Who We Are
Our Proven Process for Effective Rat Eradication
We don't just lay down bait and hope for the best. Our approach to rat control in Camelford is thorough and systematic, built on decades of experience. First, we conduct a detailed site inspection to identify the extent of the infestation, locate entry points (ingress points), and pinpoint potential food sources and harbourage areas. Understanding the rats' behaviour is key to successful treatment. We then implement a tailored strategy, which often involves the strategic placement of secure, tamper-resistant bait stations containing professional-grade rodenticides. For specific situations, we also use advanced trapping methods. Our goal isn't just to remove the existing rats; we provide crucial advice and even implement proofing works to stop them from coming back, offering a long-term solution to protect your property.

Rats are masters of hiding, but they do leave clues. Knowing what to look for can help you act quickly before a small problem becomes a major infestation. Keep an eye out for these common signs:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often found along skirting boards, in cupboards, or near food sources. Rat droppings are typically larger than mouse droppings.
- Gnaw Marks: Rats constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check. Look for chew marks on wood, plastic, pipes, electrical cables, or even food packaging.
- Scratching Noises: You might hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds, especially at night, coming from lofts, wall cavities, under floors, or behind kitchen units.
- Run Marks/Smears: Over time, rats leave greasy smudge marks along walls and skirting boards where they repeatedly travel.
- Sightings: Actually seeing a rat, particularly during daylight hours, can indicate a large or established infestation, as they are primarily nocturnal.

01822 668338Beyond DIY: Why Professional Rat Control is Essential
It's tempting to try and tackle a rat problem yourself with off-the-shelf products. However, DIY solutions rarely get to the root of the issue and can often make the problem worse. Store-bought poisons are generally less potent than professional-grade rodenticides and can be misused, posing risks to children or pets. Rats can also become "bait shy," avoiding DIY traps and baits after an initial negative experience, making them even harder to eliminate. Our RSPH-qualified team uses effective, targeted methods and has the expertise to correctly identify species, understand their behaviour, and apply treatments safely and legally. We'll solve your rat problem quickly and responsibly, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.
