Rat Control in Lincolnshire, covering Lincoln, Grimsby, Louth, Horncastle, Skegness & everywhere in between!
Rats can cause a real problem in your home or business premises. Rats love causing damage to the structure, chewing through drains, supporting structures, electrics and pipes but they also carry and spread lots of diseases and dangerous Bacteria. Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, rat bite fever and many more which can cause you and your pets serious illness or even death. This contaminates your house or business and food items.
The Brown Rat (Rattus Norvegicus)
It is known as a commensal rodent which translates to “sharing man’s table” Which is very apt as they need our presence to live.
They are usually a brown or grey colour about 20 cm long. Their incisor teeth are constantly growing that’s why they gnaw to continue to wear down their teeth. They are usually a nocturnal animal but when seen in the daytime it often means numbers are so much higher. They use their sense of touch with fine hairs to navigate themselves in the dark and will travel around the edges of buildings. Rats have something called Neophobia which is frightened of anything new that can last for up to 7 days. A female rat will have a litter once a month of 10 to 12 young and will have at least 5 litters a year. A female rat becomes an adult in 3 months and 2 rats in a year can breed up to 300

Signs of Rats
-
Noises and scratching heard in your loft or under your floorboards or in the walls
-
Droppings which are dark, tapered about the size of a peanut or larger and often found in clumps.
-
Damage from items chewed, rats’ teeth are constantly growing at a rate of up to 2mm per week and therefore they need to constantly chew to wear them down. Only steel is strong enough to stop them! Rats will chew wood, doors, skirting boards, floorboards, cables and pipes.
-
Rats have oily, dirty fur and will often leave smear marks through entrance holes or along the edges of walls or pipes as they usually run along the edge of the walls.
-
if rats are seen in the daytime it usually means, there is a big problem as only the immature ones get forced out to eat when its more dangerous as rats are nocturnal.

Mouse Control Services from Pest Detective
We offer a fast response and survey of your house/business premises to work out how they are getting in. This investigation usually reveals obvious building defects.
Once investigated, we will implement an action plan straight away using a variety of traps and rodenticides or other methods depending on each individual situation. Rodenticides are not legal in many cases except the house mouse, this is to stop secondary poisoning of other non targeted wildlife like owls and other predators.
Unlike many companies we don’t just kill the initial problem we stop them coming back again with thorough investigation of your property and fixing the problem that is letting them in.
We offer the very best service at a competitive price.
Rat Treatment FAQ

Are Rats dangerous?
Rats are rarely physically dangerous and will always try and escape from you! That can mean they jump at you and over your shoulder if you corner one.

In most cases we can by carefully surveying your home working out how they have got in and repairing the damage so they can’t get in again.
