From cellars under older buildings to student houses and busy city centre premises, rats find plenty of cover in Nottingham. We find the route in and deal with it.
Nottingham is a dense place for a rat to live. Victorian terraces share walls and drains, student housing changes hands every year, and the city centre has a steady supply of waste behind shops and food outlets. Many older buildings have basements and cellars with old brickwork, service ducts and gaps around pipes. Sandstone caves lie under parts of the city, so what looks like a small problem at street level can have a long run behind it.
We begin with a survey of the building and the ground around it, looking for runs, gnaw marks, droppings and the point where rats are getting in. Treatment is by baiting or trapping, whichever suits the property and its occupants. We are BPCA members and offer a free pest prevention survey with every treatment, so you leave with clear advice on closing gaps and managing waste.
Rats travel along drains, service ducts and shared walls, so a flat can be affected even when the occupant keeps a clean home. We look at the whole building, not just one room, and advise on what the landlord or managing agent needs to close up.
Our commercial division carries out free surveys and provides a free written inspection report, which is useful for food businesses that need a record of pest control activity. Treatment is arranged around your opening hours where we can.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
