Signs of Rat Infestation

Additionally, the presence of a foul smell is inevitable when numerous small creatures live, eat, breed, defecate, die, and decompose within your walls.

About Rats
Rats invade properties in search of shelter, warmth, and food. They are omnivorous, have a diverse diet and are especially drawn to scavenging for leftovers. Known for their fast breeding rate, a female rat can have up to twelve babies each year, with the offspring reaching breeding age in just three months. Unlike mice, rats can grow significantly larger if provided with sufficient amounts of food and shelter. These pests are adaptable, skilled climbers, and may bite when feeling threatened. Effective rat control involves cutting off their access to food and water, as well as sealing entry points to prevent infestations and reduce health hazards.
