How We Deal With Rat Infestations

Integrated Rat Control:

We don’t just lay traps or bait and walk away. Our rat control service involves:

  • Full site inspection
  • Identification of entry points and attractants
  • Trapping and/or baiting
  • Proofing advice to help stop future infestations
  • Ongoing monitoring for commercial clients

Our targeted approach ensures we eliminate the rats and reduce the risk of future infestations.

Why Professional Rat Control Matters

Rats are intelligent and highly adaptable rodents. DIY treatments often fail and can make rats bait shy or trap wary, making professional control much harder later.

UK rat species:

  • Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) – Common in gardens, sewers, lofts and commercial buildings.
  • The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) is usually found around docks and ports, but we haven’t encountered any around Kent ourselves!

The Risks of Rat Infestations:

  • Health risks: Rats carry serious diseases like Weil’s Disease (Leptospirosis) and Salmonella.
  • Property damage: Rats gnaw constantly, often causing damage to electrical wiring, pipes, and structural timbers.
  • Fire risk: Chewed electrical cables are a well-documented cause of house fires.
  • Food contamination: Particularly a concern in hospitality and food businesses.

Signs You May Have Rats:

  • Scratching or banging noises (especially at night, in lofts or cavity walls)
  • Chewed cables, pipes, or woodwork
  • Rat droppings – dark, sausage-shaped, about 1-2cm long
  • Urine smells or greasy smear marks along regular runs
  • Burrows in gardens (near sheds, decking, compost bins)
  • Disturbed insulation or shredded nesting material
