Between Leeds and Bradford, Pudsey's old stone terraces and later estates each give rats a different way in. We find the route and block it as well as treating the animals.
Old mill-town terraces tend to have worn stonework, ageing drain runs and gaps where pipes pass through walls, and rats are good at finding all three. Estates built between the wars and after them offer something different: garden sheds, decking, compost heaps and bird feeders that supply food and shelter right beside the house. We look at both the building and the garden, because treating one without the other often means the problem returns.
If you have heard scratching under floorboards or in a wall cavity, tell us where and when, since night-time noise helps us judge how many animals are present and where they are nesting. Treatment may include bait placed where children and pets cannot reach it, trapping where that suits better, and proofing of the entry points. Prices depend on the property and the number of visits, and no call-out charges apply.
It can happen when food is easy to reach, but it is worth taking seriously because it can mean a larger population nearby. Remove anything edible, note where the animal goes and call us. A survey will show whether burrows, drains or a neighbouring site are the source.
Normally not. Bait is placed in tamper-resistant stations or in spots rats use that other animals and children cannot get at. The technician will explain where it goes and what to avoid disturbing, and will tell you if anything about your particular home needs extra care.
