Mice & Rats Control in Essex, UK
Rats, like mice, are incredibly intelligent creatures that thrive in both home and commercial environments. And while they can make adorable pets, they can also be abhorrent pests, as a rat infestation can be detrimental to both you and your property.
Amateur use of poison and traditional mouse traps is no longer the most effective, nor the safest form of rat control. They take more effort to continuously check, can pose a threat to children and pets, and poisoned carcasses can begin to rot in unreachable locations. Once you’ve experienced the smell of a rotting rat carcass you’ll know that it is something to be avoided at all costs, especially as most of the time the rodent will have scurried away to an impossible place to reach to expire, meaning you have to put up with a lingering, highly unpleasant smell for weeks.
How Did I Get Mice and Rats?
Mice can enter your home, condo, or apartment through cracks and holes. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime! Rats being larger will need larger openings to gain access. Both Mice & Rats need food, water, and warmth. When the weather turns colder, these rodents seek warm shelter. Once inside with food, water, and warmth, they reproduce quickly.
Rat Pest Control in London:
Rats, among other rodents, are a major issue for people living in London. Unfortunately, due to the abundance of food, shelter and water, it is estimated that there are over 18,000,000 rats in London! Therefore, the likelihood of London homes experiencing rat infestations is incredibly high. If you suspect you have a rat problem, it is imperative to take measures to try and keep this population down.
The guaranteed method of rat control is to enlist the professional services of a pest control expert, like Saxon Pest Control. Our solutions are not only proven to be effective, but they are also safe and carried out to the highest professional standard.
Why Is It So Difficult To Get Rid Of Mice and Rats?
Mice & Rats are very fast. Rats are instinctively wary of things new to their environments such as traps and traps and bait. There are a number of rodent repellent solutions available and honestly, these work marginally at best. To remove rodents all entrances must be identified and properly sealed. Then all rodents must be exterminated with a combination of rodenticides and snap traps. Due to the health risk, a professional pest control service experienced in rodent extermination is the best solution.

Common Pests We Eradicate
Some of the most common pest infestations we have to deal with in this industry include bed bugs, mice and rats. We handle most creatures requiring control that can, unfortunately, invade your home or business place.
Whether you have a rat population in your London home or on your business premises or are even just being cautious so as to avoid an infestation altogether, knowing how to spot a rat and the signs of an infestation is essential. Not only will this help you to know what you are dealing with, but it will give you the knowledge you need to identify problems early and get them treated as soon as possible.
Rats vary in colour, but they usually have brown or grey fur, with a light underside. Their tail, which is only slightly shorter than the length of their head and body, is also two-toned, with a dark upper and light lower side.
Whilst their eyes and ears are small, their teeth grow by up to 12mm every year, and their keen sense of taste makes them a talented pest when it comes to identifying foods and unusual compounds, such as poisons, even in low amounts.
As omnivorous pests, rats enjoy starch and protein if given the choice, but they will eat vegetables, fish, meat, weeds, crustaceans, earthworms, nuts and fruits, as well as cereals. This means any unsealed (and in some cases, even sealed) food is at risk of contamination if you have a rat population nearby.
The most common rat is the brown rat, and they can breed 5-8 times per year, producing up to 15 babies each time.
Although black rats are less common, they can still be a nuisance if your home or business is located near a port. Furthermore, black rats can reproduce 3-12 times yearly with 6-8 babies at a time.
The quick detection guide below will help you to determine if you have these unwanted guests in your home or business premises.
- Droppings – dark brown in colour and shaped like a grain of rice.
- Tracks – due to their poor eyesight but good sense of smell rats tend to follow the same route to and from their nests and they leave dirty and greasy rub marks behind.
- Chewed items – they use shredded soft items to make their nests so shredded paper, cardboard and material debris could indicate an infestation.
- Teeth marks and holes –well known for chewing through anything from wood to electrical wire, if you find something that looks like it’s been chewed then you are likely to have rats nearby.
- Smell – rats themselves are quite clean animals but the urine they leave can cause a build-up of odour if not cleaned up. This has often been described as smelling of ammonia.
- You see mice & rats or other rodents
- Cupboards and pantries have mouse droppings or rodent excrement
- You may hear mice scratching in the walls
- You notice electrical wires are chewed
