Houses around Woodthorpe Park are mostly semis with gardens, which suits rats as much as families. We survey, treat and advise on keeping them away.
A suburb of semi-detached houses with gardens and green space nearby offers rats a steady supply of cover. The usual pattern is a garden attraction first, such as a feeder, a bin that does not close or a pile of timber, then entry to a shed or garage, and later the house. Because the house types are similar, so are the weak spots: airbricks, pipe gaps and the junction between an extension and the main wall.
Our survey follows that pattern, working from the boundaries inwards. Treatment is baiting or trapping to suit the household, with the aim of removing the colony, not just the rats you happen to see. A free prevention survey is part of the visit, and we will explain which fixes are worth doing yourself.
Rats are mostly active at night and around dawn and dusk. Seeing one in daylight can mean a larger population or disturbed nest, so it is worth getting the property checked.
Rats come for food, water and shelter, and outside sources such as a neighbour's waste can be enough. Cleanliness helps, but proofing and tackling outdoor attractions matter just as much.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

When the evenings turn cold, the rats that have been living outside look for somewhere warmer. A semi next to a park can look very inviting indeed.
Read the advice →A cockroach in a family semi comes as a shock, and the first reaction is often embarrassment. They are far more often carried in than invited.
