South East London Rat Control

The sight of a rat will cause anxiety in most people. With my level of experience in rat control in South East London, you can be sure I will be able to get rid of the issue for you in a safe manner, ensuring rats do not return to your home in the future. There are a number of different signs and indications that you may be dealing with a rat issue in your home. Rat droppings are usually one of the biggest indicators. Droppings are typically situated in specific locations, concentrated in one area because rates tend to produce as many as 40 droppings every night. Other signs that you may have an issue with rats in your home or business in South East London include footprints, rat nests, rat holes, scratching noises, and rub marks.

Brown rats are a big issue in South East London.  The River Thames has long been a major rat-magnet.  But lately, rats have been thriving more than ever due to construction work for the 2012 Olympics and Thameslink.  Rats are beneath your feet in the old London sewer tunnels and The Underground, feeding all day and night rubbish buffets, and sheltering in derelict buildings, our attics and our gardens.  We may not like it, but the SE postcodes are a perfect home for rats.  

Rats can cause pricey and treacherous structural damage.  A rat's front teeth can grow 5 inches in a year. That's why they're always gnawing on things to grind them down such as water pipes, gas pipes and electrical cables. Nasty infections, such as Weil’s disease, listeria, hantavirus, toxoplasma gondii and salmonella can be spread through rat urine. Dribbling pee is part of a rat’s behaviour.  Urine-marking is a passport to communicate information about its age, social status, individual identity, current stress level, index spatial knowledge and acts as a sexual advertisement.  Dark scent marks can be found on easily walked on surfaces such as bricks.

The Cockney big squealers' success lays in its adaptability to our urban sprawl and its prolific rate of breeding.  Reaching sexual maturity at 2-3 months, a female rat, under a vacuum environment, could have 15,000 pups by the end of a year.  But the mortality rate is high with few rats reaching two years old. If you hear scratching or pitter pattering noises in the attic during the night, it could be rats.  They can use loft insulation as a downy bed for a siesta.  As cold weather bites, rats tend to move indoors during October and November.  Other noises in ceiling voids could be the tail bangs, hissing and shrieking of rats boxing.

The fuzzy undercover agents hardly ever scurry further than 300 feet from their burrows or nests when searching for food and water.  Feeding at night, rats can eat 50g of food a day and will eat almost anything a human eats. Rats are expert climbers able to scale vertical surfaces such as cavity walls and bounding under floorboards.  Using their whiskers to judge widths, rats elongate their flexible bodies through tight spaces. Rats can swim along the network of sewers, darting through a damaged waste pipe into the home.  They have been known to wriggle up the U-bend into toilet bowls. 

As a survival strategy, rats are neophobic meaning they are very wary of unfamiliar objects or new foods.  A rat will try a small amount of a new food the first time to see if makes them feel ill.  This learned food aversion tactic makes using poisons a slower process than some impatient humans would like.

In the garden, rats dig into grassy banks or burrow under dry sheds and decking.  They can be attracted to food dropped from bird feeders.  Rats can be controlled in the garden, but it’s best to use Bob’s expertise to ensure other wildlife is kept safe. Rats can be particularly ferocious and dangerous, especially if cornered or if food is in short supply. Much like of the extensive use of antibiotics in humans is helping create strains of hardy 'superbugs', the use of rodenticides is creating colonies of poison-resistant 'super rats'.  

South East London Mice Control

The smaller cousin of the rat, mice may appear cute, but you certainly do not want wild mice in your home. As a mouse control expert in South East London, you can be sure that I can help you to keep mice out of your home or business. There are a number of different signs or indications that you may have a mice infestation in South East London. This includes gnawing marks and shredded materials, as well as grease marks on your skirting boards or walls. You are also likely to have noticed small dark droppings. Plus, mice have a very distinct and unusual smell, which is like ammonia. If you have noticed any of these signs, it is important to get in touch with me sooner rather than later for mice control services in South East London. I have many years of training and can easily spot the presence of a mice infestation. I will not only help you to deal with the issue you are experiencing now but I will proof your property to ensure mice do not return in the future.

House mice are the conquering heroes of pests in SE London and Bob's most common call out.  

Ever since we’ve been holed up in caves, mice have been caching in on a human civilisation.  Instinctively fearful of prey and needing protection from the harshness of the British weather, city-born mice have found a shortcut to an easier life than their countryside cousins - our cosy homes.  Pre-built access pipes lead straight into Mouse Utopia where good food and shelter is it in abundance.

Q: How can I tell if I have mice?  A: Use your senses of sight, smell and sound to detect an infiltration of mice.

You'll know you have squatters by the patter of tiny feet at night.  Squeaking is the conversation of a mischief of mice and brawling youngsters. Droppings found in t he tidiest of cupboards, along skirtings, or on surface tops, are a major clue you have mice.  Small and dark, about the size of a grain of rice, they can be scattered everywhere that a mouse has zipped along. A musty smell is a tell-tale sign that you might have a house mouse.  As a pheromone trail, they constantly leak urine wherever they go.  Despite the potential for disease, there is no real cause for alarm.  Cleaning up droppings with a disinfectant spray and making your house as mouse proof as possible should be enough.

The hidden confines of a cupboard, snug bedding of loft insulation, runways under the floorboards, the climbable inner surface of cavity walls, even a toy box, provide the perfect home.

The house mouse can fit through any gap big enough to poke a pencil through.  In the human jungle, mice explore every nook and cranny nibbling anything to see if it is edible, including power cables.  They chew clean cuts through wood, paper and clothing.  If you find gnawing debris such as wood shavings, shredded paper, holes in containers, holes under counters and holes around pipes, it's highly likely you've got sitting tenants. You may see greasy smear marks as mice rub along their routes, particular around holes or around corners.

Our food is perfect for a mouse's high metabolism.  Mice live in the fast lane burning up huge amounts of calories, so they have appetites to match.  As expected, London’s mice make up their home within a few metres from food.  Just a few crumbs and an untidy cupboard to nest in are enough. City slicker mice are nocturnal so are frustratingly hard to see, nibbling on food left out at night or vanishing the moment you appear.  If you see a cheeky mouse during the day, it could indicate there is a large population is blooming within your home.  Mice are prolific breeders; in a matter of weeks, a few mice can become a dozen.

Rat problem in South London - May 2020

We had an emergency call this morning from a tenant who was seeing rats climbing out of the floor drains in the yard and then disappearing under the waste bin. Upon investigation the floor drain covers were loose and the rats were simply pushing the plates off then going under the bin where the drainage plug was missing and were just climbing in for food, once full they were disappearing back down the floor drains until their next feeding time. Advised the client to replace the floor drain covers and re fit the drainage plug in the bottom of the bin.
