Rat Control Services

Brown Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans, normally through their urine, including;

• Leptospirosis or Weil’s disease,
• Salmonella,
• Listeria,
• Toxoplasma gondii and
• Hantavirus

Brown Rats can inflict a great amount of structural damage. They can cause serious fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and even death by chewing through gas pipes. The insurance sector have estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.

Brown Rats can ruin an organisation’s reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.

Property owners have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep premises rat and mice free
