Rat Trap UK LTD was created by two pest controllers from Bristol, UK: Adam Leonard (Advance Pest Control Bristol Ltd) and Aman Johar (Aman Pest Control). 

Having met on a training course six years ago, the two got talking about their everyday experiences in pest control and became great friends.

Whilst speaking about the issues they had with certain types of products, they devised a plan to begin manufacturing their own range of products that they could bring to market.

Adam explained their product journey:

"Our first product was a 4" stainless steel drain valve and soon we had introduced a 6” and 9” to the range, and we are pleased to say our drain valves are swiftly becoming recognised as one of the best drain valves on the professional market.

"We have recently manufactured a tomb style snap trap for rats which will fit happily under most UK kickboards, making it incredibly versatile.

"We hope to have another three products to market this year and envisage that within the next couple of years Rat Trap UK LTD will be a household name in professional pest control."

He continued, "We're delighted to be exhibiting at PestEx this year and look forward to seeing customers old and new at stand 18.

"We'll be running a competition for all customers that buy any of our products at the show, so why not come and introduce yourself and see if you can walk away with an awesome prize!"
