Understanding the problem
Rats rarely stay outside.
Rats can enter through surprisingly small gaps and may remain hidden in roof spaces, wall cavities, kitchens, outbuildings and drainage systems. Once inside, they can contaminate food and surfaces, damage insulation and wiring, and create a risk to health.
A professional inspection looks beyond the first visible sign to understand where the activity is coming from and why it is happening.
Why act quickly?
Rats breed quickly and can cause expensive damage.
The earlier the source and entry points are identified, the easier it is to prevent a small problem becoming established.
Speak to our team →What to look for
Signs you may have rats
Rats are mainly active when properties are quiet, so the evidence is often easier to spot than the animals themselves.
Droppings
Dark, capsule-shaped droppings found near food, walls, cupboards or hidden routes.
Scratching noises
Movement in walls, ceilings, lofts or beneath floors, particularly at night.
Gnaw marks
Damage to wood, plastic, stored goods, pipework or electrical cables.
Greasy marks or smell
Dark rub marks along routes or a persistent musky odour in enclosed areas.
Professional treatment
We treat the infestation and investigate why it happened.
Our approach is designed around the building and the pattern of activity. We identify likely access points, explain the available options and carry out a measured treatment plan.
- Detailed inspection and identification
- Targeted treatment based on activity
- Advice on food, waste and harbourage
- Proofing recommendations for likely entry points
Why DIY often falls short
Rat treatment is not simply a matter of putting bait down.
Treating one area without understanding access routes, food sources and harbourage can scatter activity or leave the cause untouched. Rats may avoid unfamiliar objects and can be extremely cautious around new food sources.
Professional control combines inspection, carefully positioned treatment, monitoring and practical proofing advice rather than relying on a single product.

Rats can enter through damaged air bricks, gaps around pipes, drains, roof lines, doors and other small defects. An inspection helps identify the most likely routes.
Can you attend quickly?
We often offer same-day appointments across the CT postcode area, subject to availability.
Is one visit enough?
Rat control commonly requires a treatment course with monitoring. The exact number of visits depends on the property and level of activity.
Will you help stop them coming back?
Yes. We provide practical proofing and prevention advice based on the access points and conditions found during inspection.
Are rats dangerous?
Rats can contaminate food and surfaces and may damage wiring, insulation and building materials. It is sensible to deal with suspected activity promptly.
