Rat Control in Greater Manchester & Cheshire
PestCore provides rat control Manchester property owners can rely on, including inspection, assessment and an appropriate control programme. Rats can damage property, contaminate food and spread disease, so we also look at where the problem is coming from and identify potential entry points.
Our rat control programme includes an initial inspection and assessment, control and monitoring for up to 3 visits, and identification of potential entry points. We can also carry out proofing and associated repairs to help prevent rats getting back in.
Signs You May Have Rats
Rats are often active at night and can remain hidden for some time. You may not see a rat directly, but there are several common signs that can indicate activity in or around your property.
-
Droppings – commonly found along walls, behind appliances, in cupboards, lofts, garages and other sheltered areas.
-
Scratching noises – particularly at night from walls, ceilings, floors or loft spaces.
-
Gnaw marks – damage to wood, plastic, packaging, cables or other materials.
-
Greasy rub marks – dark marks along walls or surfaces regularly used as routes.
-
Burrows or entry points – holes around buildings, drains, sheds, decking or external areas.
-
Food or packaging damage – disturbed food, torn bags or signs of feeding.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, PestCore can inspect the property, identify the extent of the activity and determine the most appropriate way forward.

Rat Proofing & Prevention
Entry Point Proofing
Gaps and openings around pipework, walls, floors and other vulnerable areas can provide rats with access into a property. We can identify and proof suitable entry points where required.
Air Bricks & Vents
Damaged or unprotected air bricks and vents can provide potential access while still needing to maintain ventilation. We can install suitable pest-resistant protection where appropriate.
Associated Repairs
Where building defects are contributing to the problem, PestCore can carry out minor associated remedial repairs to help reduce the risk of rats gaining access again.
