Rats

​

​Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans, normally through their urine, which they continuously distribute on their feet. Everything they touch and everywhere they go they run the risk of spreading the following diseases:

Leptospirosis or Weil's disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii and Hantavirus.

​​Rats can inflict a great amount of structural damage. They can cause serious fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and even death by chewing through gas pipes. The insurance sector have estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.

​Property owners have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep premises rodent free, or, if rodents pose a threat to health or property, to report infestations to the local authority.

We use a variety of methods to control Rats, both chemical and non-chemical. We can also provide you with information and advice to help minimise the risk of any future infestations including how to proof your property, how to spot any weaknesses in the structure and good housekeeping routines.
