Beside the river, rats and mice are never far away. We treat homes and riverside premises in Gunthorpe and advise on keeping the water's wildlife outside.
A village on the Trent has the water at its back door, and rats like waterbanks, outbuildings and anywhere food is left. Mice follow once the weather cools. Riverside properties and any premises serving visitors near the bridge and lock need tidy waste storage and checked drains to stay ahead of them. Check the bank edge, shed bases and under decking for burrows, and keep stored goods raised so that any activity is easier to spot.
We begin by establishing where the activity is, because burrows along a bank need a different approach to mice in a kitchen. We treat the pest, give free advice and, if you run a business, can arrange a commercial survey with a written report. Staff are CRB checked. Visitors, takeaway waste and kitchen deliveries all increase risk, so food businesses should keep a regular routine of cleaning, bin checks and door seals.
Rats are common near water and can live along banks. That does not mean they should be near buildings. Securing waste and blocking burrows helps. Clear spilled food, secure bins and report burrows promptly. Rats near water are common, but a clean site gives them less reason to come close to the buildings.
Our commercial division offers free surveys and a free written inspection report. Call 0115 937 5117 and tell us about the premises. Most surveys take a short time, and the free written inspection report records any issues so that you can act on them and show what has been done.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
In a village where people come and go, holiday lets, visitors and returning guests all move luggage between beds. That is how bed bugs get around.
