Rats: Risks, Behavior & Control
Rats are more than just unwanted guests. In this guide, learn how to identify signs of infestation, understand rat behavior, and discover effective ways to keep them out for good
Rats are smart little creatures — but not the kind you want as houseguests. Once they find food, water, and a cozy spot to hide, they can settle in quickly and become a big problem.
Let’s walk you through how rats behave, what risks they bring, and how you can keep them away from your home.


🧠 Behavior - What Are They Up To ?
Night Owls: Rats are most active at night — you might hear them scurrying in the ceiling or walls.
Always Chewing: Their teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw on wood, wires, pipes — almost anything!
Nest Builders: They love hidden, quiet places like ceiling, under the sink, or behind appliances.
🐀 Life Cycle – Why They Multiply So Fast ?
Fast Breeders: One female can have up to 6 litters per year, with 6–12 babies each time!
Quick Growth: Baby rats grow fast — they can start breeding in just 5 weeks.
- That’s how one or two rats can turn into a full-blown infestation in no time.


Health Hazards: Rats can spread diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus through urine and droppings.
Fire Risk: Their chewing can damage electrical wiring, increasing the chance of short circuits or fires.
Food Contamination: They’re not clean animals — anything they touch is no longer safe to eat.

⚠️ Risks of a Rat Infestation
🛡️ How to Keep Rats Away




Seal Gaps: Close off entry points around pipes, drains, and walls using cement or other form of sealing materials.
Keep It Clean: Don’t leave food out and store waste in sealed bins. Rats are attracted to food scent.
Fix Leaks: Fix any leaks of pipes or taps as rats are drawn to water sources too.
Declutter: Less clutter means fewer places for them to hide.
Food Storage: Store food in airtight containers.
Rubbish: Keep your kitchen clean and take out the trash regularly.
