Worried About Rats? Get Safe, Fast, and Professional Help Today
Spotting a rat in your home or business can be a deeply unsettling experience — and for good reason. Rats don’t just cause damage, they carry dangerous diseases like Weil’s disease (Leptospirosis), Salmonella, and Hantavirus, putting your health and safety at serious risk.
If you’ve heard scratching in your walls, spotted droppings, or noticed gnawed wires or floorboards, don’t ignore it. Briarquest Pest Control provides fast, discreet and humane rat control for homes and businesses across Scunthorpe, Hull, Grimsby, Doncaster and North Lincolnshire.
The Risks of a Rat Infestation
Rats are nocturnal, which means you may not see them — but the signs are usually there:
Gnaw marks on wood, wiring or pipework
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or lofts
Droppings or urine smells around your home or workplace
Greasy smear marks along walls or baseboards
Nests in loft insulation, outbuildings or under floorboards
Rats are highly destructive and breed rapidly. A single pair can lead to dozens within a matter of weeks. That’s why acting early is crucial.
How Briarquest Removes Rats from Your Property
We don’t guess — we assess. Our professional rat control process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the source, access points, and scale of the infestation. We then develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include:
Strategic placement of traps and monitoring stations
Non-toxic and humane methods where appropriate
Drain surveys, to detect and address hidden rat entry points
Removal of contaminated materials, including damaged loft insulation
Follow-up visits and prevention advice to stop them coming back
Our RSPH Level 2 certified team has access to professional-grade treatments not available to the public — giving you a level of protection and peace of mind that DIY solutions simply can’t offer.
Rat Control for Businesses
Rats in a commercial property can do more than damage — they can shut your business down. Whether you run a café, warehouse, care home or office, a rat infestation puts your stock, equipment, staff and reputation at risk. If reported, it could result in:
Enforcement action or temporary closure
Failed health inspections
Damage to your brand or customer trust
That’s why Briarquest offers rapid response services for commercial rat problems, as well as year-round pest control contracts to keep your premises protected. We carry out routine checks, apply preventative treatments, and help you stay compliant — all while spreading the cost over the year.
