Rat Control South & West London
Fast, Professional & Guaranteed Rat Removal for Homes and Businesses
Rats are one of the most serious pest problems in London. They spread disease, chew through electrical wiring, damage property, and contaminate food. Once inside, rats breed quickly and often remain hidden until the infestation becomes severe. At Bravo Pest Control, we provide fast, effective and affordable rat control services across South and West London, delivering long-term protection for your home or business.
🐭Professional Rat Control Services in South & West London
Detailed Rat Inspection
Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection to identify where rats are entering, locate burrows or nesting areas, assess the level of activity, and check for structural vulnerabilities that allow rats to move around your property. We explain our findings clearly and outline the treatment plan before any work begins.
Safe & Effective Rat Treatment
We tailor every treatment to the severity of the infestation. This can include professional-grade rodenticides in secure bait boxes, powerful snap traps in key locations, and external baiting for garden or alleyway activity. All methods comply with UK safety regulations and are designed to protect families, pets, and businesses while eliminating rats quickly and efficiently.
Proofing & Prevention
Once rats have been removed, we seal common entry points such as gaps around pipes, drains, air bricks, vents, broken brickwork and holes in the fabric of the building. Proofing is crucial for long-term control — without it, new rats can easily re-enter from underground networks or nearby properties.
🐭 Rats Pest Control Costs
Rat control pricing depends on the size of the property, the level of infestation, access to potential entry points, and the number of visits required. In South and West London, initial rat treatments typically range between £140 and £200, which includes a full inspection and the first stage of treatment. Follow-up visits usually cost £70 to £100, depending on the complexity of the case. Proofing work — such as sealing holes, repairing vents, blocking drainage access points or reinforcing structural weak spots — generally ranges from £100 to £300, depending on the materials needed and the level of damage.
Every rat infestation is unique, so we always provide clear, fixed pricing after assessing your property and discussing the most effective treatment plan.

Rat Control FAQs
1. How quickly can you remove rats from my property?
Most infestations begin to decline quickly after the first treatment, but complete removal usually takes 1–3 visits, depending on the severity and whether rats are entering from external sources such as drains or neighbouring properties.
2. Are your rat treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. All bait stations are tamper-proof and placed in locations that are inaccessible to pets and children. We follow strict UK safety guidelines and always explain how to keep your home safe during treatment.
3. Do I need proofing after rat removal?
In almost all cases, yes. Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 2–3 cm, so sealing entry points is essential to prevent re-infestation. Without proper proofing, rats may return even after successful treatment.
4. How do rats get into South & West London homes?
Most rats enter through structural gaps, broken vents, damaged drains, pipework holes, and accessible air bricks. They can also travel through shared walls in terraced or converted properties, which are common in South & West London.
