Rat and Mouse Removal

If you’re hearing scratching in the walls, spotting droppings, or noticing chewed food packaging, you may have a rodent problem. At D & G Pest Control in Scunthorpe, we specialise in expert rat and mouse removal services across North Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.

Rodents can spread disease, cause property damage, and create serious hygiene concerns—especially in food environments or family homes.

We act fast and discreetly to deal with infestations before they get out of control.

Common Causes of Rat Infestations

Contrary to popular belief, rats and mice don’t only invade unclean or run-down properties. They’re highly opportunistic and can enter even the most spotless homes or businesses in search of shelter and food. Cracks in walls, gaps around pipework, or even an open door can be all it takes.

In colder months, infestations tend to rise as rodents seek warmth indoors. Businesses like takeaways, bakeries, and restaurants are especially vulnerable due to constant food sources and bin areas.

D & G Pest Control helps you locate exactly where they’re coming from—and seals the problem at its source.

Why Rodents Are a Serious Risk

Rats and mice don’t just make people feel uneasy—they’re genuine health hazards.These pests are known carriers of diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis, which can contaminate surfaces and food supplies.

They also chew through electrical cables and insulation, leading to fire risks and costly damage.

For businesses, especially those in food service or accommodation, a rodent problem can quickly become a reputation-destroying crisis.

At D & G Pest Control, we act fast to eliminate infestations and help implement prevention measures to keep rodents from coming back.

Our Rodent Control Approach

D & G Pest Control uses a combination of expert knowledge, humane traps, rodenticides, and proofing strategies to ensure your rat or mouse problem is dealt with efficiently.

Our local technicians work discreetly, tailoring treatments to your property type—be it a family home, café, school, warehouse, or farm building.

We also offer ongoing monitoring and advice to help prevent future infestations. When you work with D & G, you’re not just solving a pest problem—you’re protecting your property long-term.

Signs You Have a Rat or Mouse Problem

Spotting a rat or mouse during the day is often a sign of a larger hidden issue. Here are some of the most common signs of a rodent infestation:

  • Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings found along skirting boards, under cupboards or behind appliances.

  • Noises: Scratching sounds, particularly at night, in walls, ceilings, or under floors.

  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents chew constantly—look for damage to food packaging, cables, or wooden structures.

  • Nests: Made from shredded paper, insulation, or fabric, typically hidden in lofts, basements, or storage areas.

  • Grease Trails: Rodents tend to follow the same paths, leaving dark smudges along their routes.

If you spot any of these signs, it’s time to call in the professionals.

Don’t Let a Rat Problem Become a Crisis

Whether you’re a homeowner or run a business in North Lincolnshire or South Yorkshire, finding rats or mice on your property is a serious concern.

These pests are more than just a nuisance—they can cause extensive property damage and pose significant health risks.

Rodents are known to chew through wiring, insulation, and even pipework, often nesting out of sight in lofts, wall cavities, or under floorboards.

They multiply quickly and, once established, can be very difficult to remove without professional intervention.

For businesses, especially those in food service or hospitality, even a single rodent sighting can lead to health inspections, fines, or reputation-damaging reviews.

At D & G Pest Control in Scunthorpe, we act fast with effective, discreet rodent control solutions tailored to your property—helping you stop the problem before it escalates.

I highly recommend using this company! Glynn has been amazing; he came the very next day and started treatment. Issue with pests in my roof, and nothing was too much trouble. Just great to have him at the end of a phone call and he came when it was convenient to keep checking. Don’t look anywhere else!

Called Glyn on a Saturday night about a possible mouse problem in the loft. He came out Sunday morning, identified the issue and laid bait. He will come out as many times as it takes to rectify the issue. Excellent service and would definitely recommend. Many thanks Glyn
