Sewer and Drain Rat Solutions
Brown rats frequently exploit public sewers, sneakily accessing your property through damaged or open drainage systems. Because they are highly skilled at swimming and digging, they can quickly cause serious damage to your building’s infrastructure.
At Ultra Pest Control, we provide advanced sewer rat solutions designed to monitor, detect, and block rodent activity inside your drains, protecting your property before costly damage occurs.
Why Choose a Professional Service?
Attempting to handle a pest problem yourself can often be ineffective, frustrating, and even costly if the underlying issue is not addressed. Hiring a professional service offers several distinct advantages:
Accurate Pest Identification: At Ultra Pest Control, we use our knowledge of pest biology and behavior to identify the exact species and their nesting sites which are causing the problems.
Custom Treatment Plans: We develop a strategy based on the size of your home, the level of the infestation, and necessary preventative measures for the future.
Full & Proper Eradication: We don’t just treat the symptoms; we identify the source of the infestation to ensure long-term results.
Protection of Your Property: Pests can cause significant structural damage by chewing through wires, wood, and insulation. Early intervention prevents these costly repairs.
Safety First: Many treatments involve specialized chemicals that must be handled with care. Our trained professionals ensure that all methods are applied safely to protect your family, pets, and the environment.
Cost-Effectiveness: By providing a targeted, efficient, and permanent solution, we help you avoid the recurring costs of ineffective, DIY attempts.

How to get rid of common pests
Discovering an unwanted guest in your home or business can be incredibly stressful, but you don’t have to tackle it alone. Whether you are dealing with a sudden wasp nest, suspect a bed bug issue, or want to prevent mice and rats from entering your property, getting the right information fast is the first step toward reclaiming your space.
Below, our local pest control experts at Ultra Pest Control have answered the most common questions about the UK’s most troublesome pests, giving you practical advice on what to look out for, how to protect your property, and when it is time to bring in the professional heavy hitters. Contact us and see how we can help.
- Identify the Problem: Look for small, dark droppings (the size of a grain of rice), chewed packaging, or scratching sounds in walls and floorboards.
- Proofing & Exclusion: Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a pencil width. Seal any external holes with wire wool and caulking or a strong mortar mix.
- Sanitation: Store all dry foods in airtight glass or plastic containers and clean away crumbs instantly.
- Professional Treatment: If you have an established infestation under floorboards or in the loft, DIY traps often fail to keep up with their rapid breeding cycle. Ultra Pest Control uses highly targeted, commercial-grade baiting and tracking techniques to eliminate the nest quickly and safely.
- Spotting the Signs: Rats leave larger, capsule-shaped droppings, distinct grease/smudge marks along skirting boards, and blunt chew marks on wood or plastic.
- Remove Attractants: Stop feeding garden birds temporarily, secure all dustbins with tight lids, and fix any leaky outdoor taps (rats need a daily water source).
- Check the Drains: A massive percentage of residential rat issues stem from broken or compromised sewer pipes.
- Professional Treatment: Rats are highly intelligent and often display “neophobia” (fear of new objects), meaning they will avoid DIY traps for weeks. Our team deploys expert trapping strategies and can install specialized one-way drain valves to stop rats from entering your property from the main sewers.
- Find the Breeding Source: Flys don’t just appear; they are attracted to decomposing organic matter. Check for forgotten food, overflowing bins, or pet waste.
- Environmental Control: Install mesh fly screens on kitchen windows and doors, use covered bins, and clean drains regularly with biological cleaner to remove the biofilm that fruit flies and drain flies breed in.
- Immediate Eradication: Electric fly killers (EFKs) or sticky traps work well for active adult flies in commercial or domestic kitchens.
- Professional Treatment: For persistent infestations, cluster flies in lofts, or commercial kitchen outbreaks, we provide professional fogging treatments and ultra-low volume (ULV) misting to clear large volumes of flies instantly.
- Locate the Nest: Common spots include loft spaces, cavity walls, roof eaves, or garden bushes. Watch the flight path of the wasps on a sunny day to pinpoint the entry hole.
- Do Not Attempt DIY if Inaccessible: Spraying a nest with a retail canister can provoke a dangerous swarm attack. Wasps release a pheromone when threatened that signals the rest of the nest to defend it.
- Professional Treatment: Never block the entry hole. This forces the wasps inside your home looking for an alternative exit. Ultra Pest Control technicians use specialized lancaes to inject professional insecticidal dust directly into the heart of the nest, neutralizing it safely within a few hours.
- Identify the Infestation: Look for small, reddish-brown bugs (about the size of an apple pip), tiny black ink-like spots on bed frames, or clusters of itchy bites on your skin.
- First Steps: Do not move furniture or bedding to other rooms, as this spreads the infestation. Wash clothing and bedding at a high temperature (at least 60°C) or freeze items for 48 hours.
- Why DIY Fails: Bed bugs have developed a massive resistance to common retail surface sprays, and hiding in deep cracks, behind wallpaper, and inside electrical sockets makes them incredibly difficult to reach.
- Professional Treatment: Bed bugs require professional eradication. Ultra Pest Control uses a combination of advanced insecticide rotations and specialized heat or steam treatments to eliminate adult bugs and their eggs, completely restoring your peace of mind.
