How To Identify Rat Infestation:

Rats are active at night, therefore, to properly identify a plague of rats, it is necessary to look at the traces of rat activity, among which we can mention the following:

Gnawing noises: In the walls or under the floor. They can also be heard running through false ceilings.

Odor: Rats leave behind an ammonia-like fragrance, especially strong in more confined areas.

Rat Nest: Rats construct homes in warm, covered-up places with materials like paper and destroyed texture. Settles frequently contain child rodents.

Droppings: Rats leave dark, pointed droppings about 10-14mm long.

Burrows: In gardens, rodents dig tunnels particularly in manure heaps and under sheds. They additionally assemble homes under garden decks.

Defects: Rats’ teeth grow continuously and gnaw on wood and plastic.

At Safe Pest Control, we are fully aware of this species and its behavior, we constantly carry out rat extermination services in various places. We managed to substantially reduce the rodent population. Trust us, hire a professional.

The components of the genus Rattus have the typical biological cycle of mammals, the female gives birth at 21 days (vent rat) or 22 (black rat).

The rat can generate 5 to 14 offspring and the black rat from 5 to 10, the offspring become adults at 2 and 3 months respectively. The number of births per year that females can have is variable and happens depending on temperature conditions, food availability, or ease in the construction of appropriate burrows.

This means that the number of births can range from 2 to 7 for the sewer rat and from 3 to 5 for the black rat. The average lifespan of the cloaca rat is 3 to 4 years, while the black rat can live 3 to 7 years. See below the types of rats.

Sewer Rat:

It usually lives in very humid places, being the one that has proliferated the most in the network of sewers, extraordinary swimmers, and acceptable climbers.

It is omnivorous, it can still feed on insects, such as their corpses, vegetables, or very diverse materials (paper, wood, rubber, lead, tin, plastic), being able to ingest a third of its weight every day.

They build burrows in holes under the ground or inside sewers and penetrate houses in search of food to return to the burrow where they feed their young, although if they find an appropriate place they may nest inside. or near human-built facilities.

Its activity is mainly at twilight and its routes inside the buildings tend to follow the corners of the walls, where it feels safer because it has a protected side. In open spaces, they prefer to follow the shortest route, even if this means crossing open spaces.

Black Rat:

The black rat makes its burrows in dry places and once it has chosen the place, it is very difficult for it to leave this area. It does not like to travel long distances to feed, but it avoids open areas, even if this means going around a lot.

It feeds on animal and vegetable products, is a good climber, and can climb completely smooth walls at great speed, and it is common for them to form nests in the upper parts of palm trees or in the attics of houses.

The two species live in a community so they often send scouts in search of food to new areas to go to live.

When they discover new food, all their behavior is extraordinarily distrustful, first, one of the components of the community tests it and in the event that it dies, it is rejected by all the members for the rest of its life.

It is necessary to highlight the ease of immunization of these mammals against any poisonous matter, thanks to mechanisms that change their metabolism or the practice of cannibalism that allows them to ingest small doses of the poison to eliminate them, facilitating immunization.

Mice:

All mice are omnivores, although they show preferences for the seeds of cereals and derived products. When these are missing they can eat the strangest things we can imagine: soap, leather, wax, plastics, or paper.

An adult specimen eats about 3 grams of solid food per day, (equivalent to 70-100 grams of wheat), but the damage they cause is much greater since the mice delight in trying everything and try a little of everything. the sites, so that everything that has been tested has to be thrown away.

They are also dirty with urine and excrement wherever they go, destroying an even greater number of foods.

Its reproduction is carried out throughout the year if the conditions are favorable. A female can give birth about 8 times each year and in each birth, 5 to 6 pups are born, although there can be births of up to 10 pups.

House mouse little guys become reproductively skilled at about a month and a half old enough. Inside structures, they cause their homes anyplace where they to feel safeguarded, in upper rooms, on the floor behind cupboards, or even inside drawers.

They assemble the homes with any suitable material, fabric, fleece, paper, or plastic.
