In 4 steps, you can get rid of rats in London

1. Provide your postcode to book rat control services

2. A rat exterminator in your area will inspect the infestation

3. Traps will be set for the rats and their entrances will be blocked

4. It will no longer be necessary for you to deal with rats

This is how we deal with rat infestations

There are 3 main aspects of the way we approach pest control treatments,of course, a bit different for every pest. Our pest control services are not hourly-based, which means that the rat exterminator will stay until everything is done and meets our fantastic quality standard. It all starts with...

  1. Property pest inspection

    2. This is an essential part of the service. The pest technician will carefully inspect the place in order to pinpoint all the holes and cavities that the rats are using as entry/exit points.


  2. Blocking rats entry points

    3. The idea is to cut the indoor access. That is why the London rat exterminator will block all rodent-size holes and cavities using expanding foam, sealants, and wool wire. Keep in mind that this applies for rat-sized holes only. Anything larger should be handled by a handyman instead.


  3. Placing rat baits

    4. When all entry points are sealed, there might be rats trapped inside the property. That is why the pest technician will place baits at key locations in order to capture the remaining rats.

Rat pest control FAQ

How much does a rat exterminator cost in London?
The average cost of a rat exterminator in London is around £180, with prices ranging from £120 to £240. Price depends on the size of the infestation, the type of treatment needed, and the size of the house. 
How can I stop rats from entering my home?
There are all sorts of things that you can do against infestation from rats. For example, never let your garden become overgrown. Also, make sure that you don't leave food exposed overnight. And if there are any evident entrances that the rats can use, then consider what can be done about them.
How long does it take for the treatment to take effect?
It depends on the size of the rats and how often they will eat from the baits that were placed by the technician. We can't say for sure, really. They need to eat from the product at least 2 or 3 times in order to become affected.
How to get rid of rats in attic fast?
To get rid of rats in the attic fast, locate and seal all entry points to stop more from getting in. Set multiple snap or electronic traps along walls and near droppings, baited with peanut butter or dried fruit. Remove food sources, clear clutter, and consider calling a pest control professional if the infestation is severe or persistent.
Do councils charge to get rid of rats?
Rat removal can be charged by councils, depending on the council and the situation. Pest control services are increasingly being charged by councils, and their prices vary based on the pest, the extent of the infestation, and the council's pricing policies.
How long does it take an exterminator to get rid of rats?
The extermination of rats usually takes 2-3 weeks, but larger infestations can take up to 3 months. Initial treatment may take several hours, including inspection and placement of traps or poison. 
How can I keep the rats away from my garden?
First of all, is your garden overgrown? Does it provide access to food and shelter for the rats? Consider these aspects first. On the other hand, you can resort to planting some mint, which is a natural rat repellent. If this doesn't help, then you might want to resort to baits and traps instead.
How to remove rats from home naturally?
To remove rats naturally, seal all entry points and use strong smells they dislike, such as peppermint oil, ammonia, or crushed garlic, placed near rat activity. Keep your home clean, store food in sealed containers, and eliminate water sources to make it less inviting. You can also use humane traps to catch and release them far from your home.
