Rats are one of the most destructive and dangerous pests to invade Auckland properties. Beyond the obvious disgust factor, they pose serious health risks, cause significant property damage, and reproduce at alarming rates.
At OneCall Pest Control, we provide comprehensive rat elimination services using advanced techniques that target these intelligent pests effectively while protecting your family, pets, and property.
Dark, capsule-shaped droppings (12-20mm) found along walls, in cupboards, or near food.

Loud scratching or scampering noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors, particularly at night.
Dark, greasy marks along walls and baseboards from dirt and oil in their fur.
We identify rat species, nesting locations, entry points, and the full extent of the infestation.
Using a combination of trapping and baiting strategies suited to the specific rat species and situation.
Sealing all entry points with professional-grade materials that rats cannot gnaw through.

Great service from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable and thorough. Would definitely recommend to others.
We had a serious cockroach problem and OneCall sorted it out quickly. Haven't seen a single pest since their treatment.
Auckland is home to two main rat species: the Norway rat (larger, typically nesting at ground level) and the Roof rat (smaller, preferring higher elevations like attics). Both species are extremely adaptable and thrive in urban and suburban environments.
Rats are highly intelligent with excellent memory, making them challenging to control once established. A female rat can produce up to 60 offspring annually, which means a small problem can quickly become a major infestation.
