5 Signs You Have a Rat Infestation in Your Home

Rat activity is rarely solved properly by treating the visible signs alone. The important work is finding how rats are getting in, where they are travelling and whether the source is linked to drains, external gaps, loft spaces or nearby harbourage.

Common signs of rat activity

Customers often notice scratching at night, larger dark droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed insulation, smell or movement around kitchens and lofts. If signs keep returning after DIY products, the entry route has usually not been dealt with.

Why source tracing matters

Riddex checks the likely routes, treats active pressure and gives practical proofing advice so the property is not left relying on short-term baiting alone.
