Rats are medium-sized, long-tailed rodents belonging to the superfamily Muroidea, with two main types of concern in the UK: the Brown Rat and the Black Rat. Although these creatures are mostly nocturnal and not often seen, their presence can be detected through various signs. One of the most noticeable indicators is their droppings; Brown rat droppings are rectangular with blunt ends and typically found in small groups, while the pointed, sausage-shaped droppings of Black rats are more scattered. A single rat can produce around 40 droppings each day, and moist, dark droppings suggest an active infestation.
Another sign to listen for is scratching noises, particularly from Black rats, which are excellent climbers and often invade roofs and attics. In contrast, Brown rats can be identified by chattering or grinding sounds as they move beneath decking and floorboards. Footprints and tail swipes can also provide evidence of rats, particularly visible in muddy or dusty areas; their four-toed front and five-toed back footprints leave distinct marks that can be illuminated with a flashlight aimed at a low angle. Additionally, rats tend to leave dark grey smears on surfaces where they frequently rub their fur.
Rats create consistent running tracks along paths they use daily, which may appear as greasy lines along walls and on grass. They also dig burrows, which are holes ranging from one to four inches wide with smooth edges; Brown rats, in particular, excavate complex tunnel systems whose entrance holes measure between 70 and 120mm in diameter. Nests from Black rats can be located in dark, less-frequented areas such as lofts and under floorboards. Lastly, gnawing marks on electrical cables, wooden fixtures, and plastic garbage cans indicate their presence, characterized by large and rough teeth marks.
