Rats in homes and commercial premises spread disease, gnaw through wiring and pipework and breed fast. Our technicians locate runs and nests, eliminate the colony and proof your property against re-entry.
Signs to look for
- Scratching or scurrying in walls, lofts and under floors, especially at night
- Dark, capsule-shaped droppings around 1–2cm long
- Smear marks along skirtings, pipes and beams
- Gnawed wood, plastic or food packaging
The risks
- Leptospirosis (Weil's disease), salmonella and other pathogens
- Fire and flood risk from chewed electrical cables and pipes
- Failed inspections and closure risk for food businesses
Our treatment
- Full survey of the property to locate runs, nests and access points
- Targeted baiting and trapping using professional-grade rodenticides
- Safe removal of carcasses and contaminated material
- Proofing of holes, gaps and pipework to block re-entry
Prevention
- Seal gaps around pipes, vents and defective brickwork
- Keep bins sealed and remove accessible food sources
- Clear clutter and stored items from lofts and outbuildings
- Arrange regular monitoring visits for commercial sites

What our customers say about us
Great and professional service. The gentleman was very experienced and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to get rid of wasp infestation from a place that was difficult to reach. Would highly recommend.
Great service, came to the house as soon as the weather conditions were favourable for proper extermination. Dealt with a hornets nest in the middle of the lawn. Came again two days later after we found another nest in the wall of the house! Highly recommended.
Did a fantastic job with a wasps nest near the roof. Really friendly and knowledgeable. Talked me through the process and even added some wasp trivia. Would highly recommend
Excellent service. Arrived within a few hours of first contact and dealt with with our hidden (roof eaves) wasp nest extremely professionally (fully suited etc.). By the next day not a sign of any wasps :-)
Highly recommended! Had a wasp nest that we'd tried to remove ourself with zero success! Saw that Big Five Pest control had good reviews so made the call and they attended the following day. Prompt and friendly service with excellent results.... easy to award 5 stars!
