Rat control in London starts with understanding the activity and the building around it. Alex Pest Control London provides inspection and treatment for homes and commercial premises across London and the M25. A sighting, noise or damaged item is a useful starting point, but the visible evidence needs to be connected to the routes rats use and the places they shelter.

An inspection looks at where signs are concentrated, potential access points and conditions that support the infestation. Tell us about droppings, gnawing, scratching or sightings, including activity outside as well as inside. Previous treatment and recent building work can also help explain what has changed.

The approach is selected around the inspection findings. The existing service includes trapping, baiting and exclusion techniques, with the treatment plan discussed for your property. Ask about the areas involved, precautions, access requirements and any monitoring or follow-up that may be needed.

Rat control and pest proofing have different roles. Treatment addresses activity; proofing considers the routes into the building. Ask about gaps around services, air bricks and doors, as well as advice on food storage and waste. Prevention should be considered alongside treatment rather than assumed from one visit. Give your postcode and describe indoor and outdoor access when arranging a visit. Our London and M25 coverage guide helps you find the right local page before discussing the inspection.

Droppings, gnaw marks, scratching and sightings. Explain where you found the signs and when activity began. Inspection can assess the evidence rather than relying on a single sign.

Lofts, wall voids, kitchens and external entry points. Discuss the affected areas and any access restrictions before the visit.

How is the approach selected?

Inspection, targeted trapping or baiting, and exclusion advice. The proposed plan should reflect the inspection, property and extent of activity.

What should I do before the visit?

Confirm any preparation requirements for your chosen treatment. Mention children, pets, occupied rooms and operational needs so relevant precautions can be discussed.

Can I request a same-day visit?

Call with your postcode and the problem. Attendance is confirmed by the team; request a same-day visit when discussing availability.

What happens after treatment?

Inspect air bricks, pipe openings and building gaps; discuss suitable exclusion work. Ask what to monitor, which advice to follow and whether further inspection or follow-up should be discussed.
