Rat Control
Fast, discreet rat removal that actually stops them coming back
Rats are powerful, intelligent rodents that move into homes and businesses wherever there is food, water and shelter. A single sighting usually means more are nesting nearby. Our qualified technicians find the harbourage, block the entry points and clear the colony, not just the rat you happened to see.
- Qualified technicians
- Same-day appointments
- Child & pet-safe methods
- Treats the source, not the symptom
Signs of a rat problem
- Dark, tapered droppings around 9-14mm, often clustered near food sources
- Gnaw marks on cables, skirting, packaging and even soft brickwork
- Scratching or scurrying in walls, lofts and under floorboards at night
- Greasy 'smear marks' along skirting and pipe runs where rats travel
- A distinctive stale, ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces
The risks of leaving rats untreated
- Carriers of Leptospirosis (Weil's disease), Salmonella and other pathogens
- Gnawed wiring is a genuine and common cause of house fires
- Rapid breeding means a small problem becomes an infestation in weeks
How we treat rats
Full internal and external survey to map runs, nesting sites and entry points
Targeted control using sealed bait stations or rapid-knockdown trapping
Proofing of gaps, drains and brickwork so the colony cannot re-establish
Follow-up visit to confirm activity has stopped and the site stays clear
Preventing rats coming back
- Seal gaps larger than 10mm around pipes, vents and doorways
- Keep food in sealed containers and clear fallen bird seed and pet food
- Keep drain covers intact and bin lids closed
When you will see them
Rat activity indoors peaks from autumn into winter as they move inside for warmth, though urban populations stay active year-round.
