Rat Control For Your Business

Every effective rat control programme begins with a meticulous on-site survey conducted by a qualified pest management expert. We thoroughly inspect the premises for current signs of infestation, potential entry points, and environmental factors that contribute to rodent activity.

Rentokil services a diverse range of commercial sites annually, from hospitality venues and supermarkets to large-scale logistics and pharmaceutical centres. Our technicians utilise the myRentokil platform to record all service data in real-time, providing you with transparent access to service reports, site maps, and compliance records 24/7.

Rentokil’s technicians are trained to the highest industry standards (Level 3 Award in Pest Management Services – Trained Professional User) and operate under best practice guidance to ensure all control methods, including rodenticide use, are handled responsibly. With nationwide coverage and detailed digital service reporting via myRentokil you maintain complete visibility of site activity, treatment trends, and overall efficacy.

Modern businesses require sophisticated and smarter solutions. Rentokil integrates innovative hardware with data-driven insights to deliver advanced, compliant, and highly efficient pest management.

Our Dual AutoGate system uses advanced sensors to detect rodent movement and only enables access to the bait when activity is confirmed. This critical feature significantly reduces environmental exposure while maintaining optimal control efficacy.

• External Dual AutoGate: Strategically installed around building perimeters, loading bays, and waste disposal areas to intercept rats before they gain entry to the property.
• Internal Dual AutoGate: Discreet units for use in internal utility spaces such as storerooms, plant rooms, or service corridors where traditional baiting is restricted.

Rentokil’s PestConnect system provides real-time monitoring for rodents through a network of connected sensors and smart traps. When a rat is detected or captured, technicians receive an instant alert, enabling rapid response and prevention before the infestation can spread or establish.

All generated data is logged and accessible via the myRentokil dashboard, offering detailed trend analysis, activity heatmaps, and comprehensive service records—all essential for audit-ready compliance.

Professional baiting and trapping remain foundational components of commercial rodent control, but they must be executed safely and in compliance with regulations.

• Each bait box is labelled and tracked as part of your comprehensive site documentation.
• Our technicians meticulously evaluate the environment prior to installation to ensure the most effective and safest placement of the stations.

• Adheres to industry Best Practice guidelines.
• Significantly reduces risks of product loss and contamination.
• Protects the safety of staff and customers.
• Minimises operational downtime due to pest activity.

Following successful treatment, lingering decomposition odours from inaccessible deceased rodents can pose a hygiene problem.

Rentokil’s specialist rodent odour control units are designed to neutralise and eliminate these smells at the source, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.

• How It Works: Our vapour-based scenting cubes release professional-grade neutralising compounds that counteract odours right at the source. They offer superior effectiveness over aerosols or sprays, lasting for several hours per dose without leaving any residue.
• Example: If a restaurant experiences a foul odour after treatment in an inaccessible ceiling void, our odour control cubes neutralise the smell, allowing the business to maintain hygiene standards and professionalism without expensive structural work.

• Rapidly eliminates unpleasant and disruptive smells.
• Reduces the need for costly structural investigation or carcass removal.
• Maintains a clean, welcoming, and professional business environment.
• Provides reassurance for both customers and employees.
