Understanding the problem
Why activity can occur
Rats may use drains, basements, gardens, service routes and defects in the building fabric. Correct identification and an understanding of likely access are important before treatment begins.
Responsible treatment
Treatment plans depend on the pest, property and extent of activity. Products are used in accordance with their authorised label directions and customers receive relevant safety instructions.

Frequently asked
Clear answers before you book
Can rats enter through drains?+
Drainage can be one route, but it is not the only possibility. Findings may justify a separate specialist drainage investigation.
Should entry points be sealed immediately?+
Not always. The technician should assess whether sealing could trap animals inside or redirect activity.
Will I receive a report?+
Digital findings and recommendations can be provided for landlords, agents and commercial clients.
