Rodents such as rats and mice are one of the most common pests in the UK. They can cause serious problems in both homes and businesses. Rodents spread disease, contaminate food, and damage property by chewing through wires, pipes, and insulation. A small infestation can quickly grow, as rodents breed rapidly and are skilled at hiding in hard-to-reach places.
Signs of a rodent problem include droppings, gnaw marks, scratching noises, and nests made from shredded materials. You may also notice a strong smell or spot grease marks along walls where rodents travel. If left untreated, infestations can get out of control and pose health and safety risks.
Rodent Control Process
We use a thorough process to identify and remove rodent infestations effectively.
01 - Rodent Control Inspection
A professional pest control technician will inspect your property to confirm the type of rodent present and the scale of the problem. We identify entry points, nesting areas, and food sources. From there, we create a tailored treatment plan to suit your property and situation.
02 - Rodent Control Treatment
Our treatments combine safe, targeted methods such as traps, baits, and proofing techniques. We focus on eliminating existing infestations and preventing rodents from re-entering. Treatments are carried out professionally to minimise risk to people, pets, and the environment.
Preventing Future Rodent Problems
Once rodents are removed, prevention is key to stopping them from coming back. A few practical steps can help.
- Seal holes, gaps, and cracks around doors, windows, pipes, and vents.
- Keep food in sealed containers and clear away spillages quickly.
- Store waste securely in bins with tight-fitting lids.
- Reduce clutter and nesting materials inside sheds, lofts, and storage areas.
- Keep outdoor spaces tidy by cutting back vegetation and removing debris.
By following these steps alongside professional pest control, you can protect your property from further rodent activity.
