Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions asked by our customers:
What do rat droppings look like uk?
Rat droppings in the UK are typically small, dark pellets, about 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch long, with a pointed or spindle shape. Fresh droppings are dark and moist but become lighter and harder over time. They are often found in clusters in places where rats are active, such as near food sources or nesting areas.
Where can I buy rat poison near me?
To find rat poison near you, you can check several types of stores and online retailers. Here are a few options you can consider:
Local Hardware Stores: Stores like B&Q, Wickes, and Homebase often stock pest control products, including rat poison.
You can visit their websites to check availability and locate the nearest store.
Supermarkets: Large supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Asda often have a section for household and garden supplies where you can find rat poison.

Can I shoot rats in my garden?
In the UK, it is legal to shoot rats in your garden, but there are several important considerations and regulations you must follow to ensure that you are doing so legally and safely:
1. Legal Permissions: You must have permission from the landowner to shoot on their property. If you own the garden, this is straightforward, but if not, you need to obtain permission.
2. Airguns: Most people use airguns to shoot rats. Ensure your airgun complies with UK laws, which limit the power to 12 ft-lbs for air rifles and 6 ft-lbs for air pistols without requiring a firearms certificate. Higher-powered airguns require a firearms certificate.
3. Safety: Safety is paramount. You must ensure that you have a safe backstop to prevent stray pellets from causing harm or damage. Shooting should be conducted in a manner that minimizes risks to people, pets, and property.
4. Humane Treatment: It is illegal to cause unnecessary suffering to animals. Ensure that your shooting is accurate and humane, aiming to kill the rat instantly.
5. Local Regulations: Check for any local bylaws or restrictions that may apply to shooting in your area.
6. Neighbours: Inform your neighbours about your intentions. While not a legal requirement, it is courteous and can help prevent misunderstandings or complaints.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to resources such as the UK Government’s website on air weapons and pest control or consult local wildlife authorities.
For comprehensive information, here are some useful resources:
BASC – Air Rifles and the Law
UK Government – Air Weapons: A Brief Guide to Safety
These resources provide detailed information on legal requirements and safety practices when using airguns for pest control in the UK.
Do rats have fleas?
Yes, rats can have fleas. In fact, rats are known carriers of several types of fleas, including the Oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis), which is notorious for spreading diseases such as the plague (Yersinia pestis) and murine typhus.
Fleas on rats can pose significant health risks, not just to the rats themselves but also to humans and pets that might come into contact with these fleas. Flea bites can cause itching, irritation, and allergic reactions, and in some cases, they can transmit serious diseases.
Here are a few sources for more detailed information:
PestWorld.org: This site provides comprehensive information on various pests, including rats and their associated fleas, along with the health risks they pose.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): The CDC has detailed information on diseases transmitted by fleas, including those commonly found on rats.
National Health Service (NHS): The NHS website offers advice on dealing with fleas and preventing infestations, which can be useful if you suspect rats or fleas in your home.
Taking preventive measures, such as maintaining cleanliness, sealing entry points to your home, and using appropriate pest control methods, can help reduce the risk of flea infestations from rats.
Do Rats Have An Odor?
Yes, rats can have a distinctive odor. This odor is often due to several factors:
Urine and Feces: Rats frequently mark their territory with urine, which has a strong, musky smell. Accumulation of urine and feces in an area can lead to a noticeable and unpleasant odor.
Body Odor: Rats themselves can have a musky scent. Male rats, in particular, may have a stronger smell due to their scent glands.
– Nesting Material: Rats often use various materials to build their nests, which can include food remnants, fur, and other debris. As these materials decompose, they can produce a foul smell.
– Dead Rats: If a rat dies within a wall or another hard-to-reach area, the decomposing body can emit a very strong, unpleasant odor.
To manage and reduce rat odors, it’s essential to address the underlying causes:
Cleaning: Regularly clean areas where rats have been present, removing any droppings and nesting material.
Pest Control: Implement effective pest control measures to reduce the rat population.
Seal Entry Points: Prevent rats from entering your home by sealing gaps and cracks.
Glamorgan Pest Control can help with all of these issues at an affordable price.

Glamorgan Pest Control Rates: We do not charge a call out fee. Initial treatments are commonly around £50 and follow up visits £25 each.
Clearly pricing will vary based on the size of property, complexity and infestation levels but we will clearly outline the price before commencing treatment.
Do Rats Lay Eggs?
No, rats do not lay eggs. Rats are mammals, and like all mammals, they give birth to live young. Female rats have a gestation period of about 21-23 days and typically give birth to litters of 6-12 pups.
The young are born blind and hairless and are cared for by their mother until they are weaned at around three to four weeks old.
