Avon Rat Control

Rats are often seen in the UK. They may be an issue inside or outside, although rats are typically only a serious problem if they are inside your home or business. Rats can spread diseases such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, so it is critical to take care of a suspected rat problem as quickly as possible. This is particularly essential if the rats are suspected to be in your kitchen or some other area where you store food.

There are a variety of techniques to handle a rat infestation. Traps can be utilised, either triggered traps in specified areas where you know rats will pass, or bait traps which lure rats into them. Poison is also frequently used, although it’s recommended that poison is only used as a last resort outside due to the risk to other wildlife due to secondary poisoning. Another effective method is to eliminate the rat’s food source and entry to an area. This can be tricky as rats may have several methods of getting access, but by obstructing these they could be stopped from getting into buildings. Taking away their food sources is also effective, especially if they are feeding on food that you leave out for other animals.

Specialist pest control companies will be able to survey the building and identify the most effective ways of controlling a rat infestation. This may generally include several visits over a brief period to set and then remove traps.
