Rodent Proofing
Treat the activity. Address the access.

Warning signs
What to look for
Individual signs do not always confirm the cause. Photograph what you can safely see and arrange an assessment if you are unsure.

Visible gaps around pipes or cables
02
Damaged vents, air bricks or thresholds
03
Repeated activity behind kitchen units
04
Recurring signs after previous treatments
Understanding the problem
Why activity can occur
Treatment addresses current activity; proofing aims to reduce the routes pests may use. Proofing must be planned carefully so active routes are not blocked at the wrong stage.
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.
