    The Real Dangers of Rats in the Home

    Rats can cause far more than just a fright; they’re a genuine threat to both your health and your property. In homes, we’ve seen rats chew through cables, pipes, and even structural woodwork. Aside from the physical damage, rats carry dangerous diseases like Weil’s disease, salmonella, and leptospirosis, which can spread via their droppings, urine, or saliva.

    They’re also highly reproductive. If left alone, a small issue can turn into a serious infestation in just a few weeks.

    Our Rat Removal Process in Homes

    Every property is different, and so is every infestation. That’s why we take a thorough approach to rat control in domestic settings:

    Facts About Rats You Should Know

    • Rats can squeeze through holes as small as 15mm—about the size of a 50p coin.
    • A single breeding pair can produce up to 2,000 young in a year.
    • They gnaw constantly, often damaging wires, plumbing, and insulation.
    • Rats are great climbers and swimmers, making lofts, basements, and drains prime nesting spots.

    Understanding Rat Behaviour

    The most common rats we see in Nottingham homes are brown rats (Rattus norvegicus). These large rodents can grow up to 40cm long (including the tail) and are active mostly at night. They’re highly adaptable and can survive in lofts, walls, gardens, and even inside kitchen units.

    They live in groups and breed quickly. That’s why early action is essential—the longer you leave it, the bigger the problem becomes.

    Tips to Keep Rats Out of Your Home

    Want to avoid future rat problems? Here’s what we recommend:

    • Block Access Points: Check and seal gaps around pipes, vents, roof tiles, and drains.
    • Keep Food Sealed: Store dry goods in airtight containers because rats have a sharp nose for snacks.
    • Fix Leaks: Eliminate water sources like dripping taps or leaky pipes.
    • Tidy the Garden: Cut back overgrowth and avoid stacking wood or rubbish against your home.
    • Act Early: Call for help at the first signs – droppings, smells, or scratching sounds.
