Emergency Rat in a Toilet Callout in Huyton

Rat or Wasp Emergency? Call 07928312281 Now.

If you think pest control is all traps and inspections, think again. After years working in pest control across the North West, I quickly learnt that no two callouts are ever the same.

One emergency pest control callout in Huyton while working for Knowsley Council is still one of the funniest jobs I’ve ever attended and trust me, I’ve seen a lot.

From rats in lofts to mice in kitchens, most situations are fairly predictable. But finding a rat sitting inside a toilet with a massive poo balanced on its head? That was definitely a first.

Emergency Pest Control Callout in Huyton

It was a wet afternoon in Huyton when I received an urgent callout about a rat inside a property. The homeowner sounded genuinely distressed over the phone and wanted someone there immediately.

When I arrived at the house, a red-haired lady answered the door looking completely horrified.

Before I could even introduce myself properly, she pointed upstairs and shouted:

“You need to get it… it’s in the toilet!”

At that point, I expected the usual — maybe a rat trapped behind the bathroom pipes or scratching noises behind the walls.

I was very wrong.

Discovering a Rat Inside the Toilet

I headed upstairs with my equipment while mentally preparing for whatever I was about to find.

The bathroom door slowly opened.

I approached the toilet cautiously and lifted the seat.

And there it was.

A full-grown rat sitting inside the toilet bowl… completely still… with a huge poo balanced directly on top of its head.

For a few seconds I honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or be concerned.

The rat looked just as shocked as I did.

After years working in professional pest control across Liverpool, St Helens, Rainhill, Warrington, and surrounding areas, this was definitely one of the strangest emergency pest callouts I’ve ever attended.

Can Rats Really Come Up Through Toilets?

Surprisingly, yes — rats can occasionally enter homes through sewer systems and emerge through toilets.

Rats are excellent swimmers and can survive in drainage systems far better than most people realise. Damaged drains, broken sewer pipes, and open access points can sometimes allow rodents to travel through plumbing systems.

While it’s not extremely common, it does happen across the UK every year.

Signs you may have a rodent problem include:

Scratching noises in walls or loft spaces
Rat droppings around kitchens or cupboards
Strong unpleasant smells
Chewed wires or wood
Pets acting strangely around certain areas
Movement heard near drains or pipework

If you suspect rats in your property, acting quickly is important before the infestation grows.

Do not attempt to handle it yourself. Close the bathroom door if possible and contact a professional pest control company immediately.

Are rats dangerous to humans?

Rats can carry diseases and bacteria and may contaminate surfaces, food areas, and living spaces. Professional removal is always recommended.

How do pest controllers remove rats safely?

Professional pest controllers use specialist equipment, traps, proofing methods, and hygiene procedures to safely remove rodents and prevent future infestations.

How can I stop rats entering my property?

Maintaining drains, sealing gaps, storing food correctly, and arranging regular pest inspections can all help reduce the risk of rats entering your home.
