Old terraces sit beside former industrial premises in Old Basford, and empty or lightly used buildings are exactly what rats look for. We survey, treat and advise on proofing.
Part of the character of this north-west district is its mix of homes and former industrial buildings. Rats do well where a building is only partly used: there is shelter in stored materials, undisturbed corners, and often a bin or a lorry yard close by. From there they can reach the next terraced street with little effort. Neighbouring homes may hear activity that begins in a unit nobody visits for days.
A survey for a business premises covers the building, the yard, drains and storage, and our commercial division provides it free with a written inspection report. For homes we check cellars, yards, airbricks and lofts. Treatment is by baiting or trapping to suit the setting, and we explain how stored materials and waste should be kept to discourage a return.
Yes, if you suspect it is the source. We can survey your own property and explain what we find, and that evidence helps you raise it with the owner or the council.
They use gaps at the base of walls, around pipes, under doors and through damaged airbricks. A gap about the size of a coin can be enough for a young rat. Proofing those places is part of the follow-up advice.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

If ants have taken over a corner of the worktop, start by working out where they come from. In Old Basford's older buildings, the nest may be under the yard.
Read the advice →Pigeons keep returning to the same ledge because it suits them. Proofing changes the ledge instead of chasing the bird, which is why it lasts where scaring does not.
