Sewer Rats in Delta

 Sewer rats are a growing problem across the Lower Mainland, particularly in Delta and surrounding communities. Aging sewer infrastructure, dense housing, and accessible food sources have contributed to increased rat activity in residential and commercial properties.

The primary species involved is the Brown rat (Norway rat). These rodents live in sewer systems and can enter homes through damaged pipes, drain lines, and foundation gaps. They are strong swimmers, reproduce rapidly, and can cause serious structural and health concerns.

Why Sewer Rats Are a Serious Issue

• Structural damage: Rats chew through pipes, wood, insulation, and electrical wiring.

• Health risks: Droppings and urine contaminate surfaces and stored food.

• Rapid spread: Small infestations can quickly expand without professional intervention.

Common Signs

• Scratching noises in walls or ceilings

• Droppings in basements or crawl spaces

• Gnaw marks on pipes or wiring

• Burrows near foundations

• Strong odors near drains
