Rat Removal and Control
Once rats inhabit your house, business or city, they are a destructive force to be reckoned with and left to their own scampering devices, can cause significant damage to your property and surrounding wildlife. Rats arrived in the UK from Asia in the 1800’s and later from Europe via shipping passages. Since then, they have taken over our streets, sewers and homes, happily feasting on our leftover waste.

Why it's important to control rats
- Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans, normally through their urine, including leptospirosis, salmonella, and listeria.
- Rats can inflict a great amount of structural damage. They can cause serious fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables; floods by puncturing pipes; and even death by chewing through gas pipes. The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.
- Rats can ruin an organisation's reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.
- Property owners have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep premises rodent-free.
