Expert Rat Control in Dewsbury

Rats cause damage, contaminate food and present health risks — so if you’ve spotted signs around your property, fast professional action is essential. Pest Exterminator Leeds provides expert rat control in Dewsbury using safe, effective and compliant methods tailored for homes and businesses.

Common signs of a rat problem

• Droppings: small, dark, rice-shaped pellets around cupboards, bins or along skirting.
• Scratching or scurrying noises in walls, lofts or under floors (especially at night).
• Gnaw marks on wood, cables, packaging or garden furniture.
• Greasy smears or rub marks where rats travel regularly.
• Burrows under sheds, decking or compost heaps in gardens.

Our Dewsbury rat control services

We offer a full end-to-end service designed to remove existing rats and prevent re-infestation:

• Detailed property inspection and activity mapping
• Targeted baiting and trapping using professional equipment
• Structural proofing advice and entry-point sealing
• Commercial-grade monitoring and reporting for businesses
• Follow-up visits and long-term maintenance plans

How our process works

1. Survey: We identify access routes, nests and signs of activity across the property.
2. Immediate control: Emergency baiting/trapping where necessary to reduce activity fast.
3. Proofing: Seal gaps, recommend structural fixes and exclude rodents from re-entry points.
4. Monitoring & follow-up: Re-inspections and evidence logs until the site is clear.

Prevention tips for Dewsbury properties

• Keep bins sealed and away from building perimeters
• Store food and bird seed in rodent-proof containers
• Clear garden debris, long grass and clutter where rats can nest
• Seal gaps around pipes, vents and doors — even small holes invite access
• Maintain drains and remove standing water that may attract rodents
