Fixed Price Guarantee
Certified & insured

One fixed price, no surprises

From £258, all visits included

One fixed price for the whole job, including VAT, agreed before we start. Every follow-up visit is covered until the rats are gone, so the bill never grows.

Kept out for good

We don’t stop at the rats you can see. We find every way they’re getting in and seal it, drains included, so they don’t come back.

Safe for children and pets

Our bait stations are tamper-resistant, so children and pets can’t open them. Everything we use is approved for homes, and we never use glue traps.

Ben came in and quickly located how they were gaining entry, and dealt with the problem very quickly and professionally. There is only one charge, so there are no hidden charges for extra visits.

How We Tackle a Rat Infestation

We inspect the property thoroughly, checking wall cavities, under concrete, behind appliances, in loft insulation, and in drains as needed. The colony is ethically treated with professional-grade rodenticide and strategically-placed traps. We never use glue traps, which are an inhumane method of disposal and illegal in the UK. If there’s anything you need to do before we arrive, we’ll tell you in advance.

We continue to monitor the situation over follow-up visits to ensure the population declines, after which we seal every entry point we've found, including fitting rat blockers to drainage if needed. An established infestation usually takes two or three visits over a few weeks. Drain problems can take longer, and we’ll tell you upfront if that’s likely.

If you run a food business, a rat sighting in a prep or storage area is a serious compliance and health and safety risk. We are BPCA-certified and provide full documentation of our treatment process for your records. To protect your reputation, we arrive in unmarked vehicles and work with complete discretion.

Why Rats are Dangerous

Rats carry Weil's disease and Seoul hantavirus, both of which are spread through contact with their urine and droppings, and can cause serious illness. That risk, combined with how fast they breed, is why a rat problem can so quickly spiral out of control.

 

How Rats Get In

Brown rats, the most common species in UK homes and businesses, are strong burrowers, climbers and swimmers. A young one can squeeze through a gap the size of a 50p coin. They're also capable of travelling through drainage systems and entering a property via cracked pipes, displaced joints, or even a damaged toilet connection.

If you’ve dealt with rats before and they’ve returned, they are almost certainly entering via your drains. A CCTV survey can confirm this.

 

Why DIY Treatment Rarely Helps

Rats are wary of anything unfamiliar in their environment, so they will avoid poorly placed traps and bait. They also nest out of sight, so what you can find rarely reflects the size of the population behind the wall.

Even if you successfully curb the infestation, it will just be replaced by another if nothing is done about their entryways.
