# Northern Rat Control – Business Description
Northern Rat Control is a specialist pest control company based in Newcastle upon Tyne with over 40 years' experience tackling severe rat infestations across large commercial and agricultural sites. The business serves recycling plants, pig farms, chicken farms, dairy farms, and domestic properties across the North East, North West, Cumbria, Yorkshire and the Scottish borders.
What sets Northern Rat Control apart is their rejection of standard poison-based approaches that often prove ineffective when rats have access to abundant food sources. Instead, they employ a team of trained terriers that deliver immediate, large-scale results—removing thousands of rats annually. This traditional method eliminates the environmental risks associated with poisoned rodents being consumed by birds of prey, whilst removing ongoing poison costs.
The company currently maintains contracts with two recycling plants and thirty-four farms, visiting pig farms every twelve weeks and remaining on-call for chicken farms experiencing population spikes. They provide photographic evidence of results at every visit and happily supply references from site managers and farmers.
Northern Rat Control distinguishes itself through expertise in high-volume infestations that defeat conventional pest control firms. Rather than leaving clients managing recurring problems, they implement comprehensive solutions tailored to each site's specific challenges—particularly understanding that 24/7 food availability on farms makes poison ineffective.
The business also offers wasp nest removal and pigeon pest control services.
