Preparation and Advice

1) If you know you have rats we advise you phone or book an online appointment today, Rats are a danger to human health, they carry Harmful diseases, can contaminate foods or any surface you come in contact with and also can contaminate objects such as children’s and pet toys. Rats can carry the life threatening disease (Weil’s Disease) if you come in contact with their urine.

2) Rats can cause structural damage to your home or business and are also known to cause fires within properties if they chew through electric cables.
3) Exclude Rats by blocking any entry holes in walls around pipework especially round low level, these can be blocked using wire wall or cement.
4) Prevent rats nesting by keeping weeds and other vegetation low and keeping your garden or yard tidy without piles of disused materials or debris.
5) Make sure your drain covers are sealed as rats can escape from the main sewer.
6) Do not excessively feed birds in your garden any spillages will attract rats, and finally don’t over fill your bins, spillages from your waste bins are the most common reason that your property will attract rats, please make sure your refuse bin remains secure with no holes and a lid that closes securely.

Rat Facts

There are 2 types of rats found in the UK, the most common that will invade our homes or property is the brown rat (Rattus Norvegicus). The Black rat is far less common and mainly found near docks and ports of the UK.

The live in the sewer systems, the underground, ditches, grass banks and close to water sources such as ponds and lakes.

Their body length including the tail can be between 280 and 330mm

They commonly enter our homes in the autumn searching for food and warmth, they will nest in places such as your attic or loft space, under your floorboards, under your garden shed, or burrow in the ground in vegetation or soil.

Once mating has established a female rat will produce 6 – 8 in each litter and can reproduce every 21 days, a large scale infestation can multiply to hundreds within weeks.

One pair of rats can produce 200 babies a year and over 2000 offspring in just one year.

Watch this video of Rats having a garden feast party in Felixstowe Suffolk

This week Millennium Pest Control, were called to a residents in Felixstowe to arrest some Rats from over indulging having their own garden party, stealing the food you placed for your robin or sparrow . Rats are great climbers and it doesn’t take long for them to smell and seek the spillages left from over feeding birds in your garden. Please remove any spillages left from the feeders and from time to time bring your feeders indoors at dusk to remove the food source that rats will become attracted too.

Brilliant service

Brilliant and friendly service by Tony Bennett, he was very knowledgeable and offered lots of advice. The report was completed very quickly and was very helpful to remember the key points. I’m very pleased with the service received and I would definitely recommend millennium pest control.

Good Value for money

When I saw I had to pay £200, I was a bit shocked, but didn't realise they would make three visits over six weeks!! - Plus supply all the poison and provide so much advice.
This represents great value and the guys are very friendly and I am very happy with the results.
My mice are not completely gone, but they are out of the house now and you can't really control what the neighbours do, but at least I now know whats happening and can stop them getting to the places I don't want them.
The service is so fast, I got a visit the very next day after I reported the problem, great company, highly recommended.
