Chilwell Rat Catchers (NG9): Whilst it's not all that commonplace in these modern times, spotting rats in your house or garden in Chilwell is not a pleasant thing to go through. One rat sighting should not be too much of a cause for concern, however, if you observe the presence of rats more regularly or spot more than one you could potentially be in trouble as they reproduce so fast.
There are two species of rat which you might come across in Chilwell, brown (common) rats and black rats. Its fairly improbable that you will ever see black rats, and if you've seen a rat just recently the chances are it will have been the more commonplace brown rat (Rattus Norvegicus). Black rats (or ship rats) were once common and were to blame for the spread of the Great Plague, they are quite rare nowadays, although where they are seen they've got an acute sense of hearing, are superb climbers, and the females can give birth to between 20 and 100 offspring every 12 months.
The black rat at 5-7 inches long, is a bit smaller than the brown, which reaches a length of up to about 9" and weighs in at close to half a kilo. To stop their teeth from growing too long, brown rats continually gnaw at things, which can cause damage. Their interest is often targeting items made out of timber. Where rats have been living for quite a while, their ongoing gnawing activity can leave obvious signs of damage in different areas around your home and property.
In homes and business premises in and around Chilwell, rats can be responsible for numerous problems and issues by gnawing their way through insulation, timber, pipes and electrical cables, as well as potentially transmitting disease and depositing droppings. The local authorities ought to be informed whenever rats are observed. Another way to do this might be to report rat and pest problems online through the .gov website, with the relevant page available HERE. A relatively fairly small rat problem can become something that's far more challenging to sort out if the issue isn't addressed promptly.
You do not need to actually observe rats moving around with your own two eyes to realise that they are in the immediate area, since they frequently produce various signs of their activity that may give away their presence. It could be that you could discover droppings on floors or in cupboards, you might find a rat's nest in some out of the way location, you could hear noises coming from a wall, loft or floor or you could come across rat holes chewed into skirtings or floorboards.
If you do not wish to wait around for the local authorities to handle your problem you could always bring in local Chilwell pest controller or rat catcher who will be skilled in the field of pest removal. In the world today rat catchers commonly come under the category of pest control, and pest elimination experts don't only control rats but also moles, cockroaches, wasps, bedbugs, fleas, mice and many more types of household and garden pests.

Rat Poisons
What some may consider a distasteful way of eliminating rats is by laying poison. Rats will die several days after eating a poisoned bait, generally wheat. When placed in the optimal position within a rat infested area, poison can quite swiftly kill a large population of rats. In general brodifacoum, difenacoum or bromadioline are the poisons used. Pets and birds can also be harmed by eating rat poison, so be mindful. Rat poison brands available in the UK include the likes of: Rentokil, Propest, RatKil, Pest Expert, Roshield and Elixir Gardens.

However, unless you're aware of what you are at, it is possibly a good idea to use an experienced rat exterminator, who will have dealt with this issue hundreds if not thousands of times previously, and will know automatically what the preferred solution is.
