With so many student lets around the university, bins and rear yards in Lenton can turn into a feast for rats. We deal with the rats and help landlords and tenants prevent a repeat.
Student rentals change hands on a yearly cycle, and that pattern matters for rats. At the end of a tenancy, furniture, food and rubbish are often left outside, and bins that were fine in term time can overflow in the gap before new tenants arrive. Lenton's Victorian terraces also share yards and drains, so a mess at one address affects its neighbours. Rats need very little to settle in.
We can arrange appointments to suit, including around lectures or a landlord's access, and same day visits are available. After the survey we use baiting or trapping and give clear, practical advice: who should tackle bins, what to clear from yards, and which gaps a landlord should close. Responsibility between tenants and landlords can be unclear, so we keep the advice simple.
That depends on the tenancy agreement and the cause, so check with your landlord or letting agent first. We can survey the property and explain what we find, which gives both sides a clear starting point.
We offer appointments to suit, including same day visits, so we can often attend quickly when you find signs. If you have access limits because of a landlord or housemates, tell us when you call and we will work around them.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
You have treated the cat or dog, yet the bites continue. The reason is usually what is waiting in the carpets and floor gaps, not what is on the animal.
