Why Professional Rat Control is Essential for Your Chudleigh Property
Don't underestimate the dangers of a rat infestation. These adaptable rodents carry diseases like Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonella, posing a direct threat to your family, pets, and employees. Beyond health risks, rats cause considerable structural damage by gnawing through electrical cables, water pipes, and building materials. While store-bought traps and poisons might seem like a quick fix, they rarely address the root cause of the problem. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use professional-grade methods and have the expertise to locate hidden nests, identify entry points, and implement a tailored eradication plan that’s far more effective than any DIY attempt. As BPCA affiliated members, you can trust our methods are safe, humane, and adhere to the highest industry standards.

Who We Are
Our Responsible Approach to Rat Control in Chudleigh
Our strategy for rat control in Chudleigh goes beyond just laying bait. We follow a thorough, integrated pest management (IPM) approach, always prioritising safety and effectiveness. Firstly, our experienced technicians conduct a comprehensive site survey to understand the extent of the infestation, identify ingress points, and pinpoint food and water sources. Secondly, we implement targeted treatments using secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides or powerful traps, strategically placed away from non-target species. Crucially, as CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) subscribers, we adhere strictly to best practices, ensuring responsible rodenticide use to protect wildlife and the environment. This means less risk to your pets and local wildlife.

Rats are often nocturnal, so you might not see them directly, but they leave tell-tale signs. If you suspect rats are sharing your Chudleigh property, look out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often found along skirting boards, in cupboards, or near food sources. Rat droppings are larger than mouse droppings.
- Gnaw Marks: Scratches or chew marks on wires, pipes, wooden beams, or food packaging.
- Scratching Noises: Sounds of scurrying, gnawing, or scratching, particularly in lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards at night.
- Smear Marks: Greasy trails along walls and skirting boards where rats repeatedly travel.
- Burrows: Tunnels dug into the ground, often near sheds, under decking, or alongside foundations.
If you notice any of these signs, don't delay – contact us straight away.
