Rat Control in London
Rats can cause damage and contaminate surfaces, and they rarely appear without a reason. We find how they are getting in, deal with the activity and help you stop it recurring.
What to look out for
Rat activity is often found outside first, but they can also get into lofts, wall cavities and under floors.
- Larger droppings, often in groups along runs
- Burrows in gardens, under decking or beside sheds
- Gnaw marks on wood, plastic or cables
- Scratching or heavier movement in lofts and ceilings
- Dark smear marks along walls and entry points
- Activity around bins, compost or bird feeders
How we deal with rats
Inspection
Inside and out, to confirm activity and find where rats are living and travelling.
Monitoring
Monitoring and targeted control, placed safely with children, pets and wildlife in mind.
Entry points
Gaps, damaged air bricks, pipe entries and other routes into the building.
Drainage & external risks
Where relevant, we check for signs of drain-related activity and outside attractants.
Proofing & prevention
Recommendations and proofing to block access and reduce the chance of a return.
When the problem starts outside
In London, rats can enter buildings through defects in drainage or from gardens, bin areas and neighbouring land. Where we suspect a drainage issue, we will tell you and explain what further checks or repairs may be needed.
