One of the creatures that you do not want around your home, or even nearby, is a rat. If you see a rat, you probably have several, and unfortunately, they can carry several different types of diseases, including Weil’s disease which is a severe form of leptospirosis and in rare cases can be fatal.
Contrary to popular opinion, rats do try to keep themselves as clean as they can, but unfortunately, they often choose to live and breed in places that are squalid conditions. Rats can get into your home quite easily, and they can find their way under floorboards, into cavity walls, and into your loft. Along with mice, rats have teeth which grow continually throughout their lives and the only way they can keep them down is by chewing things. They will chew anything at all that will help reduce the length of their teeth, and that includes electrical wiring!
That means that if you get rats under your floorboards or in your loft they could be happily chewing away at your wiring and could indeed kill themselves. However, they could also kill you, because that behaviour could very easily start a fire which could burn your home down.
Another problem is your water tank. It is not unknown for a rat to fall into a water tank and drown. OK, so you now have a dead rat – in your water tank! The implications of that can be horrific. You can have all sorts of germs coming out of your taps into your handbasin and bath! It actually doesn’t bear thinking about.
One very good way to get rid of rats is to use rat poison in Grantham. However, you need to be very careful because if you don’t use it with caution you could easily end up poisoning your cat, dog, birds, squirrels, and more, who might find it and think that they have located a tasty treat.
This is why, if you have rats, you should call in a professional pest control company who can use rat poison in Grantham in such a way that it is carefully located and will only kill the rats, and not your pets.
