Information & Facts
Rat Control Services
Rats are destructive rodents that pose serious health and safety risks when they infest homes or businesses. They can spread disease, contaminate food, and cause extensive property damage by gnawing on wiring, insulation, and building materials. Rats are highly intelligent, reproduce quickly, and require professional control for effective, long-term removal.
Common Rat Problems
Rats are strong climbers and burrowers, allowing them to access properties through drains, roofs, walls, and foundations. They are often found in lofts, basements, kitchens, garages, and commercial storage areas.
Common signs of a rat infestation include:
- Large droppings found along walls or in cupboards
- Scratching, gnawing, or scurrying noises, especially at night
- Burrows near foundations, sheds, or gardens
- Grease marks or rub marks along walls and entry points
Why Rats Enter Buildings
Rats are attracted to:
- Accessible food sources and waste
- Warm, hidden nesting areas
- Poorly sealed drains, vents, and entry points
- Cluttered outdoor areas and dense vegetation
Once inside, rats can quickly establish nests and spread throughout a property.
Why Professional Rat Control Is Essential
DIY traps and poisons rarely resolve rat infestations and may pose risks to people, pets, and wildlife. Professional rat control targets the infestation at its source and includes prevention to stop future activity.
