Rat Repellent

Repellent is not the answer to permanent rat control

Rat repellent is marketed as a way to drive rats away, but it doesn’t stop rats getting into a building in the first place. Rats infest properties because they provide shelter, warmth, and access to food, and once those conditions exist, repellents offer little more than false reassurance. Strong smells, oils, powders, pet scents, and ultrasonic devices may seem appealing, but they are either impractical at scale, quickly ignored, or completely ineffective within walls, roof voids, and drains. At best, repellents cause brief disruption; at worst, they do nothing at all while the infestation continues unseen.

Effective rat control comes from prevention, not repelling. As long as defects in the building fabric allow rats to enter, they will remain — regardless of smells, sounds, or gadgets. The only permanent solution is to identify how rats are accessing the property and block those routes for good. This is the approach Pestology takes: no rat repellents, no gimmicks, and no temporary fixes — just expert investigation, targeted rat-proofing, and long-term solutions that keep properties rat-free permanently.
