Built across hills and river valleys, Sheffield has Victorian terraces, large student areas and city-centre apartments. Rats exploit each in a different way.
The steel-making city is spread over steep hills and river valleys, so many streets have houses at different levels, with long back gardens, retaining walls and drains passing under several plots. Rats use these lines to travel without crossing open ground. In Victorian terraces, we check cellar vents, airbricks and drain connections, while outside we look at garden boundaries, sheds and banks.
Student housing areas have a high turnover of tenants and busy bin areas, so waste can build up between collections or at the end of a tenancy. City-centre apartments depend on building management, service ducts and shared bin stores. Same-day appointments are available. Sheffield City Council is the local authority, and the price of treatment depends on the property, the extent of the problem and the number of visits.
It depends on the source. The local authority may deal with public land or certain public health issues, while private property is usually the owner's responsibility. Check with Sheffield City Council about what applies. We can survey and treat private homes and businesses.
Tenancy terms vary, so check your agreement and tell the landlord or agent in writing. Meanwhile, keep food sealed and bins closed. We can survey the property and explain what we found, which can help when agreeing who arranges the work.
