That is why we offer a rapid response time, typically getting back to enquiries within four hours and offering same-day appointments across Lancashire.

At Pest Medic, we take our legal and ethical responsibilities seriously. All our rat control operations in Accrington are conducted in strict accordance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and current COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations. We ensure that our methods are humane and that non-target species, such as local birds or domestic pets, are never put at risk. Our technicians are highly trained in the safe use of professional rodenticides, ensuring they are placed in tamper-resistant stations that are inaccessible to children and animals.For our commercial clients, we provide full documentation to ensure compliance with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and local Environmental Health standards. This is particularly vital for restaurants, hotels, and schools in Accrington that must maintain a pest-free status to operate legally. We don't just remove the rats; we provide the professional audit trail you need to prove your business is safe and compliant. If your infestation has left behind a mess, we also recommend our specialist decontamination and biohazard cleaning to ensure all traces of disease-carrying waste are safely removed.

Simply removing the rats currently in your building is only half the battle. If the entry points are not addressed, new rodents will eventually find their way back in. This is why Pest Medic offers specialist rodent proofing services as a core part of our treatment plans. We use high-quality materials to seal gaps in brickwork, around pipes, and under doors, effectively turning your property into a fortress against pests.In many cases in the Accrington area, rat problems stem from defects in the local sewerage system. Rats are excellent swimmers and often enter buildings through broken or redundant drainage pipes. To combat this, we offer professional drain inspections using CCTV technology. By identifying collapsed pipes or open junctions underground, we can install rat blockers or recommend repairs that stop the infestation at its very source. This holistic approach is what sets us apart from standard pest control companies and ensures your peace of mind for years to come.
