Detection
What are the signs of Rat Problems?
KillPest recommends taking immediate action if you notice any of these warning signs. Brown rats are naturally cautious and active mostly at night, but they usually leave clear physical evidence long before you spot one. Here are the main indicators that rats have invaded your property.
Droppings
Dark, tapered droppings (15–20mm) found near walls, cupboards, floorboards or food stores—much larger than mouse droppings.
Burrow Entrances
Holes around 70mm wide in soil, compost heaps or under sheds, decking and garden structures.
Gnaw Marks
Chewed cables, woodwork, pipes and packaging. Rats gnaw continuously, turning damaged wiring into a serious fire hazard.
Grease Smears
Dark, oily rub marks along skirting boards and walls left by rats following the same routes every night.
Night Time Noises
Scratching, scurrying and gnawing sounds in lofts, cavity walls or under floorboards after dark.
Tracks & Entry Points
Worn paths through grass and gaps around damaged drains, air bricks and pipework.

Fixing the Rat Issue
Cut Off Food Sources
Once an infestation is cleared, keeping food securely stored and cleaning up spills is vital to deter returning pests. Avoid leaving bird seed or pet food in garden spaces, as these are primary attractants for rodents.
