TP Pest Services are specialist Rat Catchers servicing the areas of Poole, Bournemouth, Ringwood, Ferndown and beyond. On this particular Friday TP Pest Services had been called out behind some local shops in Bournemouth to deal with the growing rat problem in the area. It was near the bins behind the shops where Terry Walker, a professional pest controller with over 20 years experience and the owner of TP Pest Control Services, trapped the monster rat behind the shops in an alley before sending in his trusted partner “Max the Manchester Terrier” who quickly took control of the situation.

The Biggest Rat Invasion Yet!
“Rats invade thousands of homes throughout the UK daily and the problem is not going to go away anytime soon”, Terry Walker from TP Pest Control Services said. “this 21-Inch rat is the proof that not only are there more rats in the UK than ever before, they are getting bigger by the year!”
Terry went on to say that:
“It is believed that there are around 2000+ rats per square kilometre of sewer in the UK, so we are never more than 6-10 metres away from a rat no matter where we are in the country. Dealing with rats is becoming ever more of a challenge as they are becoming ever more resistant to poisons, you should always use a professional rat catcher or pest control expert to help remove rats before they spread disease or attract more rats. It is vital that we manage and dispose of waste correctly and make sure we keep communal areas clean and tidy at all times, to avoid attracting rats and other unwanted vermin into our gardens and homes. If you require information on how to best deal with rats, you should contact your local pest control expert for helpful advice and information.”
