Reliable rat control in Cambridge
Successful rat control needs a structured approach, not a quick fix. We follow a simple 3-step process:
- Inspection and diagnosis: Confirm activity and identify access routes
- Treatment: Apply the right methods to remove the infestation
- Proofing: Identify entry points and advise on steps to reduce re-entry
We do not rely on guesswork. We carry out a thorough inspection and focus on the underlying cause. Where relevant, we also consider drainage issues to help prevent rats returning in Cambridge.

Residential Properties
In homes across Cambridge, rats often get in through:
- Gaps around pipes, damaged vents or loose brickwork
- Routes through wall cavities and into loft spaces
- Drain defects, including cracked joints and unused connections
Our rat inspections in Cambridge cover both inside and outside your property, helping us identify entry points and the routes rats are using.
If drainage access is suspected, we may recommend a CCTV Rat Drain Survey to confirm what is happening below ground.
Commercial rat treatment in Cambridge
For businesses in Cambridge, rat activity can bring serious risks, including hygiene concerns, compliance issues, reputational damage and disruption to staff and customers.
We support commercial premises across Cambridge with a prevention-led service that can include:
- A full site survey to identify risk areas and access routes
- Internal and external proofing recommendations to help reduce entry
- Drain checks and ongoing monitoring for higher-risk sites
- Advice on waste management, stock storage and housekeeping standards
Where infestations persist, a CCTV drain inspection is often an essential part of solving the problem.
Frequently asked questions in Cambridge
Do rats go away on their own?
Usually not. If there’s shelter, warmth, and a food source, rat activity tends to persist or worsen. Early action is typically cheaper and simpler.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
It depends on activity level, access routes, and whether proofing/drain issues are involved. After inspection, we’ll outline expected timelines and next steps.
Do you offer proofing in Cambridge?
- We’ll provide proofing recommendations as part of the service and can advise on the priority fixes (vents, gaps around pipes, entry points, etc.) to help reduce repeat infestations.
Could the rats be coming from the drains?
Yes – especially with recurring issues. A CCTV Rat Drain Survey can confirm defects or access points and guide repairs.
Is treatment safe around children and pets?
We work to best practice and apply site-specific safety measures. Tell us about children/pets on the call so we can plan appropriately and give clear precautions.
Do you cover commercial premises?
Yes. We work with a wide range of commercial premises in Cambridge, including hospitality, retail, offices, warehouses and industrial units.
