Pest Control Kent Rats
Bull Sized Rat Found!
Thankfully that was over 3 million years ago.
Did you know that the biggest rat to walk this earth was the size of a bull?
What is the Largest Rodent to be Found Today?
The largest rodent we have on this earth today is called the Capybara. This rodent can weigh up to 168Ib (12 stone). In layman’s terms, it is the size of a large sheep. The Capybara is usually found in South America.
You need not worry then, if you live in Ashford, Kent!
WRONG!
Is it a Cat or a Rat?
Kent pest control have noticed that over the past year there has been an upsurge of what they like to call monster, super, humongous, fat rats. Call them what you like, it won’t change the fact that these rodents are mammoth. They should probably be named mega rats as they definitely are astronomically imposing. They are not only expanding in weight, but are on the increase ALL OVER THE UK, including England’s beautiful garden city of Kent. Whether you are in Ashford or Glasgow, the UK is not immune to these monster rats. One mega rat that was over 2ft long was caught and killed in Gravesend, Kent and another in Cornwall.
The super-sized rat could escalate in towns all over Kent like Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Margate and Ramsgate, if not kept in check.
Kent pest control are concerned, as they fear that this worrying trend will only get worse if we don’t do something about it, as the problem has already travelled across Europe and Ireland.
Why Are Rodents On The Increase?
One reason is because the householder and businessman are becoming lapse.
Not so Cute as they look
It’s absolutely terrifying to think that these cute looking rats are turning into enormous monsters. (No rat is really cute by the way, don’t let those whiskers deceive you). They are a carrier of disease. If you were to come face to face with a 6ft rat you wouldn’t think it so cute now would you? It is wise to have the same opinion for the smaller versions too.
Resistant to Poison
Because the mega rats are so big they have become immune to the poison, so pest control Kent are waiting on the EU to approve a stronger poison to deal with this growing problem.
What Can We Do?
If your business is located on an industrial site and you close shop for a few weeks for the Christmas or Easter break, be sure to clean up outside as well as inside, otherwise you’ll find they have set up home by the time you come back. Rats love to gnaw their way through everything. That includes your computer wiring, telephones, desks, even the coffee machines. You don’t want to come back to a big shock.
Be sure to tell your staff to pick up all their litter.
In the home make sure that you don’t leave anything lying around that could attract rats, namely food, crumbs, etc. I know it’s easier said than done and if we live nearby water it may be inevitable that the odd rat is going to invite himself to tea, but we can try to take all the preventative measures possible.
If you don’t want a rat infestation you need to call a professional company like pest control Kent before you get an infestation, otherwise Mr Rat will be inviting all his friends and family to the feast.
The rat loves a cosy house, so keep your eyes peeled as they are always nearby, ready to scurry in to your home as soon as it gets cold.
