Tell us where the rats are. We’ll send a BPCA-certified exterminator to your Surrey address.
At Omega, we are not just another pest control company. We’re BPCA-certified and rodent extermination specialists, with over three decades of experience eliminating Surrey’s toughest rat infestations.
We’ve found that Surrey’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, post-war housing estates, and newer developments around the town centre presents a wide variety of structural entry points — and we are familiar with every one of them.
Our intensive approach to extermination combines elimination, proofing, and ongoing protection. Because it works so effectively, we use the same method with our commercial properties, councils, and landlords across Surrey.
Your entire property is rat-free within two weeks, with a follow-up visit to ensure total eradication. No months of ineffective DIY attempts.
We identify rat entry points on your property and advise on the best materials to use that rats cannot chew through. Your property becomes impenetrable to rodent re-infestation.

98.8% success rate backed by our promise. Unlike DIY methods that waste your money, we guarantee elimination or return at no charge after treatment completion.
While other companies book you in for next week, we can be at your home in Surrey within 2-4 hours. Same-day treatment available, because rat emergencies can't wait.
Our 30+ years in the rodent pest control business has taught us that killing the rats you can see is only half the battle. Rats are smart and persistent little devils, but they are opportunistic feeders. If you don’t seal the entry points, new rats move in within weeks and look for food.
DIY attempts at rat control usually fail because they treat the symptom (kill the rats), not the cause (reproduction).
That’s why it is always best to invest in the best professional rat extermination in Surrey. Yes, we might be more expensive than doing it yourself, but it’s better to eradicate the problem using experienced ‘rat catchers’ rather than wasting money on guesswork or lazy rat baiting companies.
Our Professional Rat Control Process includes:
We identify every possible entry point in your home, the nesting areas, the burrows, and the feeding zones. Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm. We know where the common entry points are and we will show you where they are.
We then create a map of your home so we know can monitor the effectiveness of the traps we have laid.
We deploy professional-grade rodenticides and humane rat trapping systems (not glue traps) in these target locations. All our traps are tamper-proof and safe for pets, wildlife and children.
Our BPCA-certified rat exterminators know exactly where rats feed, nest, and travel.
This is what separates professional rat exterminators from amateurs. We seal every entry point with gnaw-proof materials — metal mesh, thick wood blocks and professional-grade sealants that rats cannot penetrate.
We also make additional recommendations where more heavy-duty solutions are required (e.g one way rat flaps in your drainage system).
Finally, we lay tracking dust inside your home, underneath kitchen cupboards and appliances. This allows us to identify any rat incursion points around your home using ultraviolet light and then take action to block entry.
On our second visit 10-15 days later, we check the bait, report on the traps, assess the tracking dust and check the incursion points to check for evidence of rodents. We are also legally obliged to remove the bait and traps from properties once the job has been completed.
Our current rat extermination rate is 98.8%, so in most cases, this is our final visit. If you have a large infestation then we may be required to return 1-2 more times, but this is unlikely.
Aside from our 30 years of rat extermination expertise, consider what you’re really paying for:
Some rat control companies only lay bait on a tray. This kills to the rats but doesn’t prevent them returning in a matter of days or weeks.
£15–30 per poison/trap × 5–6 attempts = £150+
£5,000–50,000+ from chewed wiring
£1,000–5,000 for damaged insulation, pipes, timbers
GP visits, antibiotics, potential hospitalisation from rat-borne diseases
Rat infestations can make properties unsellable
Most Surrey property owners who try DIY rat extermination first end up spending £200–400 on failed solutions, plus thousands more in rat damage, before calling us. Save yourself the health risks, property damage, and wasted money.
We typically conduct 2–3 visits over 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination and proper proofing. This isn't a one-and-done spray job — it's comprehensive professional rodent control. And because we use safe and secure bait stations, your family and pets remain safe throughout treatment.
The UK’s leading professional body for pest control. Your guarantee of expertise and ethical practice. We have been BS EN16636 assessed by the British/European standard for pest management services.
We believe so but is it worth taking the risk? Rat DIY extermination solutions rarely work because they are not treating the root cause.
Our rat pest controllers have extensive hands-on experience and a strong understanding of rat behaviour and biology. Your rat problem will not just be resolved by our experts, they will also ensure that it doesn’t happen again in the future. Using our professional ‘rat catchers’, you’ll sleep soundly at night.
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm. Common entry points include gaps around utility pipes and cables, broken or missing air bricks, damaged roof eaves and soffits, gaps under doors and garage doorways, cracks in foundations or brickwork, damaged drainage systems, gaps around window frames, and holes left by previous pipework.
Rats in urban areas are attracted to the growing rubbish and litter left in public places. Unfortunately, Surrey is no different and litter build-up, especially food waste in the warmer months causes more rat activity.
Professional rat infestation surveys identify all entry points — which is precisely why DIY approaches fail.
Yes — rats pose serious health risks. Weil’s disease (leptospirosis) can be fatal if untreated. Salmonella spreads through contaminated surfaces. Hantavirus is transmitted through rat urine and droppings. Rat-bite fever comes from bites or scratches. Rats also cause electrical fires by chewing wiring, responsible for significant UK property damage every year. This is why professional elimination is urgent, not optional.
For small, immediately caught infestations? Possibly. For established colonies? Very unlikely. DIY approaches fail because shop-bought poison is weaker than professional rodenticides, rats become trap-shy and bait-shy quickly, you can’t identify all entry points, improper bait placement risks children and pets, and dead rats in inaccessible areas create odour problems.
We’ve seen countless Woking residents waste £200–400 on DIY attempts before calling us.
One other thing to mention is that you should never leave bait out on a tray in your garden. This could potentially poison wildlife.
With professional treatment: 7–14 days for complete colony elimination, plus proofing to prevent return. The timeline depends on colony size, nesting locations, number of entry points requiring sealing, and property type. We conduct 2–3 visits over 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination and comprehensive proofing.
Rats are larger (20–25cm body length), cause more structural damage, are more cautious and harder to trap, carry more dangerous diseases, and require professional-grade control. Mice are smaller, breed even faster, and are easier to trap — but both require professional elimination. Call for accurate identification.
Not when applied professionally. We use tamper-proof bait stations inaccessible to children and pets, strategic placement in areas pets cannot reach, professional-grade rodenticides that require multiple feeds to reduce accidental poisoning risk, and clear warning signage during the treatment period. DIY poison scattered loosely is dangerous. Professional application with secure rat bait stations is safe.
If a cat or dog did happen to digest the poison, then a simple trip to the vet for a vitamin K injection will resolve the situation.
Our rat baits contain Bittrex which is a very bitter taste. Cats and dogs would spit out the bait at the first taste. The reason why rats eat it is because they do not have any sense of taste.
Yes — a 30-day guarantee. If rats return within 30 days of our 3rd treatment completion, we return for free. No questions asked. Our 98.8% success rate means this rarely happens — comprehensive proofing prevents re-infestation permanently.
Our rat pest control call-out charges start from just £95+vat. For this price we will visit your property, survey and find the rat entry points, fix the incursion points and lay the initial traps. We anticipate this will take around 1-2 hours.
The final cost depends on your property location (how far we need to travel in Surrey), property size, infestation severity, number of entry points requiring proofing, and number of follow-up visits needed. We provide FREE surveys with exact quotes before any work begins. No hidden costs. No surprises.
We then require one follow-up visit (at the same price) to remove the traps, remove the bait, and check that our extermination methods have removed your threat.
Within 2 hours for emergencies. We also offer same-day scheduled appointments. We understand rat infestations create urgent health and safety risks — not “next Tuesday” problems.
No, we only use humane rat control methods. Rat glue traps are cruel way to deal with rodents because they die slowly, often from starvation. We use rodenticide wax blocks that are laced with poison. The poison is fast-acting, and safe for children, cats and dogs.
Rats living in a house’s drainage system is common because drains are an easy entry point for rats.
Rats usually enter drainpipes when there is a collapse pipe or when a pipe is made redundant during a house extension. Builders can often bypass old pipes with new ones. While this seems logical from a building perspective, pipes left empty are seen as an easy place for rats to settle and mate. Rats then travel up drainpipes and into home to seek food.
Our rat control team are well-versed with installing rat flaps in drainage systems to prevent rats travel up pipes and into the home. We have three different sizes, 4-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch rat flats available for installation.
Don't wait while rats breed and damage continue. Call now to secure today's emergency response.
