Rat & Rodent Infestation FAQs
Rats and mice belong to the rodent family and share similar physical characteristics. Rodents, mammals of the order Rodentia, are identified by a unique feature: a single pair of continually growing incisors in both their upper and lower jaws.
In terms of size, mice possess small bodies accompanied by long, slender, hairy tails. In contrast, rats are considerably larger, with bodies that can reach up to 27cm in length! Rat tails, shorter and thicker than those of mice, lack hair.
Regarding coloration, mice typically exhibit light brown or grey fur, while rats tend to have darker hues.
When it comes to water requirements, rats rely on access to water sources for survival. Conversely, mice can endure without water for up to a month, unlike their rat counterparts.
Rat infestations can escalate quickly!
Typically, a female rat can have six litters per year, with each litter consisting of around twelve baby rats. However, in practice, most litters have between five to pups. These young rodents reach sexual maturity in just four to five weeks, enabling the population to surge from two to potentially twelve-fifty within a year. This creates the potential for even more rapid and significant growth.
Brown Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans, typically through their urine. These diseases include Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii, and Hantavirus.
There are a number of legal obligations you will need to fulfill to maintain a pest-free environment at your business and to protect public health.
The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 is legislation in the United Kingdom that imposes a duty on local authorities to control mice and rats. The legislation grants powers to local authorities to compel landowners and/or occupiers to take action to keep land free from rats and mice.
In addition, The Food Safety Act 1990 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It imposes a statutory obligation to treat food intended for human consumption in a pest-free, controlled, and managed way.
Environmental Health Officers or General Enforcement Officers can issue enforcement notices to business owners who do not have adequate pest management procedures in place.
