Rats are known as: Brown Rat, Common Rat, Norway Rat, Sewer Rat (Rattus norvegicus).
The Rat originated from Asia and China . First recorded in Europe at the beginning of the 18th Century. They were referred to as Norway rats because they were thought to have travelled from the East on Norwegian timber ships.
The most common problem comes from the brown rat. As well as spreading disease, contaminating food and water, rats are also destructive to property and will chew on almost anything. Rats can also bite and are especially a problem if there are babies or very young children around.
In the home you will usually find rats in the kitchen, under cupboards, behind fridges and appliances, under decking, behind sheds or in roof spaces, although they can get into most places within the home.
Most commonly you will either hear them scratching or spot signs of rats droppings first, which look like large brown pellets. You will often see signs of the damage they leave behind where they have chewed through things, often food containers or wood.
Rats can be found living outside around 10% of dwellings Hertfordshire.
Rats eat on average one tenth of their body weight each day and must drink water daily in order to survive. They are considered omnivorous but if available, cereals seem preferred.
Rats will normally be found under kitchen units, in basements, under garden sheds, under decking, behind bath panels and in roof voids which can sometimes make treatment difficult.
Our pest control technician will initially talk through the problems you are experiencing and explain the treatment options. He will then carry out a thorough inspection of your premises prior to any treatment and assess the level and extent of the infestation.

Once the treatment is complete we will detail our work in an inspection report and leave this with you, our technician will then arrange a convenient time to carry out a follow up visit if required.

Your pest controller will assess the extent of the infestation and offer advice on the best treatment for rats. There are different methods for getting rid of rats and the method used will depend on the severity and location of the rat infestation.
Although they look big, rats can squeeze their body down to get through holes or gaps of around 2cm. Rats can also climb well so have the ability to climb external walls and guttering to access the roof.
When rats enter your property, they are usually looking food, shelter and safety. Once rats reach around 8 weeks, they are capable or reproduction so they may also be looking for somewhere to nest and breed.
Your pest controller will permanently remove rats and their nest. It cannot be guaranteed that other rats will not enter your property at a later date, but part of our treatment process will include finding and blocking entry holes.
