Rat Control Services in London, Ontario
Inspection-based rat control focused on identifying exterior activity, access points, and conditions that allow rats to remain established around structures.
6-Month Service Warranty
All rat exterminations and treatment services include a 6-month service warranty.
Where structural exclusion work for rats is completed, a 2-year exclusion warranty applies to sealed access points.
Warranty coverage depends structure, and findings at inspection. Full terms are reviewed prior to treatment or service.
Rat Control & Rat Exclusion Services in London
Our rat control services focus on identifying exterior activity, locating access points, and assessing conditions that support ongoing rat presence. Control measures are applied based on the level of activity observed, and exclusion recommendations are provided where structural access points allow rats to enter or remain established.

What sets us apart
Assessment
Rat activity is evaluated by identifying movement patterns, access points, and conditions that allow harbourage within and around the structure.Approach
A clear course of action is established based on how rats are entering, moving through, and using the property — not on generic rat treatment assumptions.Treatment / Control
Control measures are applied in a targeted manner appropriate to the level of activity, site conditions, and surrounding environmental pressure. Control process includes bait, traps and one-way-doors.Follow-Up (If Required)
Because rat activity often involves external pressure or multiple access points, follow-up visits or additional measures are discussed when conditions indicate they are necessary.
How We Treat Rat Control Service Calls
You call
Speak with experienced staff who assess the situation and, where appropriate, arrange a rodent control service call based on urgency and availability.
Inspection
Once on site, the technician evaluates rat activity by identifying access points, movement routes, and conditions that allow harbourage within and around the structure.
Treatment
Control measures are applied based on confirmed activity and site conditions. Interior vs exterior treatments only or both.
Recommendations
Based on the findings, the technician explains options for rodent exclusion, follow-up visits, or other longer-term measures where conditions indicate they may be necessary.

Rat Patterns We See In London Homes
Rat activity in London properties tends to be established and persistent rather than incidental. During inspections, rats are most often found nesting and travelling outside the structure, with activity centered around foundations, garages, sheds, and waste areas.
Common signs include burrowing along foundations, gnawing damage, grease marks, and consistent travel routes between food sources and shelter. Rats frequently access buildings through damaged foundations, gaps around utility penetrations, doors, and deteriorated exterior materials.
Unlike mice, rat activity is often sustained by exterior conditions such as accessible food sources, clutter, and nearby shelter. Without addressing these contributing factors and access points, rat populations can remain active even when control measures are in place.
Why Mouse Problems Keep Coming Back Without Exclusion
- Rats often establish exterior nesting areas and repeatedly access the interior through the same entry points
- Interior trapping or baiting may reduce activity inside the building but does not stop new rats from entering
- Open access points allow exterior rat populations to continue feeding and moving indoors
- Damaged foundations, utility penetrations, doors, and structural gaps are commonly reused entry routes
- Interior activity often returns once control measures are removed if exclusion has not been completed
- Seasonal changes can increase interior pressure as rats seek shelter and food
- Long-term resolution depends on identifying and sealing entry points that allow rats to enter the structure
Because these issues follow predictable patterns, effective rat control in London starts with a proper inspection — not just treatment..
Every London House Is Different. Rat Patterns Repeat
Every property in London has different construction details, exterior conditions, and surrounding environments, but rat activity tends to follow repeatable patterns. Rats are highly dependent on exterior shelter, food sources, and access points, often establishing burrows or travel routes along foundations, garages, sheds, and adjacent structures. Once these pathways are established, rats will continue to use the same routes to access buildings.
Older properties may develop access points over time through foundation deterioration and aging materials, while newer buildings can have gaps created during construction or where exterior components meet. Interior rat activity often reflects these exterior conditions, with rats repeatedly entering through the same openings. Without identifying and addressing these access points, rat problems tend to return even after control measures reduce activity.
