Recognising the Signs of a Rat Problem in Stratton
Rats are masters of hiding, but they often leave behind clear indicators of their presence. If you're living or working in Stratton and suspect you might have a rat problem, look out for these common signs:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings, often found along skirting boards, in cupboards, or near food sources.
- Gnaw Marks: Rats constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check. Look for chewed cables, pipes, wooden beams, or even food packaging.
- Scratching Noises: You might hear scratching, scurrying, or even squeaking noises, particularly at night, coming from lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards.
- Smells: A strong, musky smell, especially in confined areas, can indicate a rat infestation.
- Runways or Smear Marks: Rats follow established routes. Greasy smear marks might be visible along walls or pipes where they repeatedly travel, especially in dirty or dusty environments.
- Sightings: Seeing a live rat, particularly during the day, usually indicates a significant infestation.
If any of these signs sound familiar, don't delay – professional help is essential to prevent the problem from escalating.

Who We Are
Our Thorough and Responsible Rat Control Approach
When it comes to getting rid of rats, simply laying down bait isn't enough. Our comprehensive rat control service in Stratton begins with a detailed, thorough inspection of your property. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will identify how rats are gaining entry (ingress points), locate their nesting sites and food sources, and assess the full extent of the infestation. We then develop a tailored treatment plan using a combination of methods, including:
- Strategic Baiting: We use professional-grade rodenticides within secure, tamper-resistant bait stations, placed strategically where rats are active. As proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, we prioritise responsible rodenticide use, protecting pets, non-target wildlife, and the environment.
- Trap Placement: In certain situations, or as part of an integrated approach, we might use effective trapping methods.
- Proofing Advice & Implementation: Crucially, we don't just eliminate existing rats. We provide expert advice on proofing your property to prevent future infestations, sealing entry points and addressing vulnerabilities. For more complex issues, we can also advise on or carry out specialist proofing works.
We work discreetly and efficiently to ensure the safety of your family, employees, and pets throughout the process.
