Rats & Mice

We have efficient and professional pest control experts ready to assist with the treatment of any infestations of rats or mice. Rats and mice are classed as a public health risk as they carry life threatening diseases and can also cause structural damage in areas they infest.  When they gain access to food businesses they will contaminate food stocks.  

Signs to look for:

• Smear marks
• Smell from urine
• Holes/runs
• Damage to food
• Damaged/chewed cables
• Scratching noises from cavity walls, lofts and under floorboards

Prevention

There are many precautions you can take to reduce the chances of getting a rat or mouse infestation:

• Avoid accumulations of rubbish which could attract, and act as harbourage for, rats and mice.
• Ensure where pipe work goes through walls that it is well sealed around the edges - any gaps could allow rats and mice to gain access to the property. 
• When feeding the birds ensure all food intended for the birds is either on a bird table, bird feeders or off the ground so rats and mice can't get access to it. 
• Food businesses should ensure that waste food gets disposed of in sealed containers. 
• Ensure that doors fit snugly within their frames, avoiding any gaps at the bottom. 
• Compost heaps are highly attractive to rats and mice as they are a source of both food and harbourage.
