Houses on the edge of open land are well placed for rats coming in from fields and verges. We survey, treat and show you where to proof.
Nuthall is mostly post-war housing, but its edges give way to open land, and that boundary is where rats often cross. Hedgerows and field margins provide shelter and food, and the nearest back gardens offer easy extras: bins, compost and pet food. Homes on the outer streets may see activity first in late summer after harvest, when food outdoors becomes scarcer and rats start looking at gardens.
Our technician will walk the property boundaries as well as the house itself, looking for runs through fence lines and burrows beside outbuildings. We choose baiting or trapping to suit your situation and give free advice on proofing. Pricing is fixed, there is no call-out charge, and appointments can be arranged to suit you.
It can. When crops are cut, rats lose cover and food in the fields and may move towards gardens and outbuildings. We cannot predict exact timing, but late summer and autumn are common periods for new activity.
Roads themselves do not, but verges and embankments offer cover along which rats can travel. Homes next to them may notice activity if there is food or shelter nearby, which is why we survey the edges as well.
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 and the bites carry on. That is because most of a flea problem is not on the animal at all, it is in the carpets and bedding.
