Rat Control London
Professional Rat Extermination — Same Day Available
Rats are one of the most destructive and dangerous pests in the UK. They gnaw through electrical cables (causing house fires), water pipes, structural timbers and gas pipes. They carry Weil's disease (Leptospirosis), Salmonella, E.coli and Toxoplasma — all potentially fatal. Norway rats (brown rats) are the most common species in London, burrowing under garden decking, sheds and foundations. Zeus Services provides expert rat control across all London boroughs, 24 hours a day.

What's Included
Every treatment is carried out by a certified technician and includes:
How We Treat It
Our step-by-step treatment process, used by every Zeus technician on every visit.
Inspection
We survey the full property including garden, drains, loft and subfloor areas, identifying burrow systems, gnaw damage, grease trails, droppings and all active access points.
Targeted Treatment
Tamper-resistant bait stations are placed along active rat runs, burrow entrances and inside the property using professional-grade second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide.
Proofing Advice
We document every entry point — broken drains, gaps in brickwork, air bricks, pipe penetrations. Our rodent proofing service seals all entry points permanently with a 2-year warranty.
Follow-Up & Clearance
A follow-up visit confirms bait uptake and eradication. Dead rodents are removed safely. A full written report is issued confirming clearance and any outstanding recommendations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have rats?
Key signs include large dark droppings (up to 14mm, banana-shaped), gnaw marks on wood, cables or pipes, burrows in garden soil or under decking, grease smears along walls, scratching noises at night, and a strong ammonia odour.
Can rats enter through the drains?
Yes — this is one of the most common entry routes in London. Rats travel through sewer systems and enter properties through broken drain pipes or faulty inspection chambers. We recommend a CCTV drain survey if drain access is suspected.
How dangerous are rats to my family?
Extremely. Rats carry Weil's disease (Leptospirosis), Salmonella, E.coli and Hantavirus. Even indirect contact with contaminated surfaces, urine or droppings can cause serious illness. Treat any infestation as an urgent matter.
Do you offer rodent proofing after treatment?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Our rodent proofing service is backed by an industry-leading 2-year warranty, the longest in London. We use stainless steel mesh, expanding foam and mortar to permanently seal all identified entry points.
Is treatment guaranteed?
All rat treatments include a follow-up monitoring visit. If activity persists after the programme, we return and re-treat at no extra charge until eradication is confirmed.
