Rats however
do have an infestation problem of their own,
namely fleas, which can also cause health
problems and be a separate issue to deal with
altogether. On top of the afore mentioned
associated problems there is also the damage
that they cause in their intrusion to our homes
or places of work, they can chew through
electrical wiring causing hundreds and in some
cases thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Gnawing or chewing through the bases of doors to
make larger access points is a very costly and
ugly problem to have to deal with not to mention
damage to electrical wiring in your property,
which can cause no end of problems.
Rat
Droppings are usually Black or Brown in colour
dependant on diet and 20 mm in length.
