Rat Removal in Dudley

The primary danger posed by rats around a property is their ability to carry and spread diseases. While they themselves tend to be mostly immune to the symptoms of Typhus, Leptospirosis, and Weil’s disease (the most common diseases rats carry), when passed onto humans or pets, these can potentially become life-threatening. Alongside spreading disease, rodents can also cause fires or structural damage, contaminate food and ingredient stores, and inflict bite marks or injuries on humans or other animals when enraged.

Due to the complexities posed by rodent control, we recommend that you contact our rat control Dudley team to assist you with removal within the area. Call for help on 01384 386 949.

Centuries of being hunted have ensured that most types of rodents have evolved to avoid human contact where possible. Their size and speed allow them to make a quick getaway when required and fit within tight spaces where they cannot be followed. Our rat removal Dudley team uses traps and bait to ensure that rats are caught efficiently and humanely.

Rodents leave behind evidence of their presence around the location they have chosen to occupy, including your home or business. Below are common signs of a rat infestation:

• You may see rats running around during the day. Rats are typically nocturnal creatures, so if you see them during daylight hours, it is likely that there is a large population of them.
• You may find rat droppings in your home. Rat droppings are small and pellet-shaped.
• You may hear noises coming from your walls or ceilings, as rats tend to make a lot of noise while they are scurrying around.
• You may notice damage to your walls, floors, or furniture, as rats like to gnaw on things.
• You may smell a musky odour in your home. The rats’ urine causes this and indicates a large population.

If you’ve seen any of these signs around your home or business, don’t hesitate to contact our professional rat pest control team in Dudley.
