21 Inch Mega Rat in the UK

Below you will find a link to an article written by The Guardian newspaper and we are sharing it with our customers as it provides some very important and updated information about the increase in the size of rats in the UK. In January 2017, a rat was found in Dorset measuring 19 inches long. Then in December of the same year, another rat was caught and measured 20 inches nose to tail, this time in Hampshire. Now an even bigger rat has been caught measuring 21 inches, this time back in Dorset!

The article discusses if the number of rats in the UK are increasing on a whole, if they are indeed growing in size, and what could be the cause.

Customer Testimonials

Genesis Pest Control could not have been more helpful. Having contacted a couple of other companies who indicted they could not help us, Genesis came up with various solutions to eradicate the problem of squirrels in our eaves.

A number of methods were used until the problem had been solved. Thank you so much for your perseverance, prompt responses and for going out of your way to help us.

I would not hesitate to recommend this company. So friendly, helpful too!

Just a quick note to thank you for a quick, efficient and very friendly (and informative) service!

We have been using Genesis for the past 4 years. We have always found them to be professional, efficient and diligent. As well as our monthly visits/reviews they are also contactable in an extra ordinary situation, which we have found useful in the past, within hours of the call being made they have been at site dealing with the issue for us. A comprehensive log of all works carried out is left at site and maintained in line with work done. Overall I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Thanks again for dealing with the rat problem we were experiencing. Excellent, friendly service – efficient, and definitely did the job!

I’ll recommend you to friends without reservation; that was money well spent :)

Thanks again

I’d like to thank you for coming at such short notice, I was very pleased with how you tackled the problem, and also I didn’t feel like I was overcharged which I was really dreading as obviously people will do anything to get rid of the problem and I think lots of people could take advantage of that. It didn’t take very long at all and I’m over the moon to say so far (touch wood) it seems to have worked, the first night I think I got a couple of bites but I was expecting that, last night I don’t think I got any and I had one of the best night’s sleep of my life!! Thank you so much!

We have had the services of Genesis Pest Control as a precaution for some time. We recently had a problem with vermin because of building works in Rochdale.

We would like to let you know that we have been very pleased with the technician who turned up as soon as we phoned and in this instance, as we were very worried, did a very thorough job of checking our premises. We have just had a good rating from the environmental health and have recommended the technician to several of our neighbours.
