Older terraces, railway land and nearby Colwick give Netherfield rats plenty of ways to travel. We trace the route and put a stop to it.
Netherfield grew with the railway, and a railway edge is often rat territory: rough ground, cuttings, embankments and quiet corners. The older terraces sit close to this land, with later housing beyond, and Colwick is not far off. Rats can travel along such corridors for some distance, then drop into the nearest garden that offers food. The pattern is often the same: bins left open, a shed corner, then a gap into the house.
We survey the property and its boundary, particularly any side that faces rough or open ground. Treatment is by baiting or trapping to suit your home, and we leave you with free advice on proofing. Pricing is fixed, there is no call-out fee, and we can book appointments to suit.
Not by themselves, but the rough ground beside them gives rats cover and a route. Homes close to such land may see more activity, so securing food and waste matters more.
Signs such as fresh droppings, new gnawing and noise should stop, though this takes time. We advise on follow-up checks where the situation needs them, so you are not left guessing.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

Where a building has ledges, gaps and a nearby food source, pigeons will return. Proofing removes the place to perch, which is why it outlasts scaring.
