Bury Rat Control

Rats are common in the United Kingdom. They could be a problem inside or outside, although rats are often only problematic if they’re inside your home or business. Rats can spread diseases such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, so it is essential to deal with a suspected rat problem immediately. This is particularly crucial if the rats are suspected to be in your kitchen or some other area where food is stored.

There are a number of techniques to manage a rat infestation. Traps can be utilised, either triggered traps in specified areas where you know rats will pass, or bait traps which attract rats into them. Poison is also popular, although it’s recommended that poison is only used as a last resort in external areas due to the risk to other animals due to secondary poisoning. Another effective method is to remove the rat’s food source and entry to an area. This can be difficult as rats may have several ways of getting access, but by blocking these they can be stopped from getting into buildings. Removing their food sources is also effective, particularly if they are feeding on food that you leave out for domestic pets.

Professional pest control companies will be able to survey the building and identify the most effective methods of managing a rat infestation. This will usually involve several visits over a brief period to set and then remove traps.
