Recognising the Signs of Rats: Is Your Launceston Property at Risk?
Rats are nocturnal and incredibly cautious creatures, so you might not spot one directly. However, they leave behind clear evidence of their presence. Keep an eye out for tell-tale signs like droppings – typically dark, spindle-shaped, and about 12mm long. You might also hear scratching noises, especially in the loft or wall cavities, as they scurry and gnaw. Look for gnaw marks on cables, pipes, or wooden structures, which can pose fire hazards and costly damage. Rat runs – established paths through insulation, along skirting boards, or in gardens – are also a strong indicator. Seeing any of these signs means it's time to act quickly to protect your property and peace of mind.

Who We Are
Why Professional Rat Control is Essential for Your Safety
Attempting to tackle a rat infestation yourself with off-the-shelf traps or poisons often proves frustrating and ineffective in the long run. Rats can be wary of new objects, and without professional understanding of their behaviour and biology, you’ll struggle to eliminate the entire infestation. More critically, rats carry diseases like Weil's disease and Salmonella, and their fleas can transmit other pathogens. DIY methods can also pose risks to children, pets, and non-target wildlife if not handled correctly. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use professional-grade rodenticides and traps, deployed safely and strategically. We also provide crucial advice on how to make your property less appealing to rodents, ensuring a lasting solution.

01822 668338Our Thorough & Responsible Rat Control Approach in Launceston
At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand that effective rat control goes far beyond simply laying down bait. As proud CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) subscribers, we are committed to using rodenticides responsibly, protecting the environment and non-target species. Our process begins with a comprehensive, no-obligation site survey to identify the extent of the infestation, entry points, and potential food sources. We then develop a tailored treatment plan, combining secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides or powerful trapping where appropriate. Our expertise also includes specialist Rodent Control for Drains, often a hidden entry point for rats. We aim to eliminate the problem quickly and safely, providing you with a rodent-free environment.

Getting rid of the rats is only half the battle. To ensure they don't return, effective proofing is absolutely crucial. Once we've cleared your current infestation, our team will identify and advise on how to block potential ingress points – those small gaps and holes rats use to get inside. This might include sealing up gaps in foundations, repairing damaged air bricks, or fitting mesh over drain pipes. Investing in quality rodent proofing is the most effective way to protect your Launceston home or business from future infestations, saving you money and stress in the long run.
