Rats develop a buildup of grease and dirt in their fur. As a result, when the rats brush against a surface they will leave a smear mark. However, smear marks are long lasting. Therefore, these marks are not always reliable indicators of a current infestation. Additionally, however, there was a very strong smell of rat urine.

Furthermore, once the rats were in the wall cavity they gained to access to the kitchen and the bathroom. As a result, the rat control incident became progressively more serious.
