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


We Provide Rat Control For:


  • Residential landlords, councils, and housing associations

  • Offices, warehouses, and commercial units

  • Restaurants, pubs, and food preparation areas
