Understanding the Threat: Why Rats Demand Professional Attention
A rat infestation can quickly escalate, posing a real threat to your health and property. Rats carry diseases like Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and Salmonellosis, contaminating food preparation areas and surfaces with their urine and droppings. Beyond health risks, their constant gnawing can damage electrical wiring – a significant fire hazard – as well as plumbing, insulation, and structural timbers. DIY methods often fall short, as rats are intelligent and can quickly become 'bait shy' or find alternative routes. For effective, long-term rat removal, you need a professional, experienced service that gets to the root of the problem.

Who We Are
Our Proven & Responsible Rat Eradication Process in Torpoint
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just lay traps; we implement a comprehensive, ethical, and highly effective rat control strategy. With 20 years of practical experience, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians follow a meticulous process:
- Thorough Site Survey: We start with a detailed inspection of your Torpoint property to identify entry points, nesting sites, food sources, and the extent of the infestation. This allows us to understand exactly how rats are getting in and where they are harbouring.
- Targeted Treatment Plan: We develop a tailored plan using a combination of methods. This can include secure, tamper-resistant bait stations containing professional-grade rodenticides (which are far more effective and controlled than shop-bought products), as well as strategically placed traps.
- CRRU Compliance: As proud subscribers to the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), we are deeply committed to protecting non-target wildlife and the environment. All our rodenticide use strictly adheres to the CRRU code of practice, ensuring responsible application.
- Proofing & Prevention Advice: Eradication is only part of the solution. We provide expert advice and can carry out essential proofing works to seal off ingress points and prevent future infestations, giving you lasting peace of mind.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs: Is Your Torpoint Property Home to Rats?
Rats are often heard before they are seen, but there are several tell-tale signs that indicate an unwelcome rodent guest. If you notice any of these, don't delay in seeking professional help:
- Droppings: Look for dark, pellet-shaped droppings, typically 1-2cm long, often found along runs, in cupboards, or near food sources.
- Gnaw Marks: Rats constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check. Look for chew marks on wood, plastic, pipes, cables, and even food packaging.
- Scratching Noises: You might hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds, especially at night, coming from lofts, walls, or under floorboards.
- Grease Marks/Smears: Rats follow established routes. Look for dark, greasy marks along skirting boards, walls, or pipes where they repeatedly brush against surfaces.
- Burrows: In gardens or under sheds, you might find active burrows, usually around 6-9cm in diameter.
- Unpleasant Odour: A strong, stale smell, especially in enclosed areas like under cupboards, can indicate an active infestation.
