FAQ About The Rat Control Service
Rats are intelligent animals and they are hard to trick into eating poison or getting caught in a trap. That’s why you might not be successful if you try to get rid of them on your own. A professional rat exterminator will not only place the traps and baits strategically but they know exactly when to do what and will know where to look for entry points and will seal them with steel wool so they cannot gnaw through it.

A: Yes, they certainly can. That’s why it is important to not only have a strong house base, but also strong roof, and preferably window screens. Rats can climb vertical surfaces with ease so make sure you secure your home top to bottom.
A: No one can say for sure. That’s why we offer 3-month guaranteed rat control service. It includes two free visits from the technicians (you have to call and schedule the visits) during which they re-bait the traps and if necessary move them around for more efficiency.
A: You can. Make sure your grass is regularly cut. Remove clutter, close garbage can, remove standing water, place bird feeders high above the ground, remove pet food. You can also plant mint at all corners and edges of the garden, as it can keep rats at bay.
A: Plants like mint, daffodils, pepper are said to repel rats. Also having a pet cat or dog might scare them away but not necessarily. But if your methods don’t work, don’t wait too long until you call professional exterminators.

I would have been nice if the world worked in a way that if you once get bed bugs and get rid of them they never reappear, but it doesn't. I've had to call for bed bug treatment two times in the last five years and have trusted Panther Pest Control both times. They get the job done without any hassle, plus the prices are budget-friendly. I hope I never have to use them again, but totally recommend them to people in need of adequate pest control treatment in the London area.

Rang the phone, got a quote and booked right away. In two days the flat was already treated for bed bugs and a second visit was scheduled. Quick and professional guys! Loved using Panther Pest Control and strongly recommend them. The price was ok, the exterminators were thorough and gave me some advice. Hopefully I won't have to use them again though.

We’ve never had this many squirrels in the yard before. Maybe one or two have been spotted the previous spring but this year the population has increased a lot! We are afraid of disease transmission and I had to call the exterminators. I’m glad no squirrel were killed. Instead, they were safely trapped and removed from the property.

When my husband and I returned from the holiday in Eastern Europe everything was fine until our bodies got covered in red itchy marks. There were bed bugs all over the apartment. Luckily, the company had a free slot for bed bug treatment on the very same day. We had to spend the night on the bed to lure the bed bugs out and they were fully exterminated by the pesticide.

The nest in the backyard turned out to be made by wasps not bees, which made us call professional pest technicians to deal with it. They carefully removed it and no one was hurt during or after the treatment. Very good job.

Facts About Rats
Roughly 50% of the Norway rat population harbours the Weils disease, which they spread through their urine. Contamination results in flu-like symptoms, as well as kidney failure and jaundice. In some cases, the disease can even be a cause of death, as with Olympic gold medallist Andy Holmes.
Norway rats are very agile, as they can perform both vertical (up to 77 cm) and horizontal jumps (more than 120 cm).
Rats are born with long incisor teeth, which continue to grow longer and longer throughout their lifetime. To ease this growth and wear their teeth down, they must constantly gnaw at whatever they can. Of course, this tends to cause a lot of problems for us, considering they usually chomp through pipes and wires.
The most profuse species of rat in the entirety of the United Kingdom is the common brown rat, also known as the Norway rat. These critters are usually found within burrows and in sewage systems.
Rats are very good swimmers. In fact, they are able to get into your bathroom by swimming the entire way to the toilet through the sewers. Rats can hold their breath underwater for 3 minutes. When their head is above the water, they are able to swim for 3 days without stopping.
When tickled, rats release ultra-sonic sound which is their way of laughing. In that aspects, rats are not a lot different than people, their brain reacts the same way as the humans’ when the rodents are being tickled. The area in the brain that gets stimulated during a tickle in both – people and rats, is called somatosensory cortex.
