π RODENT PEST CONTROL β
The Brown Rat
Professional troublemaker. Expert chewer. Unwanted roommate!!
the Brown Rat, one of the UK's most common rodents. Whether they're hiding in lofts, sheds, gardens, or wall cavities, rats are always on the lookout for food, shelter, and somewhere to call homeβpreferably yours!
π¨ The Problems Rats Cause
π¦ Spread Disease
Rats can carry harmful diseases including Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease), Salmonella, and E. coli, putting families, employees, and pets at risk.
π Damage Property
Their teeth never stop growing, so they constantly gnaw on wiring, pipes, insulation, and wood, leading to expensive repairs and even fire hazards.
π Contaminate Food
Rats leave behind droppings, urine, and fur wherever they travel, making food and preparation areas unsafe.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Rapid Breeding
A small rat problem can quickly become a major infestation if left untreated.
π Signs You May Have Rats
β Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
β Droppings around kitchens, sheds, or garages
β Gnaw marks on cables and food packaging
β Burrows under decking or in gardens
β Strong musky odours
π‘ Rodent's Tip
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm. Check around pipes, doors, air vents, and drainsβyou might be leaving the door open without realising it!
