Rats in drains and sewers | |
A structurally sound sewer system provides few opportunities for rats to gain access to connected properties, however a large proportion of modern day systems are not perfectly sound and rats can find their way to the surface through defects in the system. There is strong evidence linking more than 50% of surface infestations to drainage defects and this figure is likely to be higher in more urban areas. Exterminating rats from sewers is arguably more difficult than controlling them at ground level. In order to be successful, it is imperative that we utilise what is known about rat bionomics and behaviour traits. One of the first questions people ask themselves when faced with an infestation is “why have I suddenly got rats? I’ve never had them before”. A lesser-known fact about rats is that they often migrate to different areas for a number of reasons. This could be because of overpopulation and food shortages, flooding or simply because of a disturbance that makes them feel uncomfortable. Rats are extremely intelligent creatures and will do what it takes to survive. They are wary of danger and have neophobic tendencies which is why it can take a substantial amount of time to eradicate them from any given area. Rats become a hazard in premises when they live in the drains and make visits to the surface to forage for food. They cleverly negotiate badly designed watertraps and when living in sewers, have the ability to cause structural damage as they make holes in surrounding earth and eventually gain access via faulty joints or perished brickwork. Complete elimination from sewers is often unattainable, however it’s important to put control in place to avoid your property being overrun. It is also worth remembering that you are at a high risk of rat borne diseases such as leptospirosis so swift control is imperative. | |
