Getting rid of rats is essential to maintaining a safe and hygienic workplace, especially in the food and hospitality industry. Rats not only carry diseases such as salmonella, E.coli and Weil's disease, but they also carry ticks, mites and fleas and can cause allergic reactions. Rats can also inflict costly damage to property, stock and foodstuffs.

Sure signs that you have a rat problem
Rats, like mice, produce characteristic ‘stale’ odours, which are easily recognised. Other signs are:
- scratching or gnawing noises in the wall, floor or roof space
- droppings in or around your workplace
- damage to your property such as chewed furnishings, fittings or cables
- nests with shredded material such as insulation, paper or packaging
- stock damage
What to do next – Why risk it for a biscuit?
With current legislation, companies are required to take health and safety very seriously. Don’t let an easily prevented problem like poor rodent control compromise the reputation and integrity of your company.
Call our national helpline on to arrange a free survey, to discuss rodent control or to remove your rat control problem. Alternatively find your local branch to speak to your local pest control technician.
