Rats are a common pest problem that can cause significant damage to your property and pose health risks to you and your family. One of the most common questions we receive at Bon Accord Pest Control is, \”Do rats dig holes in the ground?\” The short answer is yes, rats do dig holes in the ground, but the reasons behind their digging behavior may surprise you.

Rats are known for their burrowing behavior, which includes digging holes in the ground to create nests and access food sources. These holes, also known as burrows, can often be found near buildings, under decks, in gardens, and in other dark, secluded areas. Rats are excellent diggers and can create complex tunnel systems underground, making it difficult to locate and eradicate them.

Rats dig holes in the ground for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Nesting: Rats dig holes in the ground to create safe and secure nesting sites for their young. These nests are typically lined with soft materials like leaves, grass, and paper to provide warmth and comfort for the baby rats.

2. Food storage: Rats are hoarders and will dig holes in the ground to store food for later consumption. These food caches can include a variety of items, including grains, seeds, fruits, and even garbage.

3. Escape routes: Rats are prey animals and will dig holes in the ground to create escape routes in case they are threatened by predators or humans. These burrows can have multiple entrances and exits to ensure the rat\’s safety.

4. Travel: Rats are highly adaptable creatures and will dig holes in the ground to create travel routes between different locations. These tunnels can connect nesting sites, food sources, and water sources, allowing rats to move around without being seen.

If you suspect that rats are digging holes in your property, it is important to take action immediately to prevent further damage and potential health risks. Rats can carry diseases, contaminate food, and cause structural damage to buildings, making them a serious threat to your property and well-being.

We thought we had bedbugs but could find no evidence apart from what we thought were bites. I called Bon Accord and Gabriel was there within a couple of hours. He told us we had carpet beetle. Finding the evidence and showing us photos of the skin reaction which was exactly what we had. He advised and returned at a time to suit us to spray which was done thoroughly and efficiently. No sign of the little critters returning. Thank you Gabriel.

Top-notched pest control service!! Went above and beyond to eradicate the rats from our property. Gabriel even offered to further investigate the infestation issues for our neighbours. We found him to be extremely professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Gabriel to anyone in need of pest control.

Gabriel was absolutely wonderful, a real life saver when I found a mouse by my bed at 10pm. He came in less than an hour and was able to catch the mouse and put my mind at rest so I could go to sleep! Highly recommend, fab service and lovely people.

Gabriel turned up with an hours notice one evening and immediately identified the issued. He works efficiently and professionally throughout with timely follow-ups to ensure the problem was resolved. Once completed he was kind enough to continue to check in to see that the issue had gone. Having had Rentokil previously that spent two years doing very little this was a complete breathe of fresh air and solved the problem in less than two weeks. We are grateful and would highly recommend his services.

We were lucky to have found Bon Accord, they responded very fast to our request and Gabriel was very helpful and informative. He made several visits and did his absolute best until the mice problem we had was gone. Highly recommended.
