Rats

Rats are one of the most pervasive and persistent pests affecting homes and businesses across the UK. Known for their rapid reproduction rates and adaptability to various environments, rats can pose significant challenges to deal with.

The Dangers of Rat Infestations

• Health Risks: Rats are notorious carriers of numerous diseases, such as Weil’s disease, salmonella, and bubonic plague, which can be transmitted to humans through their urine, droppings, and saliva. Their presence can also exacerbate allergies and asthma, particularly in children.
• Property Damage: Rats have strong teeth that allow them to chew through almost anything, including wood, plastic, and even mild steel. This behaviour can lead to severe structural damage, as rats gnaw through water pipes and electrical wiring, potentially causing floods or fires.
• Contamination: Rats contaminate food supplies and preparation areas through droppings, urine, and hair. In businesses, especially those in the food service and hospitality industries, this can lead to significant financial loss and reputational damage due to health violations.

How Orkin UK Addresses Rat Infestations

Inspection

The first step in any effective rat control strategy is a thorough inspection. Our Orkin Pros assess your property to identify signs of infestation, potential entry points, and the conditions that may be attracting rats.

Customised Treatment Plans

Based on the inspection findings, we’ll develop a tailored treatment plan that may include the use of rodenticides, traps, and contact dust. Our approach is always humane and conforms to the highest standards of pest control ethics and practices.

Exclusion Techniques

To prevent future infestations, Orkin UK implements proofing measures that help seal entry points that rats may use to access a building. This includes filling holes and gaps in the foundation, walls, and around utility pipes that are large enough for rats to squeeze through.

Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance

Rat control is an ongoing battle, especially in areas prone to infestation. Orkin UK provides routine follow-up visits to ensure that the implemented measures are effective and to make any necessary adjustments. This proactive monitoring helps safeguard your property against future infestations.

Education and Prevention
