• Make sure you correctly identify the type of rodent prior to setting of mousetrap. Different species of rats & mice have differing habits. Dead rats & mice in inaccessible places can cause problems with decomposing odor and/ or blowflies. Determining the type of rodent can usually be worked out from their damage, odour, and droppings.

Scratching noises in walls, under the floor or under decking as rats scurry around looking for food.
Droppings – rats leave dark, tapered (sausage-shaped) droppings about 1 – 2cm long.
Distinctive smell – rats leave an ammonia-like smell that will be particularly strong in enclosed areas such as under cupboards, in loft spaces, garages, sheds or under decking.
Damage – rats have teeth that grow continuously and gnaw on wood, plastic and even mild steel to keep them trim. Rats can even cause fires by chewing through cables and wiring.
Ripped food packaging – rats will tear open all types of packaging to find food which may leave teeth marks.
Nests – rats build nests in warm, hidden places using shredded material such as newspaper, plastic and fabrics. Nests will often contain young rats.
Burrows – In gardens, rats will dig burrows especially in compost heaps or under sheds. They will also build nests under garden decking.
 
Rats also carry fleas, mites, and ticks and can cause acute allergic reactions.
 
Rats can also come up from sewers through broken pipes – it is important to ensure that all pipe-work is kept in good order.
