Rodent Control Services We Provide in Devon
Protecting You From Rats and Mice
Seasonal Rodent Activity in Devon
Rats and mice can be a year-round problem but often see spikes in activity during autumn and winter when colder weather and indoor heating drive them to seek shelter. Early identification and treatment of infestations help protect your home or business from damage, contamination, and disruption.
The most common rodent species in Devon is the Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus), which typically nests in burrows and buildings. The House Mouse (Mus musculus) is also frequently found infesting kitchens and food storage areas. Understanding these species helps us tailor effective treatments to your specific rodent problem.
Residential Rat and Mouse Removal
Discrete, effective treatment for homes, flats, and apartments across Devon. We target rats and mice hiding in lofts, wall cavities, cupboards, and food storage areas — offering safe, family-friendly solutions.
Commercial Rodent Control Treatments
Specialised pest management for hotels, B&Bs, HMOs, restaurants, and commercial properties. Rapid inspections and treatments with detailed reporting for landlords and property managers to protect reputation and compliance.
Rodent Inspections & Risk Assessments
Thorough checks using visual inspections and monitoring tools. We identify rodent harbourage points, signs of activity (droppings, gnaw marks, nests), and high-risk areas — then provide a tailored treatment plan with ongoing advice.
