The tell-tale signs of rats and mice, and of grey squirrels
In the pest control language, mice and rats are known as 'commensal rodents' which means they benefit from parasitizing on humans and their properties for as long as the people let them. Rats and mice are notorious for spreading potentially lethal diseases on people, and along with another rodent pest - grey squirrel, they are also capable of causing costly damages to homes, equipment and stock by gnawing.
How do people usually notice pest rodents?
Most often, our customers have been alerted about starting infestations by hearing noises from the loft and/or found rodent droppings in their homes. Later, some objects in the house may carry signs of rodent gnawing on them, packages of food could be torn open and food eaten away or missing. Rat burrows in the ground may indicate nesting rats, a hole in the soffit or in the roof would suggest a grey squirrel or squirrels. Smears on the walls may give away established rat or mouse runs and frequently used entry points. Paths of bare and trampled earth in the lawn outside may be another indicator of a rat infestation.
How we interpret some of the tell-tale signs of rodent pests to help you telling them apart
Noise - Rats and mice are nocturnal animals that are most active during the night when they also make most of the noise while grey squirrels are day animals. If a grey squirrel chose your loft for a temporary shelter, the most noise you can usually hear from it would be at late evening or early morning. If squirrels are nesting and breeding in your loft, you can usually hear them at any time of the day and often also at night.
Droppings - Mouse droppings are 3 - 6 millimetres long, of granular shape, usually dark-black in colour when fresh. Rat droppings are between 10 and 20 millimetres in length, shiny black when fresh and of a spindle shape. Droppings of grey squirrels vary in shape and colour depending on their diet, but are often spherical like those of rabbits or more elongated like the shape of jelly beans, most often 8 -13 millimetres in size.
Our quotes to eradicate infestations of rats and mice, and to trap grey squirrels, plus follow-ups
Our "on-page" prices of rodent control apply to residential pest control only; free quotes for commercial premises can be obtained on request. You are welcome to ask about any of our services and/or to confirm the price before booking a call out to deal with your rodent issue. All our prices of rat and mouse control are for 1 treatment and 1 follow-up inspection only, but in some pest control scenarios, we may still recommend you adding an extra follow up visit to monitor progress of the treatment and to track movement of rodents in treated internal areas which could be useful to determine rodent ingress and entry points more reliably before rodent proofing work is done. An extra follow-up visit costs from £50. Additional follow-up inspections and treatments are available at half price of the initial treatment and inspection where it is still required to reliably eradicate the same rodent infestation and/or it is requested by our customer for their peace of mind.

Disinfection compliments rodent control
Rats communicate and mark their territory by urinating everywhere they go, therefore, they represent a significant health risk. Rats are known to potentially carry nasty diseases which can spread to humans, often through rats’ urine or body coming into contact with food preparation surfaces and other areas that humans may touch. We recommend you to compliment our rodent control service with disinfection for extra safety of your family where rats and mice have been unwanted visitors of your home and to protect your customers with disinfecting the premises if the rodent problem has been in a place of your business. Discounted prices of disinfection (in connection with our rodent control) start from £30. Feel free to request more information about our disinfection service and pricing.
