How we deliver Rat Control & Rat Proofing Services

Traps from the shop won’t fix a rat problem – you need a professional rat exterminator in London like us. BioActive Pest Control delivers complete rat treatment services in London – fast, thorough, and built to stop infestations at the source. Here’s how we do it:

1. Surveying, Removal & Control

Our professional team will survey your property for any sign of rats – conducting both internal and external inspections to ensure a thorough examination is completed. This is pivotal in uncovering the full extent of the rat problem and in identifying potential rat harbourage areas and access points. Our approach ensures that no area is overlooked, and we can devise an effective, targeted rat elimination and future prevention strategy.

Following the survey you will be provided with a written report and we will propose the best course of action to remove and control rats in the future, to the highest standards.

Our team will set and bait traps, as well as decontaminate your property, while you wait. We take special care not to damage your walls, floors or ceilings. It doesn’t matter how sever the infestation is, we will take care of it for you.

Organic A18 and A24 Traps – We are also one of only 3 rat control companies in London who use the organic A18 and A24 traps!

2. Professional Rat Proofing & Prevention

Rats have an uncanny habit of finding their way into properties through all manner of entry points including:

Gaps around your pipes
Airbricks
Gaps underneath eaves
Gaps around your window and door frames.

Rat-proofing is essential to preventing future problems, as it prevents rats from re-entering your property and returning to their preferred nesting area.

We will identify the root of the problem and find all the openings that rats use to enter your property. These are then sealed using steel, mesh and other strong materials, making your property 100% rat-proof.

We have full liability insurance which provides peace of mind for our staff, customers and the general public. We pride ourselves in providing the highest level of customer service possible and we aim to leave every client feeling happy with the service provided.

3. Follow-up rat control visits

Once the initial service is complete a detailed inspection report will be provided to you. Our pest controller will then arrange a convenient time to carry out a follow-up visit. We generally need to carry out 3 follow-up visits after the initial service has been completed. These follow-ups are usually once a week or every second day.

The first and second follow-up will let us know how bad the infestation was and where you have had evidence of rats. During the follow up visit the pest controller will re-bait as necessary and arrange the second follow-up with you. On the last follow up, we would carry out a final inspection of your property to make sure it’s all clear, before advising you how to prevent rat problems in the future.

Residential Rat Control

Rats don’t care if it’s a period conversion in Islington or a semi-detached in Sutton. If they find food, shelter, and a gap the size of a 50p coin, they’re in.

Once inside, they contaminate surfaces, gnaw through cables and pipework, and carry diseases like leptospirosis. Not exactly what you want underneath your floorboards or behind your kitchen units. Don’t worry, we are here to help. Our residential rat pest control in London covers all types of homes – houses, flats, apartments, rentals, and even shared housing.
