Rat Control Leeds

Rats are one of the most common — and most serious — pest problems for Leeds homes and businesses. They breed quickly, spread disease, and can cause real damage by gnawing through wires, pipes and woodwork. Our fully trained technicians find how they’re getting in, remove them safely, and proof your property so they can’t come back.

Signs of rats in your property

Not sure if you have a problem? Look out for:

• Droppings (dark, up to 14mm) along walls, under sinks or in lofts
• Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings or under floors
• Gnaw marks on wood, cables, packaging or pipework
• A musky, ammonia-like smell
• Greasy smear marks along skirtings and runs
• Burrows or nests in gardens, decking or outbuildings

Why rats need dealing with quickly

• Rats carry diseases including Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), Salmonella and E. coli
• Gnawed electrical cables are a serious fire risk
• They contaminate food and food-preparation areas
• Populations grow extremely fast if left untreated
• For businesses, a rat sighting can mean failed hygiene inspections

How we treat rats in Leeds

We start with a thorough survey to confirm the activity and locate entry points. We then deploy the most appropriate, safe control method — targeted rodenticide in secure bait stations, trapping, or both — and carry out proofing to seal the gaps rats use to get in. We finish with a follow-up visit to confirm the problem is gone and advise you on keeping your property rat-free.
