Rats are creatures that you most certainly do not want in your home or even in your garden. They can squeeze through fairly small holes and are more likely to come into your home in the winter when it is cold, and they are seeking warmth. If they get into your Newark home, they can live under floorboards, and if they get into your loft they can cause all sorts of problems.
Contrary to popular opinion, rats are quite fastidious about keeping themselves as clean as possible, even though they often live in conditions which are filthy. The problem is that they can carry several different types of disease, the worst of which is Weil’s disease which can prove fatal if it gets into your water. If you have a rat in your loft and it gets into the water tank, that can be a very serious problem, and you will most certainly require rat removal in Newark.
Another problem if a rat gets into your loft or under your floorboards – or even into your cavity wall - is that rats chew. Everything. That includes wood, but worse still, wiring. A rat chewing through your wiring will at best leave you without lights or power, and at worst can start a fire. That is another reason why, if you see or suspect you have rats anywhere in your home, you need urgent rat removal in Newark.
One thing you should not do is to use rat poison to kill them. This is because rat poison also kills pets and children and can make adults very sick. There are far too many preventable pet deaths being caused by people using rat poison irresponsibly.
You should also avoid attracting rats by filling up any holes through which they may find their way into your garden shed or home, and by using bird tables to feed birds rather than sprinkling bird seed on the lawn.
The best way to deal with rats, if you need rat removal in Newark, is to call in a professional pest control company.
