A rat problem at home is not necessarily due to unsanitary living circumstances. By nature rats are nesting animals and burrowers and so if you have stacks of newspaper or wood stored this can make a perfect home and breeding area for rats as they are like to be hidden away.

Not only are these sorts of areas perfect for rat problems but if you also have a recycling bin which you fill with containers and other recyclable items you may encounter wild rats. Rats have extremely sharp teeth and could easily gnaw through a plastic bin to get to the contents inside and also home within the bins. This is one of the best homes for a rat as they can make a path between your garbage cans for food and your recycle cans for shelter.

Once a rat problem has become apparent within your home, you may have a breeding rat family. The most common breed of wild rat is the Norway rat which each have a litter of around ten each time, they are also known to reproduce several times a year.

Once born, the wild rats reach their maturity with eight weeks and then will begin breeding themselves. As you can see, after not so long you may have a very large rat problem. Many would recommend you call a professional exterminator when dealing with a large rat problem, this is because not many homeowners enjoy killing animals; let alone when there is more than about five.

Also, rodents are extremely clever and it will take time for the animal to accustom to the rat trap. It’s not as simple as them just taking the bait and getting caught. A professional exterminator would kill the whole population of rats causing the rat problem and not only that, would dispose of each one in a sanitary matter too meaning none of their infections can be passed onto you and your family.
