Wetherby's older town-centre buildings, riverside and later housing all offer rats a different way in. We look at each setting before choosing a treatment.
A racecourse town with a river running through it has a mixture of open ground, waterside banks and tightly built older property. Rats may use any of them. In older town-centre buildings the problem is often hidden voids, loose mortar and drains that have been patched over the years, while along the Wharfe it is more likely to be burrows in banks and under outbuildings. Telling these apart is the first job at survey.
Later housing on the edge of town usually has simpler construction, but gardens and shared service routes can still hold nests. Where the property is a business, such as a shop, pub or office with a yard, we pay close attention to waste storage and deliveries. A free quote follows the survey, and the price depends on the property, how widespread the signs are and the number of visits.
Rats are usually heard as scratching, scampering or thumping, often at night, while mice sound lighter. Squirrels are more active by day. A survey can confirm which animal it is from droppings, gnaw marks and entry points, which matters because the treatment differs.
Usually little, since bait stations and traps are placed in out-of-the-way spots and visits are arranged to suit you. Tell us your opening times and any food-handling rules, and we will plan around them. Records of what was done can be provided on request.
