Rat Control Treatment
Rats can be very persistent — even gnawing through metal to get in — and if they do gain access into your premises, they can spread diseases, cause damage, and contaminate food.
Rats can cause other problems, so it’s vital to eliminate a rat infestation quickly as rats can:
- Damage property with constant gnawing; rats can damage insulation, pipes, doors, floorboards, and will also shred soft materials for nesting.
- They also contaminate foodstuffs as pathogens in rat’s urine and droppings can transmit diseases such as Weil’s disease (Leptospirosis), Rat bite fever, and Salmonellosis.
Common types in India
- House Rat (Roof Rat) - Often nests in roofs and upper areas; agile and good climbers.
-
Norway Rat (Sewer Rat) - Larger and more aggressive; usually found in basements, drains, and sewers.
-
Bandicoot Rat - Common in urban India; large burrowing rat that causes major structural damage.
-
Lesser Bandicoot - Smaller but equally destructive; active at night and hard to detect.
Rats pose serious health and safety risks through the spread of disease, property
damage, and food contamination.
