DIY rodent control or the use of conventional traps often fails to resolve the problem permanently and carries a high risk of reinfestation. A safer and more effective alternative is to use a professional rodent control service from an experienced pest control company.
Rentokil offers expert rodent control for both homes and businesses, with tailored treatment plans designed for each specific location. We also provide disinfection services to eliminate harmful pathogens spread by rodents, ensuring hygienic and long-lasting protection. With our services, you won’t have to worry about rats returning—saving you time, reducing chemical exposure, and keeping your property safe.

Rentokil Rodent Control Services for Homes and Businesses
Rodent infestations, particularly involving sewer rats, can have serious impacts on health, safety, hygiene, and property. From the risk of leptospirosis to electrical hazards caused by gnawing, and even operational disruptions for businesses such as unpleasant odours or forced closures due to hygiene inspections, the consequences can be significant.
To reduce these risks and prevent small problems from escalating, Rentokil offers comprehensive rodent control services tailored to your premises and the severity of the infestation. Our services include the following:
Rodent Bait Station & Trap Solutions
Rentokil’s rodent bait station service is a highly effective control method, ideal for homes, hotels, restaurants, and offices. The stations are specifically designed to target both house rats and sewer rats. They are tamper-resistant, durable, and safe to place in areas where children or pets may be present. The entrance is designed to attract rodents into the station and lead them directly to the bait, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
We deploy a variety of baiting and trapping methods depending on the environment, both indoors and outdoors, including:
- Rodent glue boards for indoor use
- Rodent bait stations for outdoor installation
- Rodent cages for targeted indoor trapping in outbreak zones
- Mechanical rodent boxes for use both inside and outside buildings
Rat Proofing Services
Rentokil’s latest add-on service is Rat Proofing, which involves sealing cracks, gaps, and other potential entry points used by rodents to enter buildings. Unlike many pest control providers that focus solely on extermination, this service addresses the root of the problem by preventing re-entry.
Rodent proofing is a vital component of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy. It supports the principle of exclusion—blocking entry—alongside elimination and monitoring. This comprehensive approach significantly improves long-term rodent control effectiveness and minimises the chance of reinfestation after bait stations or traps have been placed.
Note: Rodent proofing is available exclusively for current Rentokil rodent control clients.
