Why Choose Us?
Why Rats Are More Than Just a Nuisance in Your Wiveliscombe Property
Rats are far more than just an unpleasant sight. They carry and spread diseases like Weil's disease (Leptospirosis) and Salmonella, contaminating food preparation surfaces and stored items. Beyond health risks, their constant gnawing can cause serious damage to electrical wiring, leading to fire hazards, and compromise structural integrity by chewing through pipes, wood, and insulation. Trying to tackle a rat infestation yourself often proves ineffective and can even be dangerous, as off-the-shelf products are rarely powerful or targeted enough. You need professional help to truly get rid of rats and protect your property, your family, or your business.

Who We Are
Our Responsible & Thorough Rat Control Process
At Moorlander Pest Control, our approach to rat control is built on two decades of experience and adherence to the highest industry standards. As proud subscribers to the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of practice, we ensure our methods are ethical, responsible, and minimise risk to non-target species and the environment. Our process begins with a detailed, thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points, harborage areas, food sources, and the extent of the infestation. We then implement a tailored strategy using professional-grade rodenticides in secure, tamper-resistant bait stations, or powerful traps where appropriate. We don't just lay bait; we get to the root of the problem.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of Rats: What to Look For
Even if you haven't seen a rat, they leave clear evidence of their presence. Being able to identify these signs early can prevent a small problem from becoming a major infestation. Look out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings (rat droppings are typically larger, around 1-2cm, and tapered, like a grain of rice).
- Gnaw Marks: Chewing on wood, plastic, cables, or food packaging.
- Scratching Noises: Especially at night, you might hear scratching or scurrying in walls, lofts, or under floorboards.
- Runways: Dark, greasy marks along skirting boards or walls where rats regularly travel.
- Nests: Shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden areas.
- Odour: A distinct, musky smell, particularly noticeable in enclosed areas.
If you've noticed any of these signs, it's time to call in the professionals.
