Why Rats Enter Your Property?

Rats are opportunistic. They come into homes and businesses searching for things like:

  • Food sources
  • shelter, such as lofts, attics, or storage spaces
  • warm places to build nests

After getting inside, they use pheromone trails to attract more rats. This can cause a fast infestation.

A rat problem in a business can damage reputation and cause health violations, so fast action is critical.

Proofing & Prevention

Many companies fail here — but we don’t.

We block and seal areas to prevent rats’ entry.

  • Holes around pipes
  • Broken air vents
  • Wall cavities and roof gaps

 

We also install advanced solutions such as:

  • Rat flaps (non-return valves) in drains

  • Pest-proofing systems

Types of Rats We Remove

Most infestations are caused by

  • Brown Rat – the most common type and causes the most damage
  • Black Rat – smaller, but can also cause problems.

 

These rats can get in through drains, roofs, gardens, and even tiny gaps as small as 20mm.

The cost of rat control in Swindon depends on how bad the infestation is and what treatment is needed. Basic pest control services are less, while more serious cases that need proofing or drain work are more expensive. SPC offers a free inspection and a quote with no obligation.

Common signs of a rat infestation include rat droppings, gnaw marks, smear marks, noises, and nests. Rats enter through sewer pipes, drains, roof spaces, or gaps around pipes.

Professional pest control starts with a pest inspection to find where pests are getting in and where they are active. SPC experts use rodent bait, rat traps, and eco-friendly treatments.

SPC provides professional rat extermination in Swindon. Our certified technicians provide fast, effective pest management with long-term pest-proofing solutions.
