Common Signs of Rat Activity

  • Gnaw Marks

    Rats like to gnaw their way through most materials, creating access points and collecting materials for nests.

    Check around food and bin areas if you think you may have spotted or heard gnawing, as these spots can harbour rat activity.

  • Droppings

    Common rat droppings look dark brown or black, roughly around 12-18mm in length. Often shiny when freshly laid.

    Droppings often smell strong and musty, a giveaway if you can’t necessarily spot the droppings themselves.

  • Smear Marks 

    These dark greasy stains along skirting boards, entry points & other surfaces are common signs of a rat problem. 

    This is a collection of dirt and grime that collects in the rats fur over time.

  • Strong Odours

    Rats leave a potent, ammonia-like smell in areas frequently visited or nested in, due to a combination of urine and faeces.

    The smell of a dead rat is putrid and often compared to the stench of rotting cabbage which can last for weeks.

Emergency Rat Removal Central London
