Although rats are prevalent in sewers, they generally cause us little trouble. We know they live beneath the streets of our cities, and they are better off staying there. However, when these rodents leave their natural habitat, they can become a threat to our homes and our health.
The Norway rat is the most prevalent species in the greater Montreal area. Often brownish in color, these rats are larger than mice and can weigh up to 0.5 kg (1 lb). Their impressive size and adaptability make them formidable pests in urban environments.
How do these rodents manage to infiltrate our homes? Most of the time, they succeed in entering through damaged or broken plumbing conduits. These openings provide them easy access to the inside of buildings, where they find food and shelter to reproduce.
Several clues can reveal the presence of rats in your home. At night, you may hear noises in the walls resembling scurrying or scratching. You may also find gnawed or chewed objects, such as damaged food packaging. The presence of cylindrical droppings, much larger than those of mice (which resemble grains of rice), also confirms an infestation.
Rats reproduce quickly and are often carriers of diseases, posing a serious risk to your health and that of your loved ones. They can contaminate food, spread bacteria, and damage your home's structures by gnawing on wood and electrical cables. It is therefore crucial to act without hesitation at the first signs of an infestation to prevent the situation from worsening.
