With the Trent on one side and farmland on the others, rats are a fact of life in Stoke Bardolph. We help you keep them out of the house and outbuildings.
A small village beside the Trent has rats on its doorstep. River banks and field margins hold natural populations, and farm-style storage such as grain, feed and straw adds to the appeal. Houses here may be few, but each often comes with sheds, stables, workshops or a long garden. Wet weather and rising water can push rats away from the bank and towards buildings, so activity may follow a spell of heavy rain.
Our technician will survey the property and its outbuildings, noting runs by the water side and signs near feed or fuel stores. Baiting or trapping is chosen with care for livestock, pets and wildlife. We give free advice on storing feed, clearing cover and proofing buildings, and appointments can be set to suit your working day.
It can push rats away from banks and burrows and towards higher ground, including buildings. We cannot predict when, but after heavy rain is a sensible time to check outbuildings and food stores.
Poorly placed bait can be a risk, which is why professional placement matters. We choose products and positions with other animals in mind, and explain any precautions before leaving the site.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

A house by the river and fields has more wildlife on its doorstep than most. A short seasonal checklist keeps the visitors outside where they belong.
