Who We Are
Our Proven Process for Effective Rat Control
Simply laying down bait isn't enough to solve a rat problem. Our comprehensive approach goes beyond just treating the symptoms to get to the root cause of the infestation. We begin with a thorough, discreet site survey to identify exactly where rats are active, how they're getting in (their ingress points), and what's attracting them. We then implement a tailored treatment plan using professional-grade, secure, tamper-resistant bait stations or powerful traps, depending on the situation and your specific needs. Crucially, our service includes expert advice and implementation of essential proofing works to seal off entry points, preventing future problems and giving you long-term protection against these persistent pests.

01822 668338Common Signs of a Rat Infestation in Your Property
Rats are nocturnal and very good at hiding, so you might not see them directly, but they leave plenty of clues. Keep an eye out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often found along skirting boards, in cupboards, or near food sources.
- Gnaw Marks: Rats constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check, leaving behind chew marks on wood, plastic, pipes, or electrical cables.
- Scratching Noises: Particularly at night, you might hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds coming from lofts, walls, or under floorboards.
- Smear Marks: Grease and dirt from their bodies can leave dark smudges along walls and floor where they regularly travel.
- Runs or Nests: In gardens, you might spot well-used pathways through grass or soil, or even burrows. Indoors, rats build nests in hidden, undisturbed areas using shredded materials.
If you spot any of these signs in your Wadebridge home or business, don't delay – call us for a professional assessment.

01822 668338Understanding the Risks of Uncontrolled Rat Problems
Ignoring a rat infestation can lead to serious consequences. Rats are known carriers of numerous diseases, including Leptospirosis (Weil's disease), Salmonella, and Hantavirus, posing a significant health risk to people and pets. Beyond health concerns, their constant gnawing can cause extensive damage to property, chewing through electrical wiring (a fire hazard), water pipes (leading to leaks), insulation, and structural timber. They can also contaminate food preparation areas and stored goods, making professional intervention essential to protect your health and your assets.
