Danger Signs

Rats are usually nocturnal, so the typical signs to watch out for are:

• Rat droppings (sausage shaped approx. 1 -2 cm long).
• Smears - grease marks from the rats bodies as they repeatedly brush up against objects.
• Damaged stock and damage to the fabric of premises.
• Nesting material — shredded insulation, cardboard, wood, plastics etc.
• Distinctive smell - rats leave an ammonia-like smell, that is particularly strong in enclosed areas.

Potential Harm

• Rats are known to spread infections such as Salmonella, Hantavirus and Weil's disease.
• Damage to stock and buildings. Rats sharp teeth can gnaw through cables, plastic, wooden doors and even mild steel.
• Contamination of foodstuffs and goods. On the rats underside, wet fur soaked in urine can transmit diseases to work surfaces, table tops or anywhere the rats have climbed.

Business Consequences

• Damage — to goods, foodstuffs and your health and hygiene reputation. Any Pest Control issues will have a negative effect on your Scores on the Doors food hygiene rating.
• Alarm — immediate loss of customer and employee trust.
• Cost — can be considerable. Temporary business closure may be necessary.
• Legal — failure to comply with legislation, including Health and Safety at Work etc. Act (1974) and Food Safety Act (1990).
