Rats in Your Home? Don’t Leave It.
If you’re hearing scratching in the walls, seeing droppings, or noticing damage to food or wiring,
there’s a strong chance rats are already active in your home.
Rats don’t go away on their own. They settle, breed quickly, and become much harder to remove the longer they’re left.
Real jobs. Real results. Local Dublin homes.

Signs You May Have Rats
- Scratching noises at night (walls, attic, under floors)
- Droppings in cupboards or along skirting boards

If you’re noticing any of these signs, there’s a strong chance rats are already active in your home.
Looking to get rid of rats for good? Don’t waste your hard-earned money on DIY rodent control methods that rarely solve the problem and can often make things worse.
At House & Home Pest Control, we focus on getting to the root of the issue. Before putting any treatment in place, we identify how rats are getting into your home and assess the scale of the infestation.
Once the immediate problem is brought under control using targeted traps and treatments, we carry out a full inspection of your property. This includes checking for cracks, gaps around pipework, damaged vents, and entry points around cables — sealing everything properly to stop rats getting back in.
The goal is simple — not just to remove rats, but to solve the problem properly so it doesn’t come back.
Based in North Dublin, we cover Portmarnock, Swords, Malahide and surrounding areas.

Rat Control Dublin FAQs
Clear answers about rat-control prices, treatment, entry points and how to prevent rats from returning.
How much does rat control cost in Dublin?
Rat treatment starts from €275, depending on the property, the level of activity and the treatment required.
The service includes an inspection, appropriate treatment and advice on likely rat entry points.
Call James on 083 010 2411 and explain what you have noticed before arranging a visit.
How quickly can you attend a rat problem in Dublin?
Same-day or next-day appointments are often available, depending on your location and current bookings.
Rat activity should be reported as early as possible, particularly when rats are seen indoors, heard in walls or found near food-storage areas.
You will speak directly with James rather than a call centre.
Will you find where the rats are getting into the property?
James will inspect the property for likely rat entry points and signs of movement.
Common access routes include gaps around pipes, vents, doors, drains, extensions, roof spaces and damaged external areas.
Not every concealed entry point can always be confirmed during the first visit, but likely routes will be identified and explained.
How do I know whether I have rats or mice?
Rat droppings are generally larger than mouse droppings, and rats often create heavier scratching, gnawing or movement sounds.
Other signs include disturbed bins, strong smells, greasy marks, damaged food packaging and activity around drains, sheds, attics or wall cavities.
A professional inspection can help confirm whether the problem involves rats or mice.

Can rats enter a house through the drains?
Yes.
Damaged drains, broken pipework and unprotected openings can sometimes allow rats to reach a property.
An inspection may be needed to determine whether the rat activity is connected to drains or another entry route.
How quickly does rat treatment work?
The timeframe depends on the size of the infestation, the property and how the rats are moving through the building.
Some activity may reduce quickly, while an established infestation may require monitoring and more than one visit.
James will explain what to expect after the property has been inspected.
Should I block a rat hole before treatment?
Do not immediately seal an active entry point without knowing whether rats are still inside the property.
Blocking the wrong opening can trap rats within walls, floors, roof spaces or other inaccessible areas.
It is usually better to identify the level of activity and likely movement routes before carrying out proofing work.
Do you provide rat proofing?
Rat treatment includes an inspection and advice on likely entry points.
Where suitable and practical, pest-proofing work may be carried out as part of the service.
Larger repairs involving drains, roofs, structural defects or building work may need to be completed separately.
