PEST CONTROL FOR
RATS IN LONDON
Pest Control London For Rats and Rodents
All major cities in the UK suffer from rodent problems. The high population of these areas means an increase in rubbish and food waste being left on the streets which easily attracts vermin, like rats.
Infestations are common and can be incredibly difficult to deal with, especially in the tight confines of cities like London. A rat infestation could make your property, whether it’s a residential or business building, unsafe for habitation.
Rodent problems don’t go away easily and over the counter solutions aren’t the most effective or efficient way of ridding your building from a rodent invasion. To properly get rid of your rat problem and, more importantly, help to prevent further infestations, it’s always best to hire professionals who have experience in rodent control.
Drain 365 Ltd aren’t just a drainage company. We also specialise in pest control in London, specifically working with businesses and homeowners to eradicate rats from their properties. We all know that vermin are a major health hazard and can carry dangerous diseases as well as cause damage to buildings and inventory, so it is important to deal with the unwanted rodents quickly and effectively.

Professional Rat Exterminators In London
Individually, rodents can be fairly simple to deal with. A couple of traps in some key places and you can quickly deal with one unwanted guest. However, this isn’t really an effective method when it comes to larger scale infestations. In most instances, the main infestation will occur out of easy reach – this can include drain pipes, air conditioning tunnels and sewers. In order to ensure that your property is completely clear of rodent problems, you need to take advantage of reliable rat extermination in London from Drain 365.
Our professional team don’t just work to exterminate the infestation, but we focus on the destruction of the source. By removing the rats’ nest, the vermin have no choice but to relocate. This is an effective way of clearing out the source of infestation without having to focus on killing each of the vermin individually. Once the nest has been cleared, our team will work to deploy multiple traps and specific poisons. We can work to eliminate rat infestations in London by driving rats away from your property permanently with our fast, smart and effective pest control.
Long-Term Rat Poisons For Rodent Problems
The poisons that we use to deal with rat problems in London are not only useful when it comes to killing the rodents. Vermin which are destroyed in inaccessible areas can often cause long-lasting problems if they aren’t dealt with. Our rat poisons dry out the rodent’s body after death. Not only can that prevent any off-putting smells which could hang around for days, or even weeks at a time, but it also limits the spread of any potential diseases the vermin might have been carrying. These can include:
- Salmonellosis – When the rodent comes into contact with food or liquids, it can contaminate them with salmonellosis. The most common symptoms of this illness are diarrhoea, fever, vomiting and can be life-threatening in both the elderly and children.
- Leptospirosis – This is a bacterial disease which rodents can infect water with. It can be transmitted simply by coming into contact with the same water. The symptoms can vary from a mild headache or muscle pains to severe bleeding from the lungs.
- Rat-Bite Fever – This is a rare illness, but one which can be caught by coming into contact with an infected rodent. The symptoms can include red or purple rashes, chills, fevers, vomiting and swollen joints.
Even if you try to use store-bought traps, you are often putting yourself at risk of contagion. The only truly effective way to be sure of a complete eradication of a vermin infestation is to work with a professional extermination team. If you’re suffering with rodent problems, contact our pest control in London before you put yourself at any risk.
Drains Are A Common Source Of Rat Problems
Almost 90% of all rodent infestations are made possible due to defective drains. Rats are incredibly clever creatures and can easily find access through even the smallest gap in your system. Typically, entry points can include open joints and redundant drainage lines – both of which are fairly common in large cities.
Once a rodent infestation has begun, rats are able to reproduce up to 15 times in the space of a year. Every female rodent can give birth to more than 2,000 infants every 12 months, so any rodent problems in London need to be dealt with promptly to prevent the situation from worsening. Resolving these issues quickly and efficiently could save you both time and money, especially if you run a business.
One of the highly effective methods of preventing rats from entering drain pipes are rat blockers. These non-return valves ensure that only waste water exits the property and nothing enters in the opposite direction.
