Rats Control
Professional rat extermination services to protect your property from damage and disease.
Understanding the Problem
The Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) is the most common rat found in the UK. They are highly adaptable and can cause significant issues when they infest properties.
Rats pose a serious health risk, carrying diseases like Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonella. They also cause structural damage by gnawing on wood, pipes, and electrical cables, creating a fire hazard.
Common Signs of Infestation
Early detection is key. Look out for these common signs of a rat infestation:
Droppings (dark, spindle-shaped, about 1-2 cm long).
Smear marks or rub marks along skirting boards and walls.
Scratching or grinding noises, especially at night.
Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or cables.
Burrows or nests in compost heaps, under decking, or in sheds.
A distinctive, musky odor in enclosed spaces like lofts or kitchens.
Why Professional Extermination is Important
While DIY methods exist, a professional service is crucial for complete and safe eradication. Here's why:
