rats scurrying about is fairly telling. There are other indicators of a rat infestation, including gnaw marks in wood, wiring, siding, dirt and other materials around the foundation of your home. The presence of rat droppings is another good sign that you have a problem. Deceased rats may also cause a noticeable odor.
Always go for an immediate and effective rat removal service
If you have noticed any of these indicators, it is important to take swift action. Rats carry diseases that are transmittable to humans, including hantavirus, salmonella, tularemia and bubonic plague. In addition to these health issues, rats left unchecked under your home may lead to significant damage to your wiring, floorboards and more. Simply put, without the proper action, a rat infestation can quickly become an unmanageable and costly issue.
Fortunately, you have options when dealing with a rat problem under your home.
