Spotting the Signs of Rats in Your North Tawton Property
Rats are masters of concealment, often operating under the cover of darkness. However, they almost always leave behind tell-tale signs of their presence. If you're hearing scratching or scurrying noises in your loft, walls, or under floorboards, especially at night, it’s a strong indicator. Keep an eye out for droppings – small, dark, and pellet-shaped, often found along skirting boards or in cupboards. You might also notice gnaw marks on cables, pipes, wooden structures, or even food packaging. Greasy rub marks along walls where they frequently travel, or even burrows in your garden, are further evidence. If you suspect you have rats in your North Tawton property, it’s crucial to act fast before a small problem becomes a major infestation.

Who We Are
Why Professional Rat Control is Essential for Your Safety
While DIY traps or poisons might seem like a quick fix, rat control is a complex issue best left to the experts. Off-the-shelf products often aren't potent enough or used correctly, leading to "bait shyness" where rats become wary and harder to catch. More importantly, rats carry a host of diseases, including Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonellosis, posing significant health risks to your family and pets. They can also cause extensive property damage, from contaminated food to chewed electrical wires that could spark fires. As BPCA affiliated members and RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians, Moorlander Pest Control has the specialist knowledge, equipment, and professional-grade rodenticides to safely and effectively eradicate rats, protecting both your property and those within it.

01822 668338Our Responsible & Effective Rat Eradication Process
Our approach to rat control in North Tawton is built on two decades of experience and adherence to the highest industry standards. We are proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, meaning every treatment is carried out with the utmost care for non-target species and the environment. We begin with a thorough, discreet site survey to identify the extent of the infestation, locate entry points (ingress points), and pinpoint nesting and feeding areas. We then deploy secure, tamper-resistant bait stations containing professional-grade rodenticides, or strategic trapping, tailored to your specific situation and property type – whether it's a residential home or a commercial business. Our goal is not just to eliminate the current rats but to break their breeding cycle and prevent future problems.

01822 668338Long-Term Rat Prevention: Proofing Your Property
Eradicating rats is only half the battle; preventing their return is key to long-term peace of mind. At Moorlander Pest Control, we specialise in comprehensive rodent proofing solutions. During our inspection, we'll identify how rats are getting into your property, which can often be surprising – from small gaps around pipes to damaged air bricks or even issues with your drainage system. We offer expert advice and can carry out professional proofing works to seal these entry points, making your North Tawton property much harder for rats to access. This might involve sealing gaps in foundations, repairing damaged pipes, or installing special grilles over vents. For complex cases, our specialist qualifications, such as Rodent Control for Drains, allow us to investigate sewer systems, a common entry point for rats.
