Guides and advice

Mice are persistent, fast-breeding, and far more destructive than most people realise. Whether you have spotted one mouse or found clear signs of an infestation, this guide walks you through what actually works and when it makes sense to bring in professional help.

Rats are one of the most damaging pests a UK homeowner or business can face, and getting rid of them takes more than a trap and some determination. This guide walks you through what works, what to do first, and when calling in a professional is the right call.

Rats are largely nocturnal, but their activity patterns are more nuanced than that. Understanding when and why they move around can help you catch a problem early and act before it gets out of hand.

Yes, some rats in the UK have developed genuine genetic resistance to certain rodenticides, meaning poisons that worked reliably decades ago can now fail entirely in affected areas. Understanding why this happens, and what to do about it, is the key to getting rid of rats for good.

Finding out a neighbour has rats is unsettling, and the worry that they might spread to your property is completely understandable. The honest answer is that the risk is real but not inevitable, and there is quite a lot you can do about it.

Mice are secretive by nature, so by the time you spot one running across the floor, the infestation is usually well under way. Knowing what to look for earlier can save you time, money and a great deal of stress.
