  • Ratting – We use a highly trained team of terriers to control rat infestations across the UK. Ratting is an effective and environmentally friendly method of rat control. It involves identifying the location and extent of the rat infestation, specially adapted smokers flush out the rats and are dispatched by the terriers. Ratting has a proven success rate on both small and large scale infestations, eliminating hundreds of rats in a matter of hours. Ratting can be carried out in various environments, from pig farms, bakeries, industrial estates to waste recycling plants, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Night Vision Shooting & Thermal Imaging – We use FAC rated silenced air rifles with night vision and state of the art thermal imaging sights. This is an extremely effective method of rat control, as not only are the rats not aware of the marksman, but this covert method is very useful in sensitive public locations. We can quickly eliminate large colonies of rats quietly, quickly and with very little fuss. The rat issue is eliminated, and the general public will be unaware the treatment has took place.
  • Rat Proofing – At Landmark, we use high quality materials to install long lasting rat proofing to prevent any future infestations. Rat proofing is durable and can be used on various locations such as home dwellings, shops, warehouses, leisure facilities to name a few.
