Key Highlights:
- The Resident Evil 4 Remake More Pest Control request appears in Chapter 9 and asks Leon to kill three rats around the Grand Hall and Library.
- The Blue Request Note sits beside the Dining Hall doorway inside the Grand Hall lobby.
- Finishing the task awards 3 Spinels once Leon checks in with the Merchant.
The More Pest Control request in Resident Evil 4 Remake appears shortly after Leon enters the Grand Hall deep in Ramon Salazar’s stronghold. It tasks players with removing three rats hiding across the Dining Hall, Library and the corridor to the Armoury. It is a quick Castle clean-up task that ties directly into your Chapter 9 routing.
Quick Links
Starting the Resident Evil 4 Remake More Pest Control Quest
The first step is interacting with the Blue Request Note situated just left of the doorway leading into the Dining Hall from the Grand Hall lobby.
Reading this note marks all three rats’ locations on Leon’s map and initiates the extermination hunt.
With the request active, move through the Grand Hall’s side wings and adjoining routes. Each rat can be heard squeaking before coming into view, so keep an ear out while sweeping the surrounding halls. Use the map above to find out the exact location of where this is in the Grand Hall.
Rat #1 – Grand Hall to Armoury Corridor
The first rodent skitters along the short corridor that links the Grand Hall to the Octagonal Armoury. You will usually spot it darting across the red carpet in the centre of the passage. A quick handgun shot is enough, though closing the gap with a knife is also reliable. Make sure to check both ends of the corridor since the rat often loops between them.
Rat #2 – Dining Hall Interior
Rat two appears inside the Dining Hall, roaming between table legs, banquet chairs and the central walkway. This is the same room containing the Serpent Statue Head puzzle, so you will likely pass through as part of the main path. Aim low as you cross the room and take the shot the moment the rat emerges from cover.
Rat #3 – Hidden Library Debris
Finding the last elusive rat takes a touch of patience and perfect timing. In Chapter 9 towards the end, Ashley reaches a debris-filled passage inside the Library where only she can fit. Beyond the rubble lurks rat #3, but Ashley lacks the means to kill it.
Later when controlling Leon again in Chapter 10, backtrack to this exact spot, crouch through the gap, then blast the rodent once the coast is clear.
Completing the More Pest Control Quest
After all three rats have been eliminated, return to the Merchant in the Grand Hall foyer. Hand in the request to receive 3 Spinels.
This concludes the RE4 Remake More Pest Control Merchant Request. The decadent Grand Hall library collection is safe and you can move on to the next task.
