Every year, homes face a rat invasion depending on the current season. These critters are major vectors of disease. Therefore, their presence must be detected as soon as possible in order to eliminate them. One of the methods used to detect the presence of rats in a dwelling is the particular noise that these rodents produce. DELTA Extermination reveals here the peculiarities of the noises that rats make.
Peculiarities of the noises made by rats
When you hear noises coming from the basement, attic or even the roof of your house, you need to worry about it. Indeed, there is a good chance that the ones responsible for these noises are rodents. You’re probably dealing with a rat infestation in your home. Indeed, these animals generate particular noises that characterize their small steps. They also make scratching noises.
Sounds are very important during the nights, because this is when these rodents are most active. This noise nuisance can prevent you from sleeping normally. Precautions must then be taken. Do not hesitate to call DELTA Extermination as soon as you hear a noise characteristic of the presence of rats in the house.
Depending on the origin of the noises, it is possible to recognize the breed of rodent that is responsible for it. Indeed, brown rats are not good at climbing. So, they most often infest the cellars and produce noise. If the noises come from your attic, there is a good chance that they are made by black rats.
However, do not at the slightest sound coming from your cellar or attic conclude that it is produced by rodents. Pigeons can also settle there. You will recognize them by their flapping of wings, cooing and grunts. If there are buzzing in these places of the house, it means that the dwelling is invaded by wasps. The latter must be eliminated as soon as possible. We will be happy to help you exterminate them if you live in Montreal or its outskirts.

Apart from the noise they cause you, rats mark their presence through multiple signs. The most common is the droppings they leave in places in the home. You will find them in every corner of your home. You will recognize these rat droppings by their characteristic dark color. They are also long.
