Close to Sneinton, Thorneywood has older terraces beside later housing. We find where the rats are living and explain what to do to keep them out.
Where Victorian terraces meet later housing, rats often travel along the line between the two: old drains, rear boundaries and alleys that run behind both types of home. Thorneywood sits close to Sneinton, so activity in one area can reach the other. The first sign is often something small, such as a chewed bag in the shed or a hole by the back step, well before anyone hears noises indoors.
We survey the garden, drains and building, then choose between baiting and trapping based on what we find and who uses the space. Free advice on proofing and rubbish is included. If the same route is serving neighbouring houses we will say so plainly, since treating only one address may not settle things for long.
Not always. Rat burrows are usually about the size of a tennis ball, often beside walls, sheds or compost, with smooth worn edges and loose soil nearby. Other animals dig too, so a technician can confirm it.
Shop-bought products exist, but placing bait badly can put pets, wildlife and children at risk, and it may not reach the source. A professional survey finds the route in and the nest, which is what makes a treatment effective.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.
