Expert Rat Control Services in Devon & Cornwall
Discovering rats in your home or business can be a deeply unsettling experience. These clever rodents aren't just a nuisance; they pose significant health risks, cause extensive damage to property, and can quickly multiply into a full-blown infestation if left unchecked. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the stress and urgency that come with a rat problem. With 20 years of hands-on experience, our local, RSPH-qualified technicians are experts at swiftly and safely eliminating rats from properties across Devon and Cornwall, including Plymouth, Tavistock, Liskeard, and beyond.

Spotting the Signs: Do You Have a Rat Problem?
Rats are nocturnal and incredibly cautious creatures, so you might not see them directly. However, they leave behind clear evidence of their presence. Look out for droppings, which are typically dark, pellet-shaped, and around 1-2cm long. You might also hear scratching or gnawing noises, especially at night, coming from lofts, walls, or under floorboards. Gnaw marks on wood, wires, pipes, or food packaging are another tell-tale sign, along with greasy smear marks along skirting boards or walls where rats repeatedly travel. If you suspect rats, it’s crucial to act fast before the problem escalates.

Who We Are
Our Thorough & Responsible Rat Control Approach
Simply putting down a few traps or some DIY bait rarely solves a rat infestation permanently. At Moorlander Pest Control, we believe in a comprehensive, ethical, and highly effective approach. As BPCA affiliated members and subscribers to the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), our methods prioritise safety for your family, pets, and the wider environment. We begin with a detailed site survey to pinpoint ingress points, identify the extent of the infestation, and locate nesting and feeding areas. Our solutions often involve a combination of professional-grade, tamper-resistant bait stations, high-performance traps, and expert advice on environmental management to ensure a long-term solution.

01822 668338Why Professional Rat Extermination is Essential
Rats are intelligent and can quickly become 'bait shy' if treatments are incorrect. DIY methods often fall short because they lack the necessary professional-grade products, the deep understanding of rat behaviour, and the expertise required for effective proofing. Our professional pest controllers are equipped with specialist tools and training, including Marksman Qualification for air rifles where appropriate, and Rodent Control for Drains expertise, allowing us to tackle even the most challenging infestations. We don't just clear the immediate problem; we provide robust strategies to protect your property from future re-infestations.
