A nice find this week for a lady suffering with noises in the attic.
The first job is to confirm what we are dealing with, in this case the rat droppings made it easy to work out! Traps in place and next is the MOST IMPORTANT part of any eradication programme - find the entry point!
Time and time again I meet customers who have been suffering for years, with several pest control companies coming out, putting poison down and never actually solving the problem.
A search around the exterior walls revealed two vents that were completely open, giving rats an open pathway to the warmth and comfort of the attic. They'd even set up a little snack bar, eating the snails and leaving their shells behind!
Bespoke stainless steel mesh covers were made and fitted securely, which will stop any further ingress - and the traps will be checked in a week's time to pick off any remaining rat activity in the attic.
Don't just put a plaster on the problem, get it sorted first time with MDC Environmental
