Morden Rat Control

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

There are a variety of methods to deal with a rat infestation. Traps can be used, either triggered traps in particular 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 utilised 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 usage of an area. This can be tricky as rats may have several methods of gaining access, but by obstructing these they may be prevented from coming into buildings. Taking away their food sources is similarly effective, especially if they are feeding on food that you leave out for family pets.

Professional pest control companies can survey the building and identify the most effective methods of managing a rat infestation. This may typically include several visits over a short period to set and then remove traps.
