Home rat protection
Catch them before the damage spreads.
1
Faint scurrying or gnawing after dark, when rats are most active and the house is quiet.
2
Dark, rice-grain droppings near skirting, in cupboards, or where pipes enter walls.
3
Chewed skirting, wires or holes appearing at the base of walls.
4
Greasy smudges along walls and skirting where rats travel the same route repeatedly.
5
A persistent musky or ammonia odour points to urine and nesting inside the void.
Seal entry gaps, cut off food and water, and run an ultrasonic deterrent to drive them out.
