"Ernest not only resolved the rat problem but also sorted a drain inspection that identified how the rat was getting in, and arranged mesh protection for the solar panels. Superb professional service."

Know the signs
Signs you might have a problem.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a quick chat — early is always cheaper and easier than late.
Scratching, scurrying or thumping in the loft or walls — usually worst at night
Small dark droppings near food, behind appliances or along skirting boards
Gnaw marks on packaging, pipes, cables or timber
A musky, ammonia-like smell that won't shift
Greasy smudge marks along walls or pipework where rodents travel
Pets suddenly fixated on a corner, cupboard or floorboard
FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
How quickly can you come out?
Often the same day, and usually within a day or two. Ring or WhatsApp us and we'll give you a realistic time.
Is it safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We only use professional products and we place everything in tamper-resistant stations or out of reach. We'll walk you through exactly where things are before we leave.
What does a rat or mouse job usually cost?
The initial treatment is a fixed price with no hidden extras. If any further visits are needed, we'll agree the cost with you upfront before any work is done.
Do I need to leave the house?
No. The work is clean and discreet. You can carry on as normal — most clients don't even take a day off.
Will they come back?
Not if we proof properly. Part of every job is showing you the entry points and either sealing them ourselves or telling you exactly what needs doing.
