Rat Pest Control
Looking for rat pest control services in Brighton, Worthing and the surrounding areas? Look no further! Here at Pest Stop Boys we’re experts in rat pest control – read on to discover why you should choose us for both domestic and commercial rat removal services.
We’ve been offering residential and commercial rat pest control services throughout East and West Sussex for years: a service underpinned not only by local expertise, but also by professional British Pest Control Association accreditation. We pride ourselves on our range of control methods – including humane and environmentally-friendly solution which we use whenever possible – as well as our discreet services and rapid response times.
We know that when you call in rodent pest control, you want the problem resolved as quickly and as quietly as possible – and that’s our speciality.
Spotting signs of rats in your property is distressing. Left unchecked, these vermin can also be a huge risk to both your health and your property.
Rats can carry viruses and bacteria that lead to salmonella, hantavirus, leptospirosis and other diseases. They can also host ticks, mites and fleas, which can cause harm to humans and animals alike.
The damage rats can cause to your property can also be significant. Because their strong front teeth never stop growing, they need to gnaw on objects to keep them at the right length – and these objects can include the very structure of your property. They’ll also chew through wires and bite their way through drywall and insulation. They can damage roofing and foundations in their bid to find the perfect nesting spot.
Calling in rat pest control services is vital before too much damage is done.
No two rat pest control issues are the same, which is why we tailor our services depending on the location and severity of your rat problem. We start by inspecting your property to understand entry points, rat numbers and any damage caused, before deciding which type of treatment is most appropriate.
These treatments may include traps, baits and sealing entry points: we’ll choose humane, environmentally-friendly options where we can, and we’ll work to minimise the impact on the property’s genuine inhabitants.
Residential and commercial properties will often have different requirements when it comes to professional rat control – and we’re well-versed in handling both types of callout across East and West Sussex.
Because rats are more active at night, it’s often easier to spot signs of activity rather than the rodents themselves. Look out for droppings – dark brown or black tapered pellets a little larger than a grain of rice – and gnaw marks on wiring, cables, woodwork or personal belongings. You may spot holes in the ground outside your house (rats love to burrow), or torn-up insulation and other soft materials they use to build their nests.
We offer a range of safe, pet-friendly treatment options to rid your home of rats, including traps and various bait options.
For businesses – particularly those in the food, drink and hospitality sectors – rat problems need to be addressed with urgency. Not only can their presence deter customers (and result in significant negative word of mouth), it can also cause illness, spoil stock and contravene health and safety regulations.
If you spot signs of rat activity on your business premises, you’ll want to eliminate the problem before it grows – and you’ll want to do so discreetly, too. With our unmarked vans and our rapid response times, Pest Stop Boys are here to help.
Not only will we help you deal with existing rat infestations, we’ll help you to avoid similar problems in the future.
There are various things you can do to reduce the likelihood of rat issues: things like checking for potential entry points and sealing them, being aware of the first signs of rat problems, and ensuring that waste is managed properly and food sources are stored correctly.
For both commercial and residential properties, we offer ongoing pest management plans: pest proofing services on a schedule of your choice that give you peace of mind going forward.
