Of the two species of rat that you may find in the UK it is the common rat AKA brown rat/sewer rat, or more correctly Rattus norvegicus, that is the major pest species. The rats ability to survive under the most stressing of conditions is well known, as is its ability to successfully populate areas.

Unlike small mouse infestations we never recommend anyone ‘having a go’ at treating their rat problem. Rats are prolific carriers and spreaders of diseases, they cause significant damage to goods by both chewing them and secondly by urinating and defecating on them, they also have the ability to perpetrate significant damage to structures e.g. wooden rafters and beams, doors and frames, electrical wires and cabling, thatched roofs, dustbins

If you own a premise where the public frequent the very sighting if a rat is often enough to damage your reputation.  We do offer contractual rodent and pest control services to commercial premises.

The burrowing or rats is often a tell-tale sign of their presence. We often get calls where significant rat holes have been made in and around compost heaps, under sheds and beneath patios. A further common problem area has been under garden decking.

Obviously physically bigger than our other most common pest rodent (mouse) the rat is also a prolific breeder. Our advice is always treat rat problems and infestations at the earliest point possible.

Once your rat problem has been cleared you must take action to stop it reoccurring and we will give you advice on this also. We also carry out rodent proofing work where suitable.
