Radford's tightly packed terraces and older working buildings give rats shared walls, shared drains and plenty of hiding places. We trace the activity and treat it properly.
Few areas show how rats move between properties as clearly as Radford. The dense Victorian terraces west of the centre sit shoulder to shoulder, with party walls, shared yards and old drains running behind them. Add the buildings left from the lace and textile years, some with large empty floor spaces, and rats have routes and shelter that cross many boundaries. One household's trouble is often a street's trouble.
Our technician will check the yard, the drains, the airbricks and the roof void as well as the room where you first heard the noise. Baiting or trapping is chosen to suit the premises, and we explain what is being done and why. Because neighbouring houses matter, we will tell you honestly when it is worth talking to the people next door. Free advice comes with every treatment.
In terraced streets rats follow drains, gaps in party walls and shared yards, so one infestation often reaches several houses. Treating only one property can leave the source untouched, which is why we look at the wider layout and advise on neighbours.
Rats tend to move indoors as the weather turns colder, so noises in walls and lofts are often first noticed in autumn. Signs can appear at any time of year though, and it is better to act early than wait.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
