About Our Rat & Rodent Control Services
Alternative Pest Solutions provides commercial rat and rodent control for warehouses, food and beverage sites, restaurants, housing associations, councils, facilities management companies, industrial premises, agricultural land and managed properties.
Rats and rodents can cause serious problems for businesses. They can damage stock, contaminate surfaces, affect hygiene standards, create odour issues and cause concern for staff, tenants, customers or site visitors.
Our approach is based on understanding why the rodent activity is happening, not just removing the immediate problem. We assess the site, identify access points, consider surrounding risk factors and recommend a control plan based on the building, pest activity and level of urgency.
Why Commercial Rat & Rodent Control Matters
Rodents, including rats and mice, are more than just a nuisance. For commercial, agricultural and managed sites, they can create health, safety, operational and reputational issues if they are not dealt with properly.
Rats and rodents can chew through electrical wiring, insulation, timber, packaging and stored goods, creating costly damage and potential fire risks.
Their droppings and urine can contaminate surfaces, stock, food preparation areas, storage spaces and voids. This can be especially serious for food and beverage sites, warehouses, restaurants, farms, housing associations and public-facing premises.
Effective rodent control is not just about removing visible activity. It is about identifying how rodents are getting in, why they are there, and what needs to change to stop the problem returning.
Detecting Rodent Activity in Hard-to-See Areas
Rat activity is not always limited to ground level. Rodents can move through roof spaces, wall voids, pipework, beams, storage areas and other hidden parts of a building.
Using thermal imaging and night vision technology, our team can investigate areas that may not be obvious during a standard visual inspection. This helps us identify where rats are travelling, nesting or accessing the building, even when the activity is not immediately visible.
By understanding the full scale and location of the problem, we can tailor the most suitable treatment plan, whether that involves baiting, trapping, monitoring, proofing, contamination cleaning or professional shooting where appropriate.
This is especially useful for warehouses, food sites, farms, industrial premises, loft spaces, plant rooms and large commercial buildings where rodents may be active above ground, behind structures or in difficult-to-access areas.
Our Rodent Control Services
We provide a complete and professional approach to rat and rodent management, from fast response through to long-term prevention and clean-up.
Emergency Rat Removal
If rats are active in a commercial building, food premises, warehouse, loft space, bin store, agricultural site or industrial unit, quick action is often needed.
We can assess the issue, identify the likely source of activity and put appropriate control measures in place. Once the immediate issue is under control, we will advise on the steps needed to reduce the chance of rats returning.
Baiting & Monitoring Programmes
For many commercial sites, rat and rodent control is not a one-off visit. Ongoing baiting and monitoring may be needed to keep activity under control and identify issues before they become more serious.
This can be suitable for warehouses, food and beverage sites, restaurants, commercial kitchens, agricultural sites, housing associations, bin stores, waste areas and facilities-managed properties.
Rodent Surveys & Risk Assessments
We begin with a site inspection to assess the level of rodent activity, likely nesting areas, access points, food sources and risk areas.
This helps us build a tailored treatment plan based on the property, the species involved and the level of urgency.
Commercial & Agricultural Rodent Control
We support commercial, agricultural and managed sites with discreet, compliant rodent control solutions.
This includes farms, food sites, warehouses, industrial premises, public-facing businesses, housing associations and facilities-managed properties.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Rodent proofing is one of the most important parts of long-term rat and rodent control.
Rats and mice can enter buildings through small gaps, damaged brickwork, pipework, drains, doors, vents, roof spaces, crawl spaces and service entry points. Without proofing, the same problem can return even after successful control.
Our proofing work can include identifying access points, sealing gaps and entry routes, advising on drainage or structural issues, and reducing harbourage and nesting opportunities.
Rodent Contamination Cleaning
Rodent infestations can leave contamination behind, particularly in lofts, storage areas, voids, plant rooms, food-adjacent spaces and areas where rodents have nested or travelled regularly.
Rodent contamination may include droppings, urine, nesting materials, odour, damaged insulation or contaminated surfaces. In some cases, the area may need professional cleaning or biocide treatment before it can be safely used again.
Rat & Rodent Control for Commercial Sites
We support organisations that need a reliable, compliant and practical approach to rodent control.
We regularly work with:
Warehouses & Industrial Sites
Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens
Food & Beverage Sites
Housing Associations
Councils & Local Authorities
Facilities Management Companies
Agricultural & Land-Based Sites
Commercial Estates & Managed Properties
Each site is different, so the method used will depend on the building, the pest activity, the risk level and the long-term prevention options available.
