Expert Rat Removal For Homes And Businesses
Rats are possibly one of the most terrifying rodents that you can see in your home or business premises. Like mice and other rodents, rats have incisors that don’t have roots, meaning these teeth keep growing all their lives. To keep them at a reasonable size, rats gnaw almost constantly, causing structural damage that can be expensive to repair.
If rats chew through live wires, they can even cause electrical fires. They are also a health risk, as rats carry a range of diseases and parasites that can spread to humans and pets. If they eat or even go near your food, they can contaminate it, causing food poisoning and other health issues.
In the UK, two types of rats are found in the wild. Brown rats are the most common and largest species, but black rats can also enter homes in some cases. Both species are incredibly destructive and need to be removed from your property quickly.

How Arrow Pest Management Gets Rid Of Rats
To ensure rats are removed safely and quickly, you need expert pest control from Arrow Pest Management. Our team understands rat behaviour and can provide you with fast, effective solutions.
Because rats are neophobic, they are scared of new objects, meaning they will avoid rat traps and poison when left in their path. Rats are also nocturnal, meaning they’re more active at night, so it can be hard to find them and ensure the infestation is completely eradicated. With our expertise and understanding of rats, we can carry out an effective rat control treatment that removes all rodents, nests, droppings and other detritus.
Once the rats are gone, we can provide you with expert advice and pest proofing to ensure that the rats can’t return. So, if you notice signs of rat activity, such as rat droppings, scurrying noises and paw prints on dirty or dusty surfaces, then you need Arrow Pest Management. Contact us today to find out more.

Pest control FAQs
Why Do Rats Come Indoors?
Rats usually come inside if they’re looking for shelter and food. If there are obvious entry points, such as holes in the walls, then rats will make the most of them and head into your property in search of food and somewhere to build a nest away from the elements and predators.
Will Rats Leave If There's No Food?
While rats will eventually move away from an area if there is no food, it can take a long time for them to leave. Rats are hardy creatures that eat almost everything, so they can survive on products that we consider rubbish. So, even small amounts of food in the vicinity will allow rats to remain on your property.
Should I Be Worried If I See A Rat In My Garden?
Seeing a rat in your garden isn’t necessarily grounds for concern, especially if it is just one rat. However, it’s important to remember that rats are always looking for shelter and food sources, so if they find a way into your building, they will make themselves at home. Rats leave pheromone trails to alert other rats and encourage them to follow, so what starts off as one sighting could quickly become a major rat infestation.
Do Rats Smell?
Individually, rats are very clean creatures that don’t emit a strong smell. Unfortunately, where there are large rat infestations, there will usually be a strong smell due to the presence of rat droppings and urine.
What Is The Most Effective Rat Control Method?
The best way to remove rats permanently is to work with experienced pest control experts like Arrow Pest Management.
