Seeing a rat can be incredibly stressful for homeowners or business leaders.
Rats spread diseases, including Hantavirus, Salmonella and Tularemia. They can also carry fleas and generally cause disruption. As such, they can cause a risk to public health for businesses and homes.
Rats are also well-known for causing structural damage and contaminating food, so it’s imperative that you get rid of rats promptly. Otherwise, they will breed rapidly and find new entry points, meaning what started as a single rat could become a major rodent problem.
At PestEvo, we offer professional pest control treatments to remove all rat species from homes and businesses throughout Blackburn and the surrounding area. We can also remove other rodent pests, such as squirrels and mice.
The most common rats in the UK are brown rats and black rats, and either can be a serious issue for property owners.
If you notice signs of pest activity and think it could be rats, it’s important you call a local pest controller fast.
PestEvo is here to remove rats from your property, then block potential entry points to stop them from returning.

Signs Of A Rat Infestation
Being large rodents, rats are usually relatively easy to notice, but some common signs of rat activity include:
- Rat Sightings: If you see a rat, then this is a sure sign that they are on your property. Rats are nocturnal, and mostly active at night, but you may see them during the day if you disturb them or if you have a large rat infestation.
- Rat Droppings: Dark brown and cylindrical, rat droppings can be between 1 and 2cm in length and can be found on almost any surface in your property.
- Small Holes In Food Packaging: To find food, rats will chew holes in food packaging. Rats eat almost anything, and will be particularly interested in dried foods that are stored on counters or in cupboards.
- Smear Marks Or Footprints: Rats often leave greasy smear marks on skirting boards as they travel throughout your space. They may also leave small footprints in dust or dirt.
- Gnaw Marks: Because their teeth grow constantly, rats have to chew hard materials regularly. Tooth marks throughout your home could indicate the presence of rats.
- Scratching Sounds: Hearing scratching or scurrying noises throughout your property, especially at night, could indicate a rat problem.
As soon as you spot any signs of rats, you need to act fast before they take over your space. Contact us to book your rat control treatment and keep these rodent pests away.
