Understanding Rat Problems

Signs You Have A Rat Problem

1
Strange Noises at Night
Scratching, scurrying or squeaking sounds in walls, ceilings or under floorboards, especially after dark.
2
Droppings & Track Marks
Small, dark droppings near skirting boards, under sinks or in cupboards; greasy marks along walls.
3
Gnawed Materials
Evidence of chewing on wood, plastic, cables and food packaging, especially low to the ground.

Why Professional Control Matters

Health Risks
Rats can spread serious diseases including Weil's disease, Salmonella, and E. coli through their urine, droppings, and the parasites they carry.
Property Damage
Rats' teeth never stop growing, causing them to constantly gnaw on structures, pipes, and electrical wiring, potentially causing floods, fires, and expensive structural damage.
Why DIY Methods Often Fail
Rats are highly intelligent creatures that quickly adapt to amateur control methods. Store-bought traps and poisons often fail to address hidden populations and the root causes of infestations, leading to recurring problems.
How Our Professionals Make the Difference
Our targeted approach combines thorough inspection, proper identification of entry points, and environmentally responsible treatments that protect your family, pets, and wildlife while delivering effective, long-term results.
