Common Signs of Rat Activity Central London

  • Gnaw Marks

    Rats like to gnaw their way through most materials, creating access points and collecting materials for nests.

    Check around food and bin areas if you think you may have spotted or heard gnawing, as these spots can harbour rat activity.

  • Droppings

    Common rat droppings look dark brown or black, roughly around 12-18mm in length. Often shiny when freshly laid.

    Droppings often smell strong and musty, a giveaway if you can’t necessarily spot the droppings themselves.

  • Smear Marks 

    These dark greasy stains along skirting boards, entry points & other surfaces are common signs of a rat problem. 

    This is a collection of dirt and grime that collects in the rats fur over time.

  • Strong Odours

    Rats leave a potent, ammonia-like smell in areas frequently visited or nested in, due to a combination of urine and faeces.

    The smell of a dead rat is putrid and often compared to the stench of rotting cabbage which can last for weeks.

Emergency Rat Control Central London

Rats can spread harmful diseases and cause sickness through their hair, droppings and bodily fluids like saliva and urine.
If you've spotted a rat or are concerned that an infestation may be emerging, contact our emergency callout line for rapid rat control in Central London.

    Amazing service by Daren. Did the checks very detailed and communicated to the team. Asked about the issues and how he can assist us. Also on his previous visit he went out of his way and helped with the door issue we had as one of our team members was stuck in the toilet. He opened the door for us and let the team member out. Great service
