Need help with rats?

Rats look for food, water and shelter in homes, gardens and sheds. They gnaw through almost anything and can spread disease. Our technicians trace the source, block it off and clear the rats out.

  • A rat can have up to 10 young every three weeks.
  • A rat can squeeze through a gap just over a centimetre wide, or come straight into your home through a broken sewer pipe.
  • Rats can spread Weil's disease through their urine, and they chew through pipes and electrical cables.

How we get rid of rats

  • Proofing

    We block off holes, pipe entries and routes from the sewer so no new rats can get in.

  • Traps

    Professional traps along their runs and near the nest. Fast results.

  • Locked trap boxes

    Locked rat boxes, safe for kids, pets and your chickens or rabbits.

Sound familiar?

  • Gnaw marks

    Chewed wood, cables, pipes or feed bags in the shed, garage or crawl space.

  • Large droppings

    Dark droppings one to two centimetres long, much bigger than a mouse's.

  • Noises under the floor

    Scratching or scurrying under the floor, in the cavity or above the ceiling, especially at night.

  • Burrows in the garden

    Holes a few centimetres wide under paving, a shed or fence, or by the chicken coop or rabbit hutch.

  • Greasy marks

    Dark smears along walls, pipes and around the edges of holes.

  • Rats out in daylight

    A rat out and about during the day means there's a nest nearby.

Rats in and around your home

  • Rat in the house

    A rat in the house always has a way in. We find it and block it off.

  • Rats in the garden or shed

    Rat holes by the shed or compost heap? We set tamper-proof rat boxes and trace where they're coming from.

  • Rats in the cavity or crawl space

    Scratching in the walls or under the floor? We seal the way in and set boxes along their runs.

We also handle

  • Scratching or squeaking at night

    Under the floor or in the walls: that's their route. We find where they get in.

  • Rat droppings

    Large, dark droppings along walls and in corners. We trace the source and deal with it.

  • A rat in the kitchen or toilet

    Rats sometimes get in through a broken drain. We find the route and close it off.

  • A rat in the crawl space

    Scratching under the floor? We seal the way in and set tamper-proof rat boxes along their runs.

  • Gnawed cables or pipes

    Rats chew through anything. We stop it before it becomes damage.

  • Rats at your business

    Restaurants, storage or offices: discreet, with advice on hygiene and waste.

The Antiplaag approach

  1. Inspect

    We start with a thorough inspection inside and out, mapping signs of activity, entry points, nesting sites and anything that attracts mice or rats.

  2. Identify

    Using our knowledge of rodent behaviour, we establish whether it's mice or rats and what's drawing them in: food, gaps or shelter.

  3. Protect

    We set traps in locked boxes where they'll work best and seal holes and gaps, so they can't get back in or nest again.

Local pest control you can trust

  • Thorough inspection

    Our trained technicians pinpoint the problem, spot anything that could cause trouble later and start the right treatment straight away.

  • A plan that fits

    We explain what's causing the problem and agree a plan for your situation that gets rid of the pests and keeps them away.

  • Always on call

    Call or WhatsApp us day or night and we'll book you in fast.

Questions about rat control

How soon can you come?

Today. Call or message us any time, day or night, and we'll send a technician from near you.

Do rats come from the sewer?

They can. A broken sewer pipe, a loose connection under the floor or an open drain is the quickest way in, sometimes even through the toilet. We find that route and block it off; otherwise the next rat simply gets in the same way.

Can I use rat poison myself?

Not outdoors: since 2023, members of the public can no longer use anticoagulant rat poison outside, and very little is allowed indoors. Poison doesn't tackle the source either. Our technicians use traps in locked boxes and seal the way in.

There's a rat near my chicken coop or rabbit hutch. What should I do?

Call or message us today. Feed and bedding attract rats. We find the burrows and the nest, set traps in locked boxes out of your animals' reach, and show you how to rat-proof the hutch and feed.
