🐀 How rats can get into a property
This photo shows just how important it is to investigate beyond the obvious signs of rat activity.
In this case, a concealed drainage area beneath the paving had provided a route for rats to burrow from the drain beneath the paving and towards the property wall, allowing access into the wall cavities.
This is why simply putting down bait isn't always enough.
At Wight Pest Control, we look for the root cause of rodent problems including:
🔎 Drainage issues
🕳️ Burrowing and hidden voids
🏠 Entry points into buildings
🐀 Rodent activity and harbourage
Find the route. Find the cause. Fix the problem.
