We’re part of a full home cleaning and pest control brand, so we don’t just get rid of rats; we help you keep your whole home clean, healthy and pest-free afterwards. Our rat control services London customers rely on cover everything from the very first inspection through to long-term prevention, all handled by one local, experienced team.
Because rats and mice often turn up together, we also provide reliable mice control London residents can count on, so you’re never left calling two separate companies. Whether you need rat control London or a mice exterminator London visit, it’s the same trusted team. Whether you’ve spotted a single rat in the garden or you’re hearing scratching in the loft every night, our approach stays the same: fast, safe, and thorough rat control London customers can trust to actually work, not just paper over the problem for a few weeks.
Signs You Need Rat Control London Residents Trust
Rats are cautious animals, so you’ll often hear or see the signs before you see the rat itself. Common warning signs include:
- Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, floors or the loft, especially at night
- Droppings — dark, shiny, and around 12–18mm long
- Chew marks on wood, plastic, electrical cables, or food packaging.
- Greasy smear marks along skirting boards or walls, where rats repeatedly brush past
- A strong, musty odour, particularly in enclosed areas.
- Burrows or disturbed soil in the garden, often near sheds, decking or compost bins
Rats breed quickly; a single pair can produce dozens of offspring within a matter of months — so a small problem rarely stays small for long. This is exactly why so many people search for a rat exterminator near me the moment they notice the first sign, rather than waiting to see if it goes away on its own. It usually doesn’t. Booking a proper rat removal service in London early on is quicker and cheaper than waiting. The same goes for mouse control London or a mice exterminator London visit.
Mice in Your Home? You Need Mice Control London Too
It’s easy to mix up rats and mice. As a rough guide: rats are bigger, with thicker, shorter tails, while mice are smaller with long, thin tails and smaller droppings. Mouse activity also tends to be quicker and quieter than rat scratching.
If you’re not sure which pest you have, that’s what an inspection is for. Our technicians provide trusted mouse exterminator services that London households ask for alongside rat treatments, so whether it’s rats, mice, or both, you’re covered by the same visit. We offer mouse control London and mice control London using the same safe methods as our rat treatments, no need for a separate company.
Our Rat Removal Service London Process — Simple, Safe, Guaranteed
We keep our rat removal service London process straightforward, so you always know what’s happening and why, and the same steps apply if you book us as your mice exterminator London or mouse control London provider instead.
- Free inspection and assessment. A technician checks entry points, nesting areas and food sources, and confirms the scale of the problem.
- Safe, targeted treatment. We use eco-friendly, pet- and child-safe methods wherever possible, placing bait and traps exactly where they’re needed.
- Proofing and prevention. We seal up the gaps and cracks rats have been using to get in, so they can’t come back a few weeks later.
- Follow-up visit. We check that the treatment has actually worked and give you honest advice on keeping rats away for good.
This is the same process behind every one of our rat control services London bookings, whether it’s a small terraced house or a larger commercial site. And because we know rat problems don’t wait for office hours, your local rat exterminator near me is never far away when you need one.
What Affects the Cost of Rat Control London Services
There’s no single fixed price for rat control London jobs, because every property and every infestation is a little different. A few things that affect the cost:
- Size of the property — a flat needs less time than a large house or commercial unit
- Severity of the infestation — a single rat is a smaller job than an established colony
- Location of the problem — indoor, loft, or outdoor/garden work can affect pricing.
- Ongoing needs — a one-off treatment versus a longer contract, whether for rat control services London or as your regular mice exterminator London provider
We keep pricing affordable and transparent, with a free quote before any work begins and no hidden fees added on afterwards. Every rat exterminator near me quote from us is free and obligation-free, and the same fair approach applies to mouse control London and mice control London jobs too. If you’d like an honest price for your property, just call +44 7777 758485, and we’ll talk you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rat control London cost?
Cost depends on the size of your property and how severe the infestation is. Most rat control London jobs are priced after a free inspection, with no hidden fees added afterwards.
How quickly can a rat exterminator near me get rid of rats?
Many infestations show real improvement within the first week, though a full rat removal service London job is usually confirmed with a follow-up visit to make sure the problem hasn’t returned. Same-day and emergency appointments are often available.
What's the difference between rats and mice?
Rats are larger, with thicker, shorter tails, while mice are smaller with long, thin tails and smaller droppings. If you’re not sure which one you’re dealing with, a mice exterminator London technician can confirm it during inspection.
What Are the Early Signs of a Rat Infestation?
The earliest signs are usually scratching noises at night, droppings, and gnaw marks on wood, cables or packaging. Spotting these early and booking rat control services in London quickly helps stop a small problem from becoming a much bigger one.
Are rats dangerous to have in the house?
Yes, rats can spread disease, contaminate food, and gnaw through electrical wiring, which is also a fire risk. Professional rat control London removes this risk safely, rather than leaving it to chance with DIY traps.
Do you also offer mice control London and mouse control London?
Yes, the same technicians handle both rats and mice, so there’s no need to call two different companies. Mice control London and mouse control London use similar inspection, treatment and proofing methods to our rat visits.
Is DIY rat control effective, or should I call a rat exterminator near me?
DIY traps can sometimes deal with a single rat, but they rarely solve a full infestation, since rats breed quickly and are naturally cautious of new objects. A professional rat exterminator near me can find the nest, seal up entry points, and stop rats coming back for good.
Do you cover areas outside London?
Yes, coverage extends across Kent, Sussex and Essex, as well as South East London and towns near Dartford, Bexley and Greenhithe. Rat control London customers and those in nearby Kent, Sussex and Essex towns are served by the same trained team.
Is rat control safe for children and pets?
Yes, eco-friendly and pet-safe methods are used wherever possible, with bait placed well out of reach of children and animals. This is a core part of how every one of our rat control services London jobs is carried out.
Do you provide rat control for businesses as well as homes?
Yes, we provide rat control services London for businesses too, including offices, shops, restaurants and warehouses. Commercial jobs follow the same guarantee and eco-friendly standards as our residential visits.
Do you offer a mice exterminator London service as well as rats?
Yes, our mice exterminator London team uses the same free inspection and eco-friendly approach as our rat treatments, so both pests are covered by one visit and one company.
