How to spot a rat infestation

  • Dark, rice-grain-shaped droppings, larger than a mouse's
  • Gnaw marks on cables, doors or packaging
  • Burrows or holes near foundations, cellars and outdoor areas
  • Scurrying noises in false ceilings, ducts or basements at night

Why you should act fast against rats

Rats gnaw electrical cables (a short-circuit and fire risk), contaminate food stocks and spread serious diseases such as leptospirosis. Wary and prolific, they colonise cellars, drains and wall cavities: the longer you wait, the harder the infestation is to control.

The rats we treat

  • The brown or sewer rat (Rattus norvegicus): the city rat, living in sewers, cellars and garden burrows.
  • The black rat (Rattus rattus): lighter and an excellent climber, it occupies lofts, suspended ceilings and roof spaces.
  • Young rats, often mistaken for large mice, which signal a colony that is already established.
  • Rats along the banks and surroundings of the Marne, favoured by the nearby water and vegetation.

Understanding rats better

The brown rat weighs up to 500 grams, swims several hundred metres, dives and comes back up through wastewater pipes — which is how a rat can appear in a toilet bowl. Its incisors grow continuously and let it bite into lead, PVC and soft concrete. The colony is strongly hierarchical and neophobic: the dominant individuals test any new food, which is why stations must stay fixed for several days before they take effect. A female has up to five litters a year of six to twelve young, mature within three months: the population doubles fast as soon as the food supply allows.

Our rat-control method

  1. Locating burrows, runs and entry points
  2. Secure bait stations and professional traps
  3. Sealing access points (drains, façades, air bricks)
  4. Monitoring and a follow-up visit to confirm eradication

When should you call a professional?

A rat visible in broad daylight signals a dense colony where competition is pushing individuals out into the open: the situation is already advanced. Call in a professional at the first signs — spindle-shaped droppings, burrows in the garden, gnawed cables, heavy noises in the loft — and without fail for a business, a shared building or food premises, where hygiene obligations and the risk of enforced closure are added to everything else.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Scattering loose rodenticide within reach of children, pets and predators — dangerous and illegal.
  • Moving the stations every day: rat neophobia calls for fixed positions and consistency instead.
  • Treating without sealing the ways in or managing food sources: the colony rebuilds itself from outside.
  • Leaving a carcass inside a wall because it can't be retrieved: guaranteed smell problems for weeks.

Keeping rats from coming back

  • Seal cracks, ducts and pipe runs
  • Secure bins, compost bins and food stocks
  • Remove standing water, clutter and outdoor shelter

Our results guarantee

A successful treatment isn't judged on the day itself but a few weeks later. That's why we schedule a follow-up inspection and come back at no cost if the pest reappears during the guarantee period.

How much does a Rat control cost?

The price always depends on the survey: type of pest, surface area, level of infestation, accessibility and the number of visits required. We publish indicative price ranges in full transparency, and every quote is free, itemised and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions about Rat control

Are rat baits dangerous for children and pets?

We use secure, locked bait stations that are inaccessible to children and pets, and we hand over the safety instructions after the treatment.

Can a rat really come up through the toilet?

Yes, it's a documented fact: the brown rat swims, dives and comes up through the toilet trap from the wastewater network. It's rare but very real, particularly in older buildings. A non-return valve fitted to the pipework removes that risk, and our survey will tell you whether it's warranted at your property.

What if a rat dies inside a wall?

We favour trapping in high-risk areas precisely so we can retrieve the bodies. If a smell does appear anyway, tell us: we locate the spot, remove the carcass and then disinfect the area.

Does the garden need treating as well as the building?

Often, yes. Brown rats dig burrows under decking, compost bins and log piles, then come into the building to feed. Treating only indoors leaves the colony intact outside. We inspect the whole plot and place stations wherever the runways justify it.
