Why rats are dangerous in warehouses and how to effectively eliminate them

Rats are one of the most dangerous pests, especially in warehouses where food or raw materials are stored.
Not only do they destroy supplies, they also pose a serious health threat – spreading diseases, contaminating surfaces, and leaving behind feces that can cause infections.

Why do rats choose warehouses?

  • A warm environment – ​​especially in winter when it is cold outside;

  • An abundance of food – grains, packaging, crumbs or garbage;

  • Few distractions – quiet corners, boxes, shelves and ventilation holes.

Just one female can produce hundreds of offspring per year, so even a small infestation quickly becomes a serious problem.

Dangers posed by rats:

  • Infected food and stored goods;

  • Damage to wires, pipes and insulation;

  • Diseases transmitted to humans (e.g. leptospirosis);

  • Financial losses due to damaged production or equipment.

How to recognize their presence:

  • Noises or squeaks at night;

  • Bite marks on packages or wires;

  • Traces in dust, feces or urine stains;

  • Unpleasant, specific smell.

How to protect yourself from rats:

  1. Keep storage areas clean and closed.

  2. Seal the entrances – even a 1 cm gap can become a passageway.

  3. Use traps or ultrasonic repellers.

  4. Contact Dezis.lt – professional pest control will ensure long-term results.
