Castleford sits where two rivers meet, with terraces and large estates around a former coal and glass area. Rats get plenty of cover from the water and the gardens.
Large estates mean many similar houses, gardens and bin areas, and rats take advantage of the consistency. A food source in one garden can support activity along several fences. Near the Aire and Calder, riverbanks and drains add shelter, so the technician checks boundaries early. Terraces in the older parts have shared walls and yards, which means a burrow in one place can lead to signs in several households.
A former industrial area also has warehouses, yards and stores where storage patterns affect rats. If your business is in such a building, tell us how stock and waste move around. Fully insured and trained technicians complete the work, and we give a free quote based on the property, the extent of the problem and the number of visits required.
When the cause is shared, such as a drain or a common food source, co-ordinated action works better than separate efforts. It is not always needed. The survey shows whether the problem is limited to your plot or likely to involve neighbours.
Wear disposable gloves, avoid raising dust, dampen the area with disinfectant and wipe up, then bag the waste and wash your hands. If there is a large amount, ask the technician for advice first. They can also explain what to avoid touching.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
