Busy shopping parades mean food waste, and food waste means rats. We help Sherwood homes and traders spot the signs early and deal with them.
A busy local parade is good for the neighbourhood and, if waste is not carefully handled, good for rats too. Bins, delivery packaging and food scraps behind shops can feed a population that then spreads along yards and gardens into the villas and terraces nearby. Sherwood residents sometimes find the activity starts at the bottom of the garden, not in the house at all.
We look at both sides: the commercial premises, with a free survey and written inspection report from our commercial division, and the neighbouring homes. That joined-up view helps find where the rats are living rather than only where they are seen. Treatment is by baiting or trapping, and our technicians are fully insured and CRB checked.
Food businesses are expected to keep pests under control and often need records to show it. Our commercial division offers a free survey and written inspection report, which you can keep with your other food safety paperwork.
Rat droppings are larger, roughly the size of an olive stone, while mouse droppings are small like grains of rice. Rats also gnaw bigger holes and leave greasy rub marks along runs. A survey will confirm which you have.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
