The thought of sharing our home, garden, outbuilding, garage or shed with an unwanted and uninvited animal or insect is not a pleasant thought.
Rats are often attracted to properties and gardens in search of food, and somewhere warm to live. Gardens often have bird feeders, composts, or bins which are an ideal and easy food source for a rat. Nearby deckings or sheds are also a perfect place to live in your garden.
Rats in the property is one of our biggest call out complaints, especially during the autumn and winter months when the weather is cold and wet, and the food supply is at a minimum. A good 70% of our rat jobs inside the property are often drain/sewer related. These can be caused by broken/defective drains which lead under properties, and rats have managed to break out of the sewer line and now have access to under flooring and cavity walls, which can lead to loft spaces.
We offer a full survey on our first visit, we will inspect internal and external areas for entry points, and give advisories how to stop it long term. Short term we can provide trapping or poisoning depending on which suits best for the job and customer, with multiple follow up visits until the problem is solved.
Our pest technicians are highly experienced, and are fully trained to RSPH level 2 in pest management and are members of the Basis prompt scheme, and NPTA registered.
