Rats can cause damage to your property by gnawing through electrical wiring, packaged goods, plastic and even structures. The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.

If you have a business, rats can ruin your reputation. If customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.

Rats will also contaminate food and spread extremely harmful diseases including Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii and Hantavirus.

Rats are highly mobile and will breed rapidly, this combination can make rat control a difficult task for the untrained person. The most effective way to get rid of rats is by using a professional. Our technicians have been trained to the highest standard to resolve your problem.

The Law: Property owners have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep premises rodent free, or, if rodents pose a threat to health or property, to report infestations to the local authority.
