Homes on the hillside above Arnold back onto open land, which brings rats close to gardens. We survey the boundary and the house together.
Where suburban gardens meet open land, rats cross the line in both directions. Field edges, hedgerows and rough ground give them a natural home, and the nearest garden with a bird feeder, hen run or open compost can become a regular stop. On a hillside, drainage and banks add more places to burrow. Families often notice the problem when a pet drags something in or a shed door is found gnawed.
Our survey follows the boundary of your plot, because that is often where activity starts. We check the house, loft and outbuildings, and use baiting or trapping to suit your circumstances. Free advice covers proofing and keeping food sources out of reach. We are happy to arrange appointments to suit and can often manage same day visits.
Yes, feed and eggs are attractive, and rats can burrow beside runs. Store feed in sealed metal bins, collect eggs daily and avoid leaving food out overnight to reduce the risk.
Fresh droppings are dark and soft, old ones turn grey and crumbly. Fresh gnawing looks pale, and runs through grass are visibly worn. A technician can read these signs and tell you what is current.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
