Professional Rat Removal & Treatment
Rats can cause damage, contaminate areas and establish themselves in difficult-to-access parts of a property.
Effective rat removal involves more than dealing with individual sightings. It’s important to understand where rats are active, how they may be entering the building and what is allowing the infestation to continue.
Our approach combines inspection, professional rat treatment and practical prevention advice for residential and commercial properties across London.
Signs of a Rat Infestation
Common signs include:
- Rat droppings
- Scratching or movement beneath floors or inside walls
- Gnaw marks
- Damaged food packaging
- Greasy marks along frequently used routes
- Burrows around gardens or external areas
- Unusual smells
- Live rat sightings
If you notice these signs, a professional inspection can help determine the extent and possible source of the infestation.
Persistent activity may require a professional rat exterminator, particularly when rats are nesting or entering through areas that are difficult to access.
How We Get Rid of Rats
Successful rat removal starts with understanding where the problem is coming from.
Simply dealing with individual rats may not provide a long-term solution if the property continues to provide food, shelter or easy access.
Inspection
We inspect relevant areas for droppings, gnaw marks, runs, feeding locations, burrows and other evidence of activity.
Where possible, we also investigate how rats may be entering and moving around the property.
Rat Treatment
Once the infestation has been assessed, we recommend an appropriate rat treatment.
Depending on the circumstances, professional rodent-control products and secure bait stations may form part of the treatment programme.
Follow-up visits may also be recommended depending on the level of activity.
Rat Proofing & Prevention
Preventing rats from returning is an important part of long-term rat pest control.
Potential entry points can include:
- Gaps around pipes and utilities
- Damaged vents or air bricks
- Openings beneath doors
- Structural gaps
- Drainage-related access
Where appropriate, we can highlight vulnerable areas and recommend rat proofing measures that may help prevent future access.
Keeping food and waste securely stored can also reduce conditions that attract rats to a property.
Rat Removal for Homes & Businesses
Mouse Hunter helps with rat infestations in houses, flats, rental properties and commercial premises across London.
In residential properties, rats may be found beneath floors, inside wall cavities, around kitchens, in gardens or near drainage systems.
Businesses may face additional risks where food, waste and storage areas are present. Professional rat pest control can help identify the source of activity and determine the appropriate treatment.
Every infestation is different, so our recommendations are based on the individual property and evidence we find.

Rat Control FAQs
Q: How much does rat removal cost in London?
A: The cost depends on the property, extent of the infestation and treatment required. Contact us with details of the problem for a quote.
Q: How do rats get into houses?
A: Rats can enter through structural gaps, damaged vents, openings around pipes and other vulnerable areas. Drainage systems may also provide access in some properties.
Q: Do I need a rat exterminator?
A: If you’ve seen rats repeatedly, found droppings or continue to notice activity despite DIY measures, professional inspection and treatment may be appropriate.
Q: Can rats come through drains?
A: Rats can live around sewer and drainage systems, and drainage-related access may be relevant to some infestations. Where this is suspected, further investigation may be required.
Q: How long does rat treatment take?
A: There is no single timeframe for every infestation. It depends on the property, level of activity, access points and treatment being used.
Q: Can rats return after treatment?
A: Rats may return if suitable food, shelter or access points remain available. Addressing these factors alongside treatment can help reduce the risk of another infestation.
