Camberley Rat Control

Rats are frequently seen in the United Kingdom. They can be an issue inside or outside, although rats are often only problematic if they’re in the home or business. Rats can spread diseases such as Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, so it is vital to manage a suspected rat problem as quickly as possible. This is especially vital if the rats are suspected to be in your kitchen or some other area where food is stored.

There are a number of solutions to control 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 advised that poison is only used as a last resort in external areas because of 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 tricky as rats may have several ways of gaining access, but by blocking these they may be discouraged from coming into buildings. Eliminating their food sources is likewise effective, especially if they are feeding on food that you leave out for other animals.

Qualified pest control companies can survey the property and identify the most effective ways of managing a rat infestation. This may usually include several visits over a brief period to set and then remove traps.
