Rat Infestations

Pest Impact on Commercial Properties

Rat infestations can be highly damaging to businesses. In the food industry, restaurants, cafes, and storage facilities are at risk as rats are attracted to food sources and can contaminate supplies. Warehouses, factories, and retail stores may also suffer financial losses due to damaged goods and a tarnished reputation. Hotels and hospitality establishments can face negative reviews if rats are spotted by guests, impacting customer loyalty.

Pest Impact on Domestic Properties

Rats can be a nightmare for homeowners. They can cause structural damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wooden components. Rats also carry diseases and parasites that can be transmitted to humans and pets. Gardens and lawns can suffer as rats dig burrows and feed on plants. Inside homes, the presence of rats can trigger fear and anxiety among residents.
