We work for site operators and managers who cannot, by law or by policy, use rodenticides, particularly food waste transfer stations, composting facilities and anaerobic digestion plants, as well as farms, feed stores and commercial premises where poison would contaminate product or the environment.
If your site faces external rat pressure and a zero-tolerance approach to bait, this is the service for you. We cover the South West and home counties, and travel to high-value commercial and food-waste sites nationwide by arrangement.
Poison-Free Option
Fully Documented
Our entire service is built around one method: controlled, methodical shooting carried out by a qualified marksman using precision pre-charged pneumatic air rifles and night-vision or thermal optics. Rats are identified, confirmed and dispatched cleanly at the point of activity, around feed points, runs, burrows and harbourage.
Because we use no bait, there is no lag waiting for poison to take effect, no risk of dead rodents decaying in inaccessible areas, and no chemical residue entering the waste stream. The result is immediate, visible and fully accountable.
Why clients choose us
Every site is surveyed and worked by an experienced controller, never handed to a junior or a franchisee. You deal with the person doing the job.
Visit reports, counts and observations are part of the service, not an extra. We give waste and commercial sites the paperwork auditors and insurers expect.
If shooting is not the right answer for your site, we will tell you. We refer work we cannot do to a high standard rather than take it on badly.
In the field
Most of our control takes place at dusk or through the night, when rats are active and sites are quiet. These images show the reality of the job.

“We cannot use bait on site, full stop. Their shooting programme has kept our rat numbers down to almost nothing for over a year now, and the visit reports make audit day straightforward. Genuinely the only method that has worked for us.”
