Help with rats in your home or business

Scratching in a loft, droppings behind kitchen units, burrows near gullies and repeat activity can all indicate a rat problem. We carry out a methodical inspection of the affected areas and likely access routes before recommending the appropriate control plan.

What the service can include

  • Internal and external property inspection
  • Checks of lofts, kitchens, cavities and accessible drains
  • Professional trapping and monitoring
  • Identification and sealing of suitable entry points
  • CCTV drain surveys where drainage may be involved
  • Installation of one-way rat valves to offer long-term protection
  • Clear follow-up and prevention advice

Why rat problems can return

Many pest control companies simply offer rodenticide treatments and trapping. These measures may reduce activity, but rats can return when the underlying access route has not been found and resolved. Instead, we offer a full property inspection to locate entry points, carry out CCTV drain surveys, install one-way rat valves in drains and arrange drainage repairs where required. This ensures we do more than simply place down rodenticide.

Many persistent rat infestations are linked to the drainage system, allowing rats to enter beneath or inside a property without the occupants knowing. That is why we offer drain surveys and work with drainage specialists to ensure any necessary repairs are carried out correctly, helping to provide effective, long-term protection for your property.
