Rat Removal Bonnyrigg – Loft Rat Control and Three-Visit Riddance Programme
Rat Removal Bonnyrigg – Job Overview
Saltire Pest Control recently carried out a rat removal service in Bonnyrigg, where the homeowner reported scratching and movement noises coming from the loft space. Rodents in attic areas can cause significant damage to insulation, wiring, and structural timbers, so a prompt inspection was arranged.
During our visit, we confirmed active rat activity and began a professional three-visit rat control and removal programme to fully eradicate the infestation.
If you’re experiencing similar issues, we provide expert rat control Bonnyrigg and across Midlothian and Edinburgh.
Inspection and Diagnosis – Identifying Rat Activity and Entry Points
On the initial visit, our pest control technician carried out a full internal and external inspection of the property. In the loft space, rat droppings were discovered, confirming an active rodent infestation.
A detailed external inspection identified several potential rat entry points into the property. These areas are highlighted in the images below and will be sealed once the treatment programme has been completed.
Important: Sealing entry points during an active infestation can trap rats inside the property, which may lead to odours and further damage. Proofing works are recommended only after eradication is confirmed.

Rat Treatment – Rodenticide and Trapping Programme
To begin the eradication process, we installed professional-grade rodenticide bait stations and rat traps in strategic locations within the loft and surrounding areas.
This job is being managed through a three-visit riddance programme, with follow-up visits scheduled every 7 days. During each visit, we will:
- Check all traps and bait stations
- Monitor for ongoing rat activity
- Replace bait where required
- Inspect for new entry points or rodent signs
This structured approach ensures complete and safe rodent control and removal in Bonnyrigg.
