Rodent Control Wicklow: Rat & Mice Removal
By Brendan Higgins, Wicklow Pest Control
Wicklow Pest Control provides fast, local rat and mice removal for homes and businesses across County Wicklow. A PMU-licensed technician inspects the property, treats the infestation, proofs the entry points so rodents cannot get back in, and follows up to confirm the problem is gone. With over 36 years' experience, we offer a discreet, prompt call-out. Call (0404) 62026.
What does rodent control involve?
Effective rodent control is more than laying bait. Our technicians follow a proven process that removes the current infestation and stops the next one:
- Inspection - we identify the species (rat or mouse), the extent of the infestation and how the rodents are getting in.
- Treatment - a targeted, professional treatment to eradicate the infestation safely, using the right method for your property.
- Proofing - we seal the entry points, from gaps under doors to defective drains, so rodents cannot return.
- Follow-up - a return visit to confirm the treatment has worked and the property is clear.

How quickly can you deal with rats or mice?
We offer a prompt local call-out across County Wicklow, often within the same week and sooner for urgent cases. Rodents breed quickly, so the earlier you call, the easier and cheaper the problem is to clear. -
Do you treat both rats and mice?
Yes. Our technicians identify the species first, because rats and mice behave differently and need different treatment and proofing. We handle both, for homes and businesses, and proof the property to stop them returning. -
