Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Rat Control is Essential for Your Bodmin Property
While it might be tempting to try DIY methods like store-bought traps or poisons, rats are incredibly resilient and intelligent pests. They learn quickly, can become bait-shy, and are adept at finding new entry points. More importantly, attempting to control a rat problem yourself often fails to address the root cause, leading to recurring infestations. Professional rat control, like the service we offer, goes far beyond simply setting traps. We use professional-grade rodenticides and traps that are significantly more effective and applied responsibly, protecting your family, pets, and the local environment. Our thorough approach identifies how rats are getting in and what's attracting them, ensuring a long-term solution to your problem.

Who We Are
Our Proven Process for Effective Rat Eradication
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just treat the symptoms; we get to the source of your rat infestation. Our comprehensive process begins with a detailed, on-site inspection of your property in Bodmin. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will meticulously survey the area to identify potential entry points (also known as ingress points), harborage areas, and food sources that are attracting rodents. Following our assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan using a combination of methods, including secure, tamper-resistant bait stations and strategic trapping. As proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, we ensure all rodenticides are used responsibly, ethically, and with the utmost care for non-target wildlife and the environment. This commitment to best practice sets our service apart.

01822 668338Signs You Might Have a Rat Infestation
Rats are masters of concealment, but they do leave clues. If you suspect you have a rat problem in your Bodmin property, look out for these common signs:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings (larger than mouse droppings) often found along walls, in cupboards, or near food sources.
- Gnaw Marks: Rats constantly gnaw to keep their teeth sharp. Look for chew marks on wires, pipes, wooden beams, or even food packaging.
- Noises: Scratching, scuttling, or gnawing sounds coming from lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards, especially at night.
- Smear Marks: Dark, greasy marks along skirting boards or walls where rats repeatedly travel, leaving oil from their fur.
- Burrows: In gardens or under sheds, you might spot holes in the ground where rats are nesting.
- Sightings: Actually seeing a live rat, particularly during the day, can indicate a large or well-established infestation.
