At SHG Pest Control we pride ourselves on our comprehensive rodent control service.
Brown Rat
Also known as the Norway rat, Common rat or Sewer rat. It is a worldwide pest of industrial, commercial and domestic premises. It can be a major pest on some farms, where warmth, food and a source of water are easily found. Like the House mouse, this animal is nocturnal, but the Brown rat is very wary of new objects and is said to be neophobic (fear new things). A single Brown rat may produce up to 40 droppings in 24 hours so the contamination potential of these animals is high.
Brown rats are capable of carrying several diseases, amongst which, in the UK, are Salmonella food poisoning and Weils disease (Ieptospiral jaundice). |

Black Rat
Also know as the Ship rat or Roof rat. Again, this animal is nocturnal as with the other species of pest rodents. It can be found worldwide but distribution in the UK is very limited and is normally restricted to areas around large ports. It is a major pest of ships.
This rat was responsible for spreading (via fleas) the Bubonic Plague throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. Fortunately in the UK, this disease does not exist, but can still be found, to some degree, in many other countries around the world.

Harborages are usually sub-floor and loft areas, therefore bait laid in these areas should have little likelihood of being accessed by humans and non-target animals. If at all possible, we use the larger tamper-resistant rat bait boxes. Important considerations in domestic rat infestations are how the rats gained access to the building. Proofing may well be required. If no proofing faults are found then a drain/sewer fault needs to be explored and rectified. Adjacent premises should also be checked for proofing and/or drain faults. Remember that rats are reluctant to nest indoors.
The usual follow-up time after the initial baiting programme has been established is seven to ten working days, although some situations may require daily visits.

| Rats are capable of carrying Salmonella, food poisoning and Weils disease (leptospiral jaundice). |
| The average mouse sheds 70 droppings in 24 hours and urinates frequently to mark its territory. |
| Cockroaches taint food with an obnoxious smell and may be carriers of various diseases, including serious food poisoning. |
| Bedbugs generally emerge to feed at night and their bite can cause severe local irritation. They also produce a characteristic unpleasant smell. |
| Adult fleas feed on blood. Their bites can cause intense irritation around the central bright red spot. |
| Pigeons can transmit Salmonella food poisoning, ornithosis and fowl pest. |
| Damage caused by droppings produced at starling roosts can be tremendous, and the noise and smell are overpowering |
