Rat Pest Control in Surrey & West Sussex
Professional Rat Control You Can Rely On
Rats are one of the most destructive and disease-carrying pests found across Surrey and West Sussex. They contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and can quickly spread throughout your home or business.
At Ranger Pest Control, our BPCA-qualified technicians deliver effective rat removal and proofing, targeting the problem at its source — from drains and lofts to wall cavities and gardens.
We’re local, fully insured, and use only professional-grade, pet-safe treatments that meet all UK safety standards.
Our Standard Rat Treatment Programme
Our rat eradication plan includes three visits spaced around two weeks apart, ensuring complete elimination and follow-up proofing.
Visit 1 – Inspection & Initial Treatment
- Full site survey: identifying entry points, nesting sites, and feeding areas.
- Inspection of drain systems, air bricks, and building fabric for ingress.
- Deployment of secure, tamper-resistant traps and baits, placed safely.
- Hygiene and waste-management guidance to reduce attractants.
Visit 2 – Monitoring & Adjustment
- Review of all activity and bait take.
- Replace or reposition traps as necessary.
- Identify and record new access points or evidence.
Visit 3 – Proofing & Prevention
- Confirm eradication and remove treatment units.
- Seal gaps and proof identified entry points where possible.
- Provide final report with photographic evidence and recommendations.
All materials comply with COSHH and CRRU regulations. We prioritise safe, targeted control rather than blanket poisoning.
Signs of a Rat Infestation
- Scratching, gnawing or scurrying noises in walls, lofts, or voids
- Dark, sausage-shaped droppings (10–20 mm) near food or under sinks
- Greasy smear marks on walls and skirting boards
- Chewed wiring, insulation, or packaging
- Ammonia-like odour in enclosed spaces
- Rat runs or burrows in gardens, sheds, or compost areas
If you notice any of these signs, call Ranger Pest Control immediately — delaying treatment allows rats to multiply rapidly.
