Damage caused by an uncontrolled rat problem
Rats are persistent and even outside are a risk to the health and safety of your family. Not only do rats carry many transmissible diseases but almost 10% of all house fires are caused by rats chewing household wiring.
Not only can they cause your home to burn down, but rats can:
- damage insulation
- chew through plastic, wood, floor joists, and walls
- cause failure to embankments, retaining walls, and other dirt filled walls through burrowing.

How to control a rat problem
Firstly, make sure all of your food containers are tightly sealed, that bins have secured lids, and any fruit that falls from trees is picked up. These things limit the rats’ food sources.
Our treatment usually involves finding and sealing entry points, setting up bait stations, maintaining baiting stations and thinking ahead to foresee any future issues.
All baiting and trapping is carried out with the best and safest products on the market. These treatments are pet and child safe. Please know that the bait we use as pest controllers are different from those you can buy in a supermarket or hardware store and we are happy to explain the differences and advantages of using a professional product.
Alternatively, you can book your rat control treatment now through our online booking system.
