The Dangers Of A Rat Infestation
Rats are a major health risk for homes and business premises, as they spread diseases including Leptospirosis, also called Weil’s disease, Hantavirus, Salmonellosis and more. If rats get access to your food, they could contaminate it and cause food poisoning.
As well as being a health hazard, like other rodents, including squirrels and mice, rats also cause extensive damage to properties, as rats gnaw almost constantly to keep their teeth down.

Get Rid Of Rats Fast With Pest Relief
There are two species of rats found in the UK. Brown rats are the most common species, and they have fuzzy brown hair. Black rats are less common and are often found near bodies of water, such as rivers and the coast. These sleek black rats are slightly smaller than brown rats, and have larger looking tails and ears in comparison to their bodies.
Whatever rat species you’re dealing with, or if you have other rodents like mice or squirrels infesting your London property, you need fast, effective rat control services. Pest Relief can quickly and safely get rid of rats and block their entry points to stop them from returning.

Rat Control Bromley FAQs
The best way to eradicate rats is to work with a professional pest control provider like Pest Relief. Our team are RSPH Level 2 Certified, so we have access to rodenticides that aren’t available to the general public. Combined with our understanding of rat behaviour, these tools mean that we can quickly and effectively remove rats and stop them from returning. Alongside the rats themselves, we will also remove all droppings, urine stains, rat nests and any other debris. To fully eliminate your rat infestation, contact Pest Relief.
While rats individually are hygienic, a rat infestation will cause a musty smell due to the presence of copious rat droppings and urine. As such, if you notice rats, then you need to make sure that you work with a rat control expert as soon as possible.
Rat control costs vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the infestation, the number of droppings there are and any access issues we might find. Pest Relief offers cost-effective rat control services that are designed to offer you exceptional value and ensure that your rat infestation is gone for good.

Common signs of rat activity include chew marks, small footprints, rat droppings and scratching sounds, particularly at night. Rats are scared of humans and nocturnal, but you might still see them on occasion, which is a very clear indicator that you have a rat problem.
While rats and mice are both rodents, rats are usually larger in size than mice and have shorter, hairless tails. Mice have longer, hairier tails and are generally considered to be cuter in appearance. The two species also differ when it comes to behaviour. Mice are curious and love to investigate new things, whereas rats are neophobic and will avoid new objects in their paths. Both rodents need to be removed quickly, so if you see any signs of either species, you should book professional pest control services as soon as possible.
