Using proven pest control methods and professional-grade equipment, we eliminate rat infestations quickly and efficiently while providing expert advice to help prevent future problems.

Why Do Rats Enter Properties?

Rats are attracted to properties that provide easy access to food, water and shelter. They commonly enter buildings through damaged drains, gaps around pipes, broken air bricks, open doors and even small holes in walls or foundations.

Once inside, rats can establish nests in lofts, wall cavities, basements, garages, sheds, warehouses and agricultural buildings. They reproduce quickly, meaning a small problem can rapidly develop into a major infestation if left untreated.

Professional rat control not only removes existing rats but also helps identify how they gained access to your property.

Signs of a Rat Infestation

Common signs that you may have rats include:

• Large dark droppings
• Scratching or gnawing noises in walls, lofts or under floors
• Gnaw marks on wood, pipes, cables and food packaging
• Greasy smear marks along walls and skirting boards
• Burrows around gardens, sheds or buildings
• Strong unpleasant odours
• Footprints or tail marks in dusty areas
• Sightings of live or dead rats

If you notice any of these signs, early treatment is essential to prevent the infestation from becoming more severe.
