Rat Control in London (including mice and other rodents)

Even though they may seem harmless, house mice and rats are a major source of diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and campylobacter; and have been known to cause structural damage to buildings by gnawing and burrowing through the framework. Food contaminated by mice and rats is dangerous to eat.
What's more, they breed quickly, and require minimal amounts of food and water to survive. A pea, for instance, can give a house mouse enough food and water for a day.
All is not lost, however, and Pest Control London can help you get rid of any and all house mouse and rat infestations in your home or workplace. Call now to talk to an expert!.

If you suspect you have a rat infestation, call in pest control experts as soon as possible from Pest Control London and we will come and take care of it for you.  You might not have actually seen the rat, as they are nocturnal.  However, there will be tell-tale signs, such as nibbling at furniture, wires or cupboards as well as rat droppings (approximately sultana sized) and oily marks on walls (from their fur coats).  As soon as you notice any of these signs, you should call in pest control professionals straight away.  Rats spread diseases and are generally very unsanitary creatures to have around.

Rat Control
When you get in rat control specialists, they will be able to lay down rat poison or traps to get rid of your rat infestation.  They will also be able to advise you on how to make sure the rats don't come back.  This will likely involve blocking up any entry points and putting grills over ventilation holes and also, cleaning up any unsanitary conditions so that there are no food sources available for them to be attracted to.
It will probably take a few days to get rid of the rats as they are naturally suspicious of new sources of food.  It won't be long, however, before they take the bait and are either caught in the trap or the poison takes effect.

Rat Info
The most common sort of rat in the UK is the Brown Rat, also known as a House Rat or Sewer Rat.  They can give birth up to six times a year, and each litter will be made up of six to fourteen baby rats.  It only takes three months for rats to be able to reproduce, so once you have a rat infestation it can quickly get out of control if you do not act fast.
Rats have an extremely strong bite.  It can be very painful if you are bitten by a rat.  Their teeth are so strong that they are able to chew right through aluminium.  Therefore it is better not to try to tackle them head on.

The main difference between rats and mice is their size, with rats being larger of course.  They are both forms of rodents in the muroid superfamily.  Gerbils and hamsters are also muroids, in fact there are six families and thirteen hundred species belonging to the same superfamily.

Rats will eat just about anything, which is why it is important to keep rubbish in bins and make sure it does not overflow.  Cleaning up dog's mess from the garden is also a good idea, because they will also eat that.  Keeping drains unblocked, and sources of water restricted, will also be helpful in not attracting rats.
