I was delighted with the service I received from Stratton Pest Control. Prompt, accessible, professional, personable, efficient and diligent. I cannot praise them enough. Tom who dealt with the infestation was superb and my dealings with Christian equally so. I highly recommend Stratton Pest Control.

Signs you may have rats
One of the most common signs of a rat problem is scratching, scurrying or gnawing sounds coming from lofts, walls, ceilings or under floorboards, particularly at night when rats are most active.
You may also notice rat droppings, smear marks along walls, damaged food packaging, gnawed wood or plastic, or holes appearing around sheds, fencing, drains and the outside of the property.
In some cases, people first become aware of a rat issue after seeing movement in the garden, around bin storage areas, near drains or along fence lines.
Unpleasant smells, disturbed insulation and signs of nesting in lofts, garages or outbuildings can also indicate rat activity.
Rat infestations can develop quickly, so early action is important.
If you have noticed any of these signs at your property in Dunstable, professional assessment and treatment can help stop the problem from becoming more serious.

Rat problems in Dunstable and surrounding areas
Rat problems are a common issue in Dunstable for both residential and commercial properties, particularly where rats have access to food sources, waste areas, drains, gardens, lofts or outbuildings. Once rats find suitable shelter and a reliable source of food or water, activity can increase quickly and the problem can spread through different parts of the property if it is not dealt with promptly.
In homes, rat activity is often noticed around kitchens, loft spaces, sheds, garages, bin storage areas and gardens. In commercial settings, issues can develop around stock areas, service yards, refuse areas and drainage systems, where rats can cause contamination, damage and ongoing disruption.
