How Does Pest Control Get Rid of Rats?

At RS Pest Control, we understand how unsettling a rat infestation can be for your home or business. Rats are not only a nuisance, but they also pose health risks and can cause damage to property. If you suspect that rats are living in or around your property, you must act quickly and effectively. But how does Pest Control get rid of rats? In this article, we will explain the professional methods we use to tackle these pests and why calling experts like RS Pest Control is the best way to gain control of your home. 

Why Are Rats a Problem?

Rats multiply rapidly and are adaptable to their environment, with the ability to squeeze through very small gaps. They can chew through wiring, insulation, wood, and even pipes, causing hazards within the home, leading to costly repairs. Furthermore, rats carry several diseases which can be transmitted to humans directly, or through fleas and ticks. For homeowners and business owners, ignoring a rat infestation can affect health and safety, as well as cause damage to the property. 

This is why early detection and prompt intervention are crucial. Professional pest control services can not only remove existing infestations but also help prevent future problems by identifying entry points and securing your property against these persistent pests.

How RS Pest Control Targets Rats?

At RS Pest Control, our approach to dealing with a rat infestation is thorough and tailored to your specific situation. The process begins with a detailed inspection of your property to identify any entry points, nests, food sources, and the overall extent of the infestation. This step is crucial because effective rat control is not just about eliminating the issue, but understanding their behaviour and removing sources of food and other conditions that attract them. Once the risks and infestation areas are identified, we implement a combination of control methods.

Trapping

  • We use high-quality trapping methods, strategically placed where rats are the most active, such as along walls or feeding zones. This trapping allows us to reduce the population quickly and monitor ongoing activity. 

 

Rodenticides 

  • In some cases, we may utilise professional rodenticides that are effective but safe to use in your environment. Our team applies these baits in secured areas designed to minimise risk to any children and pets. Rodenticides must only be used responsibly by trained professionals to avoid harm and ensure compliance with UK regulations.

Proofing and Prevention 

  • Eliminating the current infestation is only part of the solution. To prevent rats from returning, we recommend proofing your property by sealing entry points like gaps around doors, windows, and pipes. Our experts can advise on the best measures or offer proofing and deterrent services to make your home or business less inviting to rodents in the long term. 

 

Monitoring and Advice 

  • After the initial treatment, we offer support for you and your home going forward. We provide ongoing monitoring to catch any signs of reinfestation early, offering peace of mind that your property remains rat-free. By offering information about rat behaviour and prevention techniques, we can ensure a pest-free environment.
