With open countryside close to its terraces and post-war estates, South Kirkby sees rats move between gardens and fields. We find the route they take into your property.
Open land adjoining housing gives rats room to burrow, and gardens on the fringe can seem like an extension of that habitat. Sheds, greenhouses, log stores and compost heaps are all attractive, so these are the first things we check on edge-of-town properties. We then look at the house itself, from the base of the walls to the roof edge, to see whether the animals have found a way inside.
For terraces and estates further in, the story is often drains and food waste. A bag of rubbish left outside overnight, or bird seed scattered under a feeder, can sustain a surprising number of rats. Fully insured and trained technicians carry out each job. The cost depends on the property, the extent of the problem and the visits needed, and the quote after the survey is free.
Keep compost bins closed, avoid putting cooked food or meat in them, harvest crops promptly and store seed and feed in hard containers. If you see burrows or damage, call us. Treatment near food crops needs careful placement of bait.
Yes, a few droppings can mean activity you have not seen yet, and early action usually keeps treatment simpler. A survey tells you what the signs mean, whether the animals are rats or mice, and what a sensible next step would be.
