Your Go-To Rat Pest Control Specialists
Say Goodbye to the Health Hazards and Property Damage Caused by Rats – Let Our Expert Rat Pest Control Team Handle It for You!
Rats can pose serious health hazards and cause significant damage to your property. These pests carry various diseases that can be transmitted to humans through their urine, faces, and bites. Moreover, they can cause structural damage to your home or business by chewing through wires, insulation, wood, plasterboard and even concrete and soft metals!
Without proper rat pest control, an infestation can quickly spiral out of control, making it harder and more expensive to eradicate. The sight of rats scurrying across your property can also be unsettling and embarrassing, potentially damaging your reputation and causing stress and anxiety.
Do I Need Rat Pest Control?
Rats can be difficult to spot because they usually only come out during the night. If you suspect you have a rat infestation, then look out for common signs including;
- Rat droppings
- Bite and gnaw marks
- Sounds of movement and scratching in walls and floorboards
If you do have rats in your property, it is essential you handle the infestation immediately before they cause damage or harm. It is doubtful that a property would have just one rat, and rat pest control services are vital for effectively removing all rodents and preventing them from returning.
Essential tips for effective pest control for rats:
- Identify entry points: Check your property for any potential entry points that rats may use to gain access, such as cracks in the walls or holes in the foundation. Seal these areas to prevent rats from entering.
- Keep your property clean: Rats are attracted to food sources and cluttered areas. Keep your property clean and tidy to avoid providing hiding places and food sources for rats.
- Store food properly: Rats are attracted to food and can easily chew through packaging to access it. Store food in airtight containers made of hard plastic or metal to prevent rats from getting in.
- Use rat pest control products: Consider using rat pest control products such as traps, bait stations, and exclusion devices. Place them strategically around your property in areas where rats are likely to travel.
- Monitor regularly: Regularly check for signs of rat activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and unusual sounds. If you notice any signs of infestation, take action immediately to prevent the problem from getting worse.
- Hire professional pest control services: If you have a severe rat infestation, consider hiring professional pest control services. Skilled technicians can use specialized equipment and techniques to quickly and effectively eliminate rats from your property.
By following these tips, you can help prevent rat infestations and keep your property safe and clean. Remember to take action at the first sign of infestation and seek professional help if needed.
How Can We Help You With Rat Pest Control?
Here at Area Pest Control, our team of pest controllers are BPCA certified and fully trained to handle rat problems in all types of properties. Our rat pest control services include:
- Access Points: Rats will generally gain access to your property via damaged and broken drains, through openings and gaps in the property, wall cavities, ceilings and they can even up climb up drain pipes and enter your attic from under the roof tiles, this is why we carry out a visual survey internally and externally to look for areas the rats are coming into your building.
Drains are often the likely suspect when dealing with rats, your technician where possible will always remove the manhole covers to the drains on your property to look in the chambers for rat activity and place bait inside where deemed appropriate, the technician will often recommend a drain survey if they feel this is the cause of the rat infestation.
Rats also commonly live in wall cavities and ceilings, and from there they can access all areas in a property. Most properties do not have direct access to cavity walls, making it difficult to reach the rats and set bait. Our pest removal team can create a specialist access point which can be used to look into wall cavities and spot rats and possible damage. By working with us and acting on our recommendations your rat treatment will be much more effective.
- Rat Pest Control Treatments: Once rats have been identified and can be accessed, we will use a range of pest removal treatments. These depend on the level of infestation and type of property but generally involve rat traps and poison. By using dedicated access points, rat poison is kept safely away from pets and children.
Our professional rat pest control services are designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future ones. Our skilled technicians use proven techniques and customised plans to quickly and safely eradicate rats from your property. We take a comprehensive approach that involves identifying the source of the problem, sealing entry points, and implementing targeted baiting and trapping methods.

Service: Rodent extermination
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
After a sleepless night due to noises in the loft. I contacted APC first thing. Daniel called back by 0800 and said he could have someone out before lunch. Josh arrived and had a good hunt around the loft and the garden and set a variety of solutions to try and identify the problem. A week later Josh came back and gathered all the grain and bait which was left (not alot) and located a dead rat in the loft. He replenished everything to see if anymore bait etc would be taken. He even went in the drains and laid some to try and identify the entry points. On the third and final visit Josh cleared everything away. None of the new bait or grain had been touched so the first treatment appeared to have done the trick. Josh then went through some solutions to undertake in the warmer weather to try and prevent any rodents returning.. The service offered from my initial enquiry to the end of the final visit was on the money, they were professional, polite, helpful. Hopefully we don’t have to use them again, but if we have any further issues in the house they’ll be the first and only people I’ll turn to
