The Steps of Our Rat Removal in London

The Panther Pest rat exterminator will do a full property inspection before starting the procedure. He will use advanced pest control equipment to detect all rodent activity in narrow places.

*We also offer commercial rat extermination in London.
Afterwards, the technician will seal all entry points using sealants, wire wool, and expanding foam. He will also place traps around the property and if the infestation is severe, poison might also be used. Please, keep in mind that the technician will seal only rodent-sized holes. For anything larger than that, you will need to call a handyman. The same goes for our squirrel control service and mice extermination .

You’ll discuss one follow up visit to take the bait boxes, traps, or replace them if necessary. In case there are dead rats, the exterminator will remove the dead rodents.

The rat exterminator will also advise you about how to prevent future London infestation in your home or office.

Note: A rat treatment can take up to 3 weeks to be fully effective. However, if we identify the high activity areas early on, results will be noticeable sooner.

About Rats

1. Roughly 50% of the Norway rat population harbours the Weils disease, which they spread through their urine. Contamination results in flu-like symptoms, as well as kidney failure and jaundice. In some cases, the disease can even be a cause of death, as with Olympic gold medallist Andy Holmes.

2. Norway rats are very agile, as they can perform both vertical (up to 77 cm) and horizontal jumps (more than 120 cm).

3. Rats are born with long incisor teeth, which continue to grow longer and longer throughout their lifetime. To ease this growth and wear their teeth down, they must constantly gnaw at whatever they can. Of course, this tends to cause a lot of problems for us, considering they usually chomp through pipes and wires.

4. The most profuse species of rat in the entirety of the United Kingdom is the common brown rat, also known as the Norway rat. These critters are usually found within burrows and in sewage systems.

5. Rats are very good swimmers. In fact, they are able to get into your bathroom by swimming the entire way to the toilet through the sewers. Rats can hold their breath underwater for 3 minutes. When their head is above the water, they are able to swim for 3 days without stopping.

6. When tickled, rats release ultra-sonic sound which is their way of laughing. In that aspects, rats are not a lot different than people, their brain reacts the same way as the humans’ when the rodents are being tickled. The area in the brain that gets stimulated during a tickle in both –  people and rats, is called somatosensory cortex.
