Typical signs
These signs point to an infestation. On the phone, we help you assess what you have found.
Large, dark droppings
Rat droppings are about the length of a bean, usually found along walls or in corners.
Fresh gnaw marks
Gnawed cables, wood, plastic pipes or sacks with light, fresh edges.
Noises at night
Scratching and scurrying in ceiling voids, walls or the cellar, often shortly after dark.
Runways and holes
Dark smear marks on the edges of walls, worn paths in the garden and burrows under the compost or garden shed.
If a child has put rat poison in their mouth, call Tox Info Suisse immediately. If a pet is affected, contact your vet straight away. Tox Info Suisse: 145

The cause, not the symptom
Certified experts identify the pest and find out where the infestation is coming from. Only then is it really over.
Gentle methods
Methods and products are tailored to the flat, house or business – with consideration for children and pets.
Discreet and clean
We work unobtrusively and leave the rooms tidy. We discuss the appointment and the procedure with you alone.
Useful facts about rats
Rats usually get into the house via the sewers, through drains or through gaps in the masonry. They are nocturnal and shy, so you tend to notice their traces first rather than the rats themselves.
Brown rats live in groups and breed all year round. Where they find food, water and shelter, they stay and establish fixed routes that they use night after night.
Poison alone does not solve the problem. What matters is finding the way into the house and sealing it permanently – otherwise new rats will move in. That is why we combine secured bait stations with work on the entry points.

Honest answers to the questions almost everyone asks. We are happy to clarify anything else in person.
What does it cost?
Our prices are transparent and fair. Give us a call – we will discuss your situation and the next steps.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Bait only goes into locked bait stations. You are told exactly where the stations are and what to watch out for with children and pets.
Will it stay discreet?
Yes. We arrive in neutral, unmarked vehicles and make sure your case is handled discreetly, so that outsiders notice nothing of the infestation.
How long does it take?
Rat control usually takes several weeks, because the bait stations need to be checked over a period of time.

Questions about rats
Your question isn’t listed?
Ask us directly: 043 508 75 29
Where do the rats come from?
Often from the sewers, via faulty pipes or floor drains. Outdoors, they are attracted by compost, bird food and open rubbish bags.
Are rats dangerous?
They can transmit pathogens and gnaw through cables or pipes. An infestation also spreads quickly if nobody intervenes.
Is a trap from the DIY store enough?
Rarely. Rats are cautious and avoid new objects. And if the entry points are not sealed, new rats will keep coming.
What should be considered in an apartment building?
The entry point is often in shared areas such as the cellar or laundry room. On request, we coordinate directly with the property management.
