Contact Total Defence for excellent Rats Control Services in Sharjah and Dubai. Rats are sophisticated and highly adaptive pests that can inflict considerable damage and serious health problems.
Rats are larger and more destructive than mice. Their teeth grow continuously, so they must keep nibbling to wear them down often causing catastrophic damage to electrical wiring, plumbing, insulations. They can carry deadly diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, Rat-Bite Fever, Hantavirus.
The droppings are larger and capsule shaped and are commonly discovered along runways, near food supplies or in hidden spots.
Visible chew marks on wood, plastic, electrical cables, pipes and food packaging.
Rats leave dark, greasy rub scars along walls, pipes where they travel regularly. These are made from the oil and grime of their fur.
Heaps of shredded paper, cloth, insulation or other soft materials usually in warm locations such as attics, basements, wall gaps or under appliances.
Loud scratching, chewing or scrambling noises, typically coming from ceilings or wall voids, frequently at night.
Seeing live rats, especially in the daytime, it usually means you have a established rat infestation.
Burrows around building foundations, beneath sheds or in compost piles are a common sign of rat activity.
Rats pose severe and multifaceted risks:
Rats are significant vectors for a wide array of dangerous diseases that can be transmitted to humans directly via bites, droppings or indirectly through fleas/ticks they carry.
They contaminate food and preparation surfaces with their urine, droppings and fur, creating serious health risks and causing damage to homes and businesses.
Their gnawing can damage electrical wiring, increasing the risk of short circuits, plumbing, insulation, structural wood, furniture and stored products
For businesses, a rat infestation can lead to serious health code violations, costly fines, and can damage their reputation.
Rat droppings, urine can cause serious allergic responses and exacerbate asthma symptoms.
The presence of rats can cause extreme distress, fear and anxiety for occupants.
Preventing rat infestations requires comprehensive exclusion, meticulous sanitation, and aggressive habitat reduction:
Seal any holes or gaps greater than 1/4 inch around foundations, walls, utility lines and under doors. Rats can infiltrate your property through the smallest opening.
Store all food, including pet food and daily use items in heavy and airtight containers. Clean up spills and crumbs immediately. Clean any type of standing water instantly.
Use rodent-proof trash containers that have tight fitting lids. Empty them regularly and keep outside bins away from the building.
Clear away debris from basements, attics, garages and outside places. Store firewood away from structures and off the ground.
Trim trees, shrubs and overgrown branches away from your structure so roof rats can’t use them to obtain easy access to the items.
Regularly inspect your property for any indicators of rat activity like droppings, gnawing marks or unusual noises. The earlier you deal with the infestation the better it is.
