Recognising the Signs of Rats in Your Kingsteignton Property
Rats are often nocturnal, so you might not see them, but they leave plenty of clues. Common signs of a rat problem include scratching noises, especially in lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards, particularly at night. You might find distinctive rat droppings – small, dark, and pellet-shaped, usually concentrated in specific areas. Gnaw marks on wires, pipes, or wooden structures are also a clear indicator of their presence. Sometimes, you'll notice a strong, musky smell, particularly in enclosed spaces. If you've spotted any of these signs, it's time to call in the professionals.

Who We Are
Why Professional Rat Eradication is Essential for Your Safety
Trying to tackle a rat problem yourself with off-the-shelf traps or poisons often leads to limited success and can even be dangerous. Rats are intelligent and can quickly become 'bait shy', avoiding your DIY efforts. More importantly, rats carry diseases like Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonella, which can be transmitted through their urine, droppings, or even by direct contact. They can also cause considerable damage by gnawing through electrical cables, leading to fire hazards, or contaminating food preparation areas. Our professional team uses targeted, effective methods and specialised equipment, ensuring the job is done right, protecting your family, pets, and property.

01822 668338Our Responsible Approach to Rat Control (CRRU Certified)
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just lay down bait and leave. As BPCA affiliated members and proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, our rat control strategies are always responsible and environmentally conscious. We begin with a thorough site inspection to identify the species, the extent of the infestation, and, crucially, how the rats are gaining entry to your property. Our solutions combine secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides or powerful trapping methods where appropriate. We also consider non-toxic options and integrate robust proofing solutions to prevent future infestations, always prioritising the safety of non-target wildlife and domestic pets.

01822 668338Tailored Rat and Rodent Proofing for Long-Term Protection
Eradicating the current rat population is only half the battle. For a truly effective and lasting solution, it's vital to prevent future invaders. Our team provides expert advice and implementation of proofing works. This involves identifying and sealing potential entry points – even tiny gaps can be enough for a mouse, and rats are not far behind. We focus on sealing holes in foundations, repairing damaged pipework, blocking gaps around cables, and even conducting specialist sewer surveys to identify common ingress points from drainage systems. This proactive approach ensures your Kingsteignton property remains rat-free for the long term.
