Rat Control Warrington
Rats in the loft, under the floor or in the garden? TTOCS Pest Control is a local Warrington rat catcher. I find out how rats are getting in, deal with the activity and close the route so they don’t come back.
Signs You Have Rats
Early identification helps prevent larger problems. Common signs include:
Scratching
Scratching or scurrying in lofts, walls or under floorboards
Droppings
Dark droppings around 12mm long along runs and in lofts
Gnaw Marks
Gnawed wires, pipes, timber or food packaging
Grease Marks
Dark smear marks along walls and skirting
Burrows
Holes near paths, sheds, decking or drains
Rats are highly adaptable and often enter properties through drains, air bricks, damaged brickwork or small structural gaps. They carry disease, contaminate food and gnaw through wiring, insulation and pipework.
Baiting on its own rarely solves a recurring problem. Every job starts with an inspection to find the entry point. Trapping and proofing come first, with rodenticides used only as a last resort and always in line with best practice and legislation.
Our Rat Control Service
Each treatment is planned around the property and the level of activity found.
Rat control in Warrington includes:
- Full property inspection and risk assessment
- Identification of entry points
- Targeted trapping and treatment plans
- Rodent proofing
- Ongoing monitoring if required
We treat both residential and commercial properties across Warrington, in line with UK pest control regulations.
Rats Keep Coming Back?
If rats return after treatment, the entry point usually hasn’t been found. In many Warrington homes the route is a defect in the underground drainage.
Common hidden routes include:
- Broken or displaced drain pipes
- Redundant drain connections
- Defective gullies and rest bends
- Gaps around pipework and services
- Damaged air bricks
A CCTV drain survey shows exactly where rats are getting in, so it can be repaired rather than treated over and over.
Proofing After Treatment
Once activity is under control, proofing closes the gaps rats used to get in.
Proofing can include:
- Steel mesh over air bricks and vents
- Sealing gaps around pipes and cables
- Repairs to damaged brickwork
- Non-return rat blockers fitted in drains
Proofing is the step that turns a treatment into a long-term solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it’s rats or mice?
Rats leave bigger droppings (around 12mm) and are often heard in lofts or drains. Mice leave smaller droppings (3–6mm) and are commonly found in kitchens and wall cavities.
How do rats get into houses?
Most often through defective drains, gaps around pipework, damaged air bricks and holes in brickwork. A professional inspection finds the route.
How long does rat treatment take?
Many cases are brought under control within a few visits, with follow-up monitoring where needed.
Do you use poison?
Trapping and proofing come first. Rodenticides are a last resort, used in line with best practice and legislation.
