Signs of a Rat Infestation in Your Home

Residents in Southside Dublin often face challenges with rodents due to gardens, alleyways, and older housing stock. A family recently contacted Central Pest Control after noticing:

  • Gnaw marks on furniture
  • Droppings in the kitchen
  • Occasional night sightings

Rats are not just a nuisance-they can carry bacteria and parasites that pose health risks. Acting quickly is essential.


Why You Need Professional Rodent Control

While DIY methods exist, rats are resilient and adaptable, making them hard to remove without expert help. Professional pest control provides:

  • Safe and effective eradication
  • Prevention of reinfestation
  • Guidance on home and garden management

Our Proven Step-By-Step Approach

At Central Pest Control, we use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for lasting results:

1. Inspection & Assessment

Our team conducted a thorough survey to locate:

  • Entry points
  • Nesting areas
  • Signs of rodent activity

2. Species Identification

We confirmed the presence of Norway rats, common in urban Dublin. Identifying the species ensures targeted treatment.

3. Customized Treatment Plan

Our plan included:

  • Safe baiting inside and outside the home
  • Rodent-proofing entry points
  • Homeowner advice on removing food sources and securing garden areas

4. Follow-Up & Monitoring

Subsequent visits confirmed the property was completely rat-free and no new activity had started.


Key Takeaways for Homeowners

  • Detect early: Small signs can become full infestations quickly.
  • Trust the professionals: DIY methods rarely eliminate rats entirely.
  • Prevention is essential: Structural proofing and environmental management protect your home long-term.
