RATS
Don’t Let a Rat Problem Grow
Rats are a serious threat to health, hygiene, and property. Left unchecked, they contaminate food, spread disease, and damage structures—and can be incredibly difficult to control without professional intervention. Common issues our clients face include:
Rats entering via drains, voids, and structural defects
Chewed cables, pipes, insulation, and internal fittings
Spread of diseases like leptospirosis and salmonella
Contamination in kitchens, food stores, or commercial premises
Noise complaints and sightings from tenants or staff
Failed inspections or reputational damage in hospitality and retail settings
At Eighty Eight, we take a strategic approach to rat control, focusing on both eradication and prevention:
Full site surveys to identify burrows, droppings, trails, and entry points
Safe baiting and trapping plans tailored to residential or commercial environments
Use of locked, tamper-proof bait stations for safety
Drain surveys and recommendations for rodent-proofing at ground level
Follow-up visits to ensure eradication and prevent re-infestation
Documentation provided for insurers, housing officers, and environmental health
