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.
