Post-war housing around Redhill offers rats plenty of garden cover. We survey, treat and show you how to close the gaps.
Houses built in the post-war years usually come with front and back gardens, garages and sheds, and rats take advantage of whatever is left outside. Around the busy roundabout area, passing trade and nearby bins can add to the picture, while the quieter residential roads are more affected by compost, bird feed and garden clutter. Weak points in the structure are often small: a gap round a gas pipe or a missing vent cover.
We survey the garden first, then the house and loft, and treat by baiting or trapping to suit the property. The advice that follows is practical: what to move, what to seal and what to store differently. Fully insured and CRB checked staff attend, our pricing is fixed, and you are not charged to call us out.
A rat can squeeze through a hole roughly the size of a two-pound coin, perhaps smaller if young. It is why even small gaps around pipes and vents matter when proofing a house.
We would advise against it. Loose bait can be eaten by pets or wildlife, and it may not deal with the nest. A professional survey ensures treatment is placed safely and where activity actually is.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
