Rats are one of the most common pest problems in Edinburgh. They can carry diseases including leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), contaminate food, damage property by gnawing through cables and pipes, and breed rapidly — a single pair can produce up to 200 offspring per year. Professional rat control typically involves a combination of trapping, baiting, and proofing to prevent re-entry.
Droppings (dark, spindle-shaped, 10–15mm), gnaw marks on wood/cables/plastic, greasy rub marks along walls, burrows near buildings, scratching noises at night (especially in loft spaces and wall cavities).
Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), salmonella, E. coli, property damage from gnawing (fire risk from chewed cables), contamination of food stores.
£120–£250 for a standard domestic treatment (2–3 visits)
