Between the market square, the castle and the River Trent, Newark has many places for rats to live. We survey, treat and give practical advice on keeping them out.
A historic market town with a castle, a large market square and the Trent running past is a comfortable setting for rats. Old buildings around the centre have cellars, back yards and service lanes, and market days produce waste that must be handled well. By the river, banks and drains give cover and water. Newer housing beyond the centre has the usual garden pattern of sheds, bins and fences.
We survey the building, drains and surroundings, then choose baiting or trapping to suit the premises. Commercial customers in the centre receive a free survey and written inspection report. Homes receive free pest prevention advice with all treatments. We are BPCA members, with fully insured staff, and appointments are arranged to suit you.
Any trade that generates food waste can attract rats if bins and rubbish are not managed well. We offer free surveys for commercial premises and can recommend practical waste handling.
High water can push rats from banks and burrows towards buildings, though it varies. If your property is near the river, check outbuildings and drains after wet spells, and call us if you see signs.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

A market square full of ledges and cornices is a gift to pigeons. Proofing is the way to take back a roof, a doorway or a loading bay in Newark-on-Trent.
Read the advice →A pencil-width hole is enough for a house mouse. In an older Newark-on-Trent property there are usually several more gaps than you would expect, some of them out of sight.
