Get results fast and discreetly
Any home or business can face a rat problem. At Bug King, we understand that finding rats in your home or business can be very distressing. For hotels, motels, B&Bs and businesses which serve or handle food, a rat infestation can have major health and safety implications. Rodents can spread diseases, contaminate food and lead to business closure or fines.
Rats can present a serious fire risk to your property by gnawing through cables wherever they find them. They can also damage insulation, chew through floor joists, pipes, doors, floorboards. Rats will also shred nearly anything for their nests, from paper to linen and plastic.
You call a rat exterminator because you want results and you want them fast. So, give the team at Bug King a call on 0800 546454 to schedule our rodent eradication services today.
Signs of rats
Hear scurrying noises in the middle of the night? Yes, it’s most probably rats. If the noise is at dusk or just before first light, it’s probably birds. Interestingly, you’ll never get rats and birds living in the ceiling space at the same time.
If you have come across signs of rats like rat droppings, chewed food or nesting materials such as chewed packaging or wires etc, an unpleasant urine smell or you’ve spotted the little blighters scurrying around close to walls and vertical surfaces, our expert rat treatments are the quickest and most effective way to get rid of rats from your home or business.
Rodents can make a visit at any time of the year, but autumn and winter is the time when mice and rats look for new supplies of food and to seek shelter from the colder weather. Despite there being no food or water in your roof, rats will move in there, because it’s a nice warm, dry, predator free place for a nest.

What we do
The most successful solution for how to get rid of rats is a baiting strategy. If set up correctly, this overcomes all the natural rodent behaviours that make other rat and mouse control methods less successful.
Our technician will complete a thorough inspection of your home, looking for potential access points, evidence of rodent activity and food sources that attract rats and mice.
Baits are secured in areas where there is evidence of activity. The baits are secured using wire and/or in lockable bait stations if accessible by children or pets. This also allows us to monitor the level of rodent activity if a return visit is required.
Will the rodents die in the wall/ceiling, etc?
There is a 1 in 20 (5%) chance that a rodent may die in an inaccessible area of the home. You will usually notice this aa an unpleasant odour. If this happens we have odour bags available that will absorb the smell while the rodent dries out.
Our technicians will also offer advice on eliminating food sources that attract rodents as well as what the likely access points are into your home and how to seal them. Usually it’s a simple matter of trimming trees.

Preparation and aftercare
No preparation or aftercare is required for rodent treatments.
Safety
We make the security of our bait placements a high priority. If children or pets have potential access the bait, we will secure it in a high-quality lockable bait station. If bait is placed in inaccessible areas, we will wire it in place to ensure that rodents can’t drag it to new locations.
All bait we use contains Bitrex™. This makes the bait very bitter to the taste, discouraging eating.
If bait is accidentally consumed, an injection of Vitamin K1 will overcome any poisoning effects. The bait is not fast acting, you will have days rather than hours to react to any bait accidentally consumed.
What happens if my cat/dog eats a rodent that’s been poisoned?
Nothing. The risk of secondary poisoning is practically non-existent. The potency of the bait has been lost by the time poisoning effect on the rodent is noticeable.
