Spotting the Signs of Rats in Your Great Torrington Property
Rats are masters of hiding, so it's not always easy to spot them directly. However, they leave clear evidence of their presence if you know what to look for. Keep an eye out for droppings – small, dark, and pellet-shaped, often found along skirting boards or in cupboards. You might hear scratching, gnawing, or scuttling noises, especially at night, coming from your loft, walls, or under floorboards. Look for signs of gnawing on food packaging, cables, or wooden structures. Grease marks or 'smear marks' can appear along walls and pipes where rats travel regularly. If you spot any of these tell-tale signs, it's time to act quickly to prevent the infestation from worsening and protect your property from further damage.

01822 668338Our Thorough Approach to Rat Eradication
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution for rat control. Every infestation is unique, and our approach is always tailored to your specific situation. Here’s how we tackle your rat problem:
- Comprehensive Site Inspection: We begin with a thorough inspection of your property, both inside and out. Our goal is to identify the extent of the infestation, locate entry points (ingress points), identify food and water sources, and pinpoint harborage areas.
- Targeted Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we'll develop a bespoke treatment plan. This often involves strategically placing secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides in safe locations, or using traps where appropriate.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We schedule follow-up visits to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment, replenish bait, and ensure the problem is being resolved.
- Proofing Advice & Implementation: Crucially, we’ll provide expert advice on how to proof your property against future infestations. We can also carry out these proofing works for you, from sealing small gaps to complex drain surveys using our specialist equipment.
