Rat Control in Central London

Signs of rat activity include droppings, scratching noises, gnaw marks, damaged food packaging and dark, greasy marks along walls or regular routes. You may also spot rats around bins, gardens or drains.

These signs can be confused with other rodent activity. If you’ve seen a rat or keep noticing fresh evidence, a professional inspection can help confirm what’s present, where the activity is concentrated and how rats may be getting in.
