Safe, Reliable & Family-Owned Pest Control Solutions
Rats are one of the most persistent and destructive pests in the UK, and their presence in or around your property can quickly lead to serious health, hygiene, and structural problems. At Malvern Pest Control, we specialise in fast, effective, and discreet rat removal in Malvern and surrounding areas, including Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire. As a trusted, family-run business, we understand how important it is to protect your home or business from unwanted pests, and we’re here to help.
Why Rat Control Is Essential
Rats pose a serious threat to both health and property:
Health Risks: Rats carry a variety of dangerous diseases, including Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), Salmonella, and Hantavirus. These can be spread through rat urine, droppings, or contaminated food and surfaces.
Property Damage: Rats have strong teeth and can chew through wood, plastic, pipes, and even electrical cables—posing a serious fire risk.
Rapid Breeding: A single pair of rats can produce hundreds of offspring in a year. What starts as a small issue can quickly become an infestation.
Whether you’ve spotted droppings, heard scratching noises in the walls, or seen a rat in your garden, acting quickly is key to preventing a full-blown infestation.
Common Signs of a Rat Infestation
Many customers aren’t sure if they have rats or another pest problem. Here are common signs to look out for:
Droppings: Small, dark pellets typically found in cupboards, under sinks, or near food sources.
Gnaw Marks: Especially on food packaging, wood, cables, or insulation.
Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night, in walls, lofts, or under floorboards.
Footprints or Tail Marks: In dusty areas such as lofts or basements.
Nests: Often found in hidden, warm places using shredded materials like paper, insulation, or fabric.
Unusual Pet Behaviour: Dogs and cats may show signs of agitation if they smell or hear rats.
If you're unsure, our team at Malvern Pest Control offers free surveys to confirm rat activity and identify the source of the problem.
Our Proven Rat Removal Process
At Malvern Pest Control, we don’t believe in quick fixes. We deliver thorough, long-lasting solutions that get to the root of the problem:
1. Free Site Survey
We begin with a no-obligation survey to assess the extent of the infestation, entry points, and nesting areas. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan specific to your property.
2. Identification & Access Point Proofing
We identify how rats are entering the premises—commonly through holes in walls, broken vents, gaps in pipework, or drains. Wherever possible, we proof these access points to prevent re-entry.
3. Safe, Targeted Treatment
We use a combination of professional-grade traps and rodenticides in safe, strategic locations that are inaccessible to children and pets. All treatments comply with UK regulations and best practices under the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU).
4. Follow-Up Visits
Depending on the severity of the infestation, multiple visits may be required. We monitor traps, reassess for new activity, and ensure the rats have been fully removed.
5. Advice on Prevention
After treatment, we offer tailored advice on how to rat-proof your property long-term, including hygiene improvements, structural repairs, and landscaping changes.

How to Prevent Rats in the Future
Even after an infestation has been cleared, rats may return if the conditions remain attractive. Here are some key prevention tips:
Block Entry Points: Proof cracks, holes, and gaps in walls, pipes, and floors.
Secure Waste Bins: Use bins with tight-fitting lids and avoid leaving food waste outside.
Remove Food Sources: Store food in sealed containers and clean up crumbs and spills promptly.
Maintain Outdoor Areas: Keep gardens tidy, cut back overgrown shrubs, and remove bird food or fallen fruit that could attract rodents.
Check Drains: Rats can enter through damaged or uncapped drains—professional drain surveys can help identify vulnerabilities.

Mike was fantastic from start to finish. We had a flea issue after moving into a rental, and he was quick to respond and very professional. He treated the entire house and gave us helpful advice on what to do after treatment. We’ve not seen a single flea since. A genuinely friendly, trustworthy service.

Our bedroom carpet had bald patches, and we soon realised it was carpet moths. Mike came out, explained everything clearly, and treated the whole upstairs. He was very thorough and careful. No more moths, and we were really impressed with the service from start to finish.
