The importance of drain inspections in rat control.
On an initial inspection, drains may appear to be fine, but a closer look can reveal defects, broken pipes and potential access points allowing rats into properties.
Drainage defects are a common route for rats to enter buildings, making proper inspection and proofing essential for long term prevention.
🔍 A CCTV drain survey will be carried out to assess the condition of the pipework, with any identified defects professionally proofed as soon as possible to help prevent further rodent access.
At Primitive Control, we don’t just put bait down and leave. We investigate the root cause of the infestation, identify how rats are getting into your property, and carry out the necessary proofing to help prevent them from returning.
