Why Choose Us?
Why Rats are More Than Just a Nuisance for Exmouth Properties
Rats are far more than just an unpleasant sight. They carry a range of diseases that can be transmitted to humans and pets, including Leptospirosis (Weil's disease), Salmonella, and Hantavirus. Beyond these health risks, their constant gnawing can damage electrical wiring, water pipes, and structural timbers, leading to costly repairs and even fire hazards. They also contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and urine, making your environment unsafe. Delaying professional intervention can quickly turn a small problem into a severe infestation, causing more stress and disruption for your Exmouth home or business.

Who We Are
Our Responsible & Effective Approach to Rat Control in Exmouth
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't believe in quick fixes that simply mask the problem. Our approach to rat control in Exmouth is built on two decades of practical experience and a commitment to responsible practices. As proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, we ensure that all rodenticides are used ethically, safely, and with minimal risk to non-target wildlife and pets. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians conduct thorough site surveys to understand precisely how rats are entering and thriving on your property. We then develop an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan that combines secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides and powerful traps where suitable. We focus on eliminating the existing infestation and crucially, preventing future problems.

When you contact us about a rat problem in Exmouth, here's what you can expect from our expert team:
- Thorough Inspection: Our experienced technicians will conduct a detailed survey of your property, identifying entry points (ingress points), nesting sites, food sources, and the full extent of the infestation.
- Targeted Treatment: Based on our findings, we deploy a tailored treatment plan using the most effective and safe methods for your specific situation. This may involve professional-grade rodenticides in secure bait stations, targeted trapping, or a combination of both.
- Proofing & Prevention Advice: We don't just get rid of the rats; we help you keep them away. We provide expert advice on essential proofing works, from sealing gaps in foundations to repairing damaged drains. We can even carry out specialist drain surveys if we suspect rats are entering via your drainage system.
- Follow-Up Visits: We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress, safely remove deceased rodents, and ensure the infestation has been completely cleared.
- Discreet Service: We understand the need for discretion, and our unmarked vehicles ensure your privacy.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of Rats in Your Exmouth Property
Even if you haven't seen a rat, they often leave clear evidence of their presence. Being aware of these signs can help you act quickly and prevent a small issue from becoming a large infestation. Look out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often found near food sources, in cupboards, or along skirting boards. Rat droppings are larger than mouse droppings.
- Gnaw Marks: Scratches or chew marks on wires, pipes, wooden beams, or food packaging.
- Unusual Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds coming from lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards, especially at night.
- Smear Marks: Dark, greasy marks along walls or skirting boards where rats regularly travel, leaving grease and dirt from their fur.
- Nests: Shredded insulation, cardboard, or fabric in secluded areas like lofts, under sheds, or in compost heaps.
- Strong, Musky Odour: A stale, ammonia-like smell, particularly noticeable in enclosed areas.
If you spot any of these signs in your Exmouth property, don't hesitate to call us for a free, no-obligation assessment.
