Older houses near the Minster and orchards and farmland beyond give rats both shelter and food. We find where they are getting in.
A small minster town known for the Bramley apple sits among farmland and fruit trees, which means rats are rarely far from the edge of the built-up area. Fallen fruit, stored produce and animal feed can attract them, and older houses may have stone or brick with gaps, thick walls and traditional outbuildings. Rats that start in a field margin or orchard may find the nearest garden and, in time, the house.
We survey inside and out, giving attention to outbuildings, log stores, and any fruit or feed storage. Treatment is by baiting or trapping, selected to suit the property. We give free advice on clearing windfalls, sealing gaps and storing feed. Charges are fixed, we do not charge a call-out fee, and appointments are made to suit.
They can. Windfalls provide food and the long grass under trees gives cover. Picking up fallen fruit regularly and keeping the area tidy reduces the appeal.
They can use gaps in mortar, around pipes and under floors, and move through voids. It is why a thorough survey of an older building takes in the structure as well as the visible rooms.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
