Signs You Have a Rat Problem

Rats are secretive animals that are most active at night, so an infestation can be well-established before you see a rat in daylight. Look out for these warning signs:

Droppings (dark, tapered, 1–2cm long)
Gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring
Scratching or scurrying noises at night
Burrows in garden soil or under decking
Smear marks along walls and skirting boards
Nests made from shredded material
Footprints or tail drag marks in dusty areas
Damaged food stores or chewed containers

Why You Must Act Quickly

A single pair of rats can produce up to 2,000 descendants in a year. Rats also carry Leptospirosis (Weil's disease), Salmonella, and Hantavirus, and cause significant structural damage through gnawing — including to electrical wiring, which is a serious fire risk. The longer an infestation is left, the harder and more expensive it becomes to resolve.

Our Rat Control Process

1

Survey & Assessment

Our technician carries out a thorough inspection of your property, identifying entry points, harbourage areas, and the extent of the infestation. Where required, our K9 rat detection dog can locate hidden activity that conventional inspection would miss.

2

Targeted Treatment

We use a combination of tamper-resistant bait stations, trapping, and tracking dust to eliminate the rat population. All products used are approved for use in the UK and applied in strict accordance with the CRRU Code of Practice.

3

Proofing & Prevention

Once the infestation is resolved, we identify and seal all entry points to prevent re-infestation. This may include fitting door brushes, sealing gaps around pipes, and repairing damaged air bricks or ventilation covers.

4

Follow-Up Visits

We include follow-up visits as part of our treatment programme to check bait uptake, remove dead rodents, and confirm the infestation has been fully resolved. We don't consider the job done until you're completely clear.
