Rat Control & Removal Services | AgriPest Management
Rats are more than just a nuisance – they spread disease, damage property and can cause serious health risks to humans, pets, and livestock.
At AgriPest Management, we provide fast, discreet and effective rat control for homes, farms, estates and commercial properties across Yorkshire and the UK. Our treatments are 100% guaranteed, with a focus on long-term prevention.
Why You Need Professional Rat Control
Rats breed quickly and can contaminate food stores, gnaw through wiring, and undermine building structures.
DIY methods often fail because they don’t target the root cause of the infestation.
We use a combination of:
-
Professional-grade baiting systems
-
Traps and monitoring devices
-
Proofing measures to block entry points
-
Ongoing maintenance plans for farms and businesses
“We don’t just treat the problem – we help stop rats coming back.”
Rats are a persistent problem on farms and rural estates, where an abundance of food sources and shelter make ideal breeding grounds. They can infest grain stores, poultry sheds, feed silos, and machinery sheds, causing significant financial losses. On rural estates, rats can also damage historic buildings by gnawing through timber, insulation, and wiring, increasing the risk of fires.
Their constant gnawing can destroy feed bags, water pipes and cables, while contamination of feed and stored crops poses a serious health risk to livestock and humans alike. Professional rat control is essential in these environments, not only to protect stock and property but also to comply with strict food safety and hygiene regulations. AgriPest provides discreet, ongoing monitoring and control solutions for long-term protection.
For businesses, a rat problem is more than a nuisance – it’s a direct threat to your reputation, health and safety compliance and bottom line. In food production, hospitality and retail environments, rats can quickly lead to contamination of stock, closure notices and legal penalties. In warehouses, factories, and office buildings, they can damage goods, equipment and structural materials.
Rats are highly adaptable and can enter through tiny gaps, drains or loading bays. Once inside, they breed rapidly and are difficult to eradicate without professional intervention. At AgriPest, we offer discreet rat control services that fit around your operations, including ongoing monitoring contract and full proofing recommendations to stop infestations before they start.

In homes, rats pose serious health risks by spreading diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus. They can enter properties through small gaps in walls, broken air bricks, and even via drains and toilets. Once inside, they often nest in lofts, under floorboards, behind kitchen units or in garden sheds.
Aside from the health concerns, rats can cause extensive property damage by chewing through electrical cables, pipes and insulation, increasing the risk of fires and flooding. If you hear scratching in the walls or loft, notice droppings or see gnaw marks, swift action is essential. AgriPest provides rapid response rat control for households, with safe, targeted treatments and advice on proofing to prevent re-entry.
