Brixham Rat Catchers and Pest Experts

Brixham Rat Catchers (TQ5): Observing rats in your garden or house can be rather a horrifying experience to go through although its not such a regular occurrence in Brixham in recent times, its definitely not unheard of. Rats tend to breed very quickly and will likely cause problems, particularly when they're seen in numbers. One sighting of a lone rat may not be all that much of a problem, but if you happen to be seeing them frequently you should get some specialist advice.

Pest Control Quotes

There are 2 types of rat which you might come across in Brixham, black rats and common (brown) rats. It's fairly unlikely that you will ever come across black rats, and if you have stumbled upon a rat fairly recently the chances are it'll have been one of the more commonplace brown rats (Rattus Norvegicus). Black rats (ship rats) were common at one time and were to blame for the spread of the Great Plague during the 17th Century, they are rather rare now, although where they are found they've got good hearing, are exceptional climbers, and the females can give birth to between twenty and one hundred baby rats every 12 months.

Rat Catchers Brixham TQ5

The longest of the two rats is the brown at approximately 9 inches, while the black only grows to between 5 and 7 inches. A lot of the damage and destruction attributable to brown rats is because to keep their incisor teeth from getting too long, they must continuously gnaw things. Rats especially choose to gnaw at timber.

Rats may cause a number of issues in homes and businesses throughout Brixham and they gnaw through insulation, wires, pipes and woodwork, transmit disease, leave behind droppings, and are generally troublesome. The local authority should be informed when there are incidences of rats. Or perhaps post a report to record incidences of rats and other pest problems on the .gov website HERE, which will be passed onto the relevant local authorities.

It isn't always by sight alone that you'll become aware of the presence of rats, their habits are often enough to give warning. Perhaps you could discover droppings on the floor or in cupboards, you may hear scratching noises coming from a wall, loft or floor, you could spot rat holes gnawed in floorboards or skirting boards or you could find a rat's nest hidden away somewhere.

Mole Problems

Rat catchers in Brixham are sometimes also contacted to deal with another issue, ie moles. Responsible for completely different problems to rats, moles are usually not quite so hated. It is outside in the garden where you're likely to have issues with moles, and lawns particularly are susceptible. Proof of their activity can clearly be seen in the shape of randomly scattered piles of earth on neatly manicured lawns. Using traps is undoubtedly the most acceptable and humane method to remove moles.

Mouse Problems Brixham

Whilst not quite as distressing as seeing rats scuttling around house or garden, having mice could be as much of a concern. While not as big, mice are still going to breed quickly, leave droppings, contaminate food and gnaw at stuff. The techniques for mouse infestations in Brixham are much the same as the ones employed for rats ie trapping and poisoning. Brixham rat catchers can also help you solve mouse infestations, so contact one or go to BARK and get the issue sorted.

Rat Bites

Whilst not that common in the UK, bites from rats do occur from time to time, and in certain circumstances they can have serious consequences. When pressured or cornered, rats can attack and bite, therefore if you come across one in a confined environment, it is wise to leave the creature an exit route so that it can escape.

These types of bites sometimes occur where rats are being kept as pets, and you're likely to be chancing it somewhat if you poke your hand in a rat's cage, no matter how tame it is. Rat bites are not necessarily dangerous, but must be avoided when possible, and they can turn nasty or even fatal if they develop into "rat bite fever". "Rat bite fever", if left untreated, can result in death, and has has a 10% mortality rate.

Symptoms of Rat Bite Fever - The signs and symptoms of "rat bite fever" (streptobacillary RBF) can include:

  • Muscle Pain
  • Joint Pain
  • Swelling or Redness
  • Vomiting
  • Rashes
  • Headache
  • Fever

If you get bitten by a rat you should wash the affected area immediately, apply an antibiotic cream, and cover it up with a clean bandage. Even if the bite does not appear that major, you ought to book an appointment to see your GP or head straight to the closest A&E department. If you haven't had a tetanus jab in the last five years, it might be sensible to get one of these as well - A&E will most likely do this as routine.
