Why Choose Us?
Why a Rat Problem in Your Paignton Property Needs Urgent Attention
Rats, primarily the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), breed rapidly, meaning a small problem can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation. They are notorious carriers of diseases like Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonellosis, posing a direct threat to human and pet health. Beyond health concerns, rats cause extensive damage by gnawing through electrical cables, pipework, and structural timber, which can lead to fire hazards or flooding. While DIY options might offer temporary relief, they rarely address the root cause, often pushing the problem deeper or to other areas. For a lasting solution, you need professional expertise that understands rodent behaviour and how to protect your property and loved ones.

Who We Are
Our Expert Process for Eliminating Rats Safely & Responsibly
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just lay traps; we provide a comprehensive, ethical, and highly effective rat control service. As proud subscribers to the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) code of practice, we prioritise the safety of non-target wildlife and the environment. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians begin with a thorough, free inspection to identify the extent of the infestation, pinpoint entry points (ingress points), and locate food and water sources. We then develop a tailored treatment plan, utilising secure, tamper-resistant bait stations with professional-grade rodenticides or powerful traps, depending on your specific situation and property. Crucially, our service includes expert advice and implementation of essential proofing works to prevent rats from returning, offering you long-term peace of mind.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of Rats: What to Look For in Your Home or Business
Even if you haven't seen a rat, there are clear signs that suggest their presence. Being able to spot these early indicators can help you act quickly before an infestation takes hold. Keep an eye out for droppings – these are typically dark, pellet-shaped, and roughly 1-2cm long, often found along skirting boards or in cupboards. You might also notice gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or even electrical cables. Unusual scratching or scuttling noises, especially in lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards at night, are common indicators. A strong, musky smell is another giveaway, as are visible smear marks (greasy trails left by their fur) along frequently travelled routes. If you spot any of these signs in your Paignton property, it’s time to call in the experts.
