Professional Rat Control in Eltham
Eltham rat problems usually start in the garden. Almost every property here has one, most have a shed or a garage, and a great many back onto another garden rather than a road - which gives a rat a continuous run for hundreds of metres without ever crossing open ground.
Gardens Are the Route, Not the Kitchen
The estate-built housing that makes up most of Eltham - the Progress Estate of 1915, the Page Estate, Middle Park, Horn Park and the 1930s streets of New Eltham on former farmland - was laid out with gardens front and back. Back gardens meeting along a shared boundary make an unbroken corridor, and decking, a shed base, a compost heap, a log store or a run of overgrown boundary all provide harbourage on the way.
Two very common contributors are worth naming because they are easy to change. Spilled seed under a bird feeder is a reliable food supply at ground level, and an open or damaged compost bin is both food and shelter. Neither causes a rat problem on its own; both keep one going.
A rat crossing the garden is not a rat living in the house. What matters is evidence of it staying - burrows against a wall or under decking, a worn run, droppings in a consistent place, or activity inside the building. If it is only the garden, say so and we will tell you honestly whether treatment is warranted.

Signs You May Need Rat Control in Eltham
The full list is on the Rat Control Greenwich page.
- Droppings in a run, not scattered. Rats travel the same route repeatedly, so droppings collect along a skirting, behind an appliance or under a sink rather than turning up randomly across a room.
- Noise with weight behind it. Movement under floorboards, in a ceiling void or behind a stud wall, usually after dark and usually in the same part of the property each night.
- Disturbed ground outside. Burrows against a wall, under decking, beside a shed base or next to a drain cover, often with a worn path leading away.
How We Deal With Rats in Eltham
The survey covers the garden and the outbuildings as well as the house, because in Eltham the harbourage is usually outside and the building is where it has got to.

Do I need to get rid of the compost heap?
Not necessarily, but an open heap or a damaged bin is shelter and food in one place. A closed bin sitting on a hard base rather than bare soil removes most of the attraction without removing the compost.
How much does rat control cost in Eltham?
Flats £190 | Houses £240 - the same published figure everywhere we cover.
How do I know whether I have rats?
Droppings collecting along one route rather than scattered, gnawing on things that are not food, weighty movement under a floor or above a ceiling after dark, or burrows against a wall outside.
Do you help landlords and rental properties?
Yes. Eltham's estate housing includes a substantial rented sector and we take enquiries from landlords, letting agents and tenants.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. The parades and local premises around Eltham High Street and New Eltham are covered, and commercial enquiries are welcome.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and describe what you have found, whether it is in the house, the garden or an outbuilding, and whether it started recently. For rats, the useful details are which room, whether it is above you or below you, and whether anything has changed outside recently.
