Frequently Asked Questions — Rat Control in Oundle

How do I know if I have a rat infestation in my Oundle property?

Common signs include dark, pellet-shaped droppings, gnaw marks on woodwork or cables, greasy smear marks along walls, scratching noises — particularly at night — and the presence of nesting materials such as shredded paper or insulation in hidden areas like lofts, basements, or under floorboards.

Are the treatments you use safe for children and pets?

Yes. We use professional-grade products that are applied strictly in accordance with COSHH regulations and manufacturer guidelines. Bait stations are tamper-resistant and placed in secured locations. We’ll advise you of any precautions to take after treatment to ensure your household remains safe throughout the process.

How quickly can you respond to a rat problem in Oundle?

We aim to offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent cases in and around Oundle. For emergency call-outs where there is an immediate risk to health or property, we will do our best to attend as quickly as possible, often within a few hours of your initial contact.

How long does a rat treatment take to work?

Most infestations show a significant reduction within 5–7 days of the first treatment visit. A full treatment programme typically spans two to three visits over two to three weeks. Complete eradication timescales depend on the infestation size, but we monitor progress at every visit to ensure the treatment is working effectively.

Will rats come back after treatment?

Without proofing measures, there is always a risk of re-infestation. We strongly recommend combining treatment with exclusion work to seal entry points. Cambridge Pest Control Pros can also set up an ongoing monitoring contract to provide regular checks and early intervention, significantly reducing the chances of future rat activity on your property.

Can rats cause damage to my home or business?

Absolutely. Rats gnaw constantly to keep their teeth worn down and will chew through electrical cables, water pipes, insulation, and timber joists. This can lead to electrical faults, flooding, and structural weakening. They also carry diseases such as Weil’s disease and Salmonella, making prompt professional treatment essential for both safety and property protection.

Do I need to leave my home during rat treatment?

In most cases, no. Standard baiting and trapping treatments do not require you to vacate your property. Our technician will advise you if any specific precautions are needed based on the products used. We always work to minimise disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the treatment is as effective as possible.
