Radford's tightly packed terraces mean pests can pass from house to house unnoticed. We treat the problem in your home and show you what to block up.
Streets built for the lace and textile workers of Radford are close-set and long, with shared walls and linked loft spaces. That layout suits mice, which need only a small gap, and it means noises in the ceiling may come from a void that runs along several houses rather than just yours. A torch and a quick look behind the cooker, under the sink and along the skirting often shows droppings or gnawing, which helps us a lot.
If you hear scratching at night or find droppings behind the cooker, call us before the problem spreads. The technician identifies the pest, treats it, and talks you through gaps around pipes and airbricks. You leave knowing what to fix. Fleas are common in terraces that change hands, so tell us if you have recently moved in or had a pet stay. It changes what we treat and where.
Often because the entry point is shared or has not been sealed. Mice fit through very small gaps, and neighbouring properties can act as a reservoir. Proofing your own side and monitoring afterwards usually helps, though results depend on the building.
We arrange appointments to suit you, including same day visits where we can. Call 0115 937 5117 and tell us what you have seen, and we will agree a fixed price before we arrive. Please bear in mind that availability varies by day, so a call early in the morning gives the good chance of a quick appointment.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
As the nights draw in, rats look for warmth and food. In Radford's dense terraced streets, a single unnoticed gap can end up serving a whole row of houses.
