The 4 step process of how iQ exterminate rats from a residential property. Business owners call now for a free survey

  1. If you have a live rat in your property, call our emergency rat response team without delay. Speed is the key.

  2. We will carry out a full and thorough survey of every nook and cranny of your home this will include removing the manhole covers of your drainage chambers, checking the perimeter boundary of your garden, under the stairs and cupboards, cellars, basements, attic and loft spaces. iQ Pest Control will then lay traps alongside an ultraviolet gel or tracking dust, patience is now key. Rats generally fear any new objects and will avoid them for up to 14 days. Never be tempted to use DIY poisons. As previous customers have advised after trying DIY poisons the stench of a dead rat beneath your floorboards or behind walls is unbearable, it will always attract flies and therefore you will also have maggots in your home.

  3. On our second return visit we will inspect traps hopefully remove the offending rats dead bodies, in addition we will use our ultraviolet torch to help us monitor rat related activity and will help us in our treatment.

  4. iQ Pest Control will investigate your building to find the rats entry points, we will seal these with gnaw-proof barrier material. In addition to an internal proofing strategy we may find some external access points. Rats can make their way into your home in a number of different avenues and we may recommend a CCTV investigation is undertaken of the drainage system where it correlates to your home or business.

Why should you use a professional rat exterminator?

You may like some customers have attempted to deal with your rat extermination yourself, you may have even managed to kill a few rats in your house. But as I am sure you will realise there is never just one rat.

Rats have enormous families and can often remain hidden in the sewer system beneath your feet. They feed off our waste and will sneak around usually in the cover of darkness into your house or business such as their favoured restaurants and food production facilities.

iQ Pest Control will promptly find the rat’s entry point to your building, this is the first and really the most important step. Rats when travelling around their territory leave a pheromone trail almost like a scent trail that enables that rat and the whole of their colony to retrace their steps, if you do not obstruct their route they will continue coming back for easy pickings, worst case scenario they may even take up residence in your house or business and make their family a nest.

Just a pair of rats? Fast forward 12 months their numbers could be up to a thousand, an infestation like this can force you and your family from your home! Or you, your staff and customers from your business premises!!

iQ Pest Control use advanced methods of investigation techniques akin to what you may see on BBC’s Silent Witness or Crime Scene Investigation to detect and track your rat infestation. iQ Pest Control will use professional products to prevent rats from ever re-entering your house or business, this is a permanent solution.

iQ RAT FACT: Brown rats are known throughout the UK and the rest of the world as a disease ridden rodent they can carry up to 43 different diseases so every precaution must be taken to limit the spread of disease.

iQ RAT FACT: rats are extremely destructive in their nature. They are very intelligent and their finesse can easily evade DIY rat removal attempts in your home or business. Rat’s teeth constantly grow, a rat must constantly gnaw to wear them down and keep them at their ideal length. Their teeth are super-strong and will cut through anything –brick, asbestos, wood, breeze blocks, 10cm-thick concrete, even 2mm-thick metal.

Throughout all town, cities and villages rat extermination is a never ending battle. It would be impossible to exterminate every rat in the country, but we can certainly ensure that you and your home or business remains rat free.
