Brown rats burrowing under your shed. Mice in the loft insulation. The same problem at the same time of year. We don't just put down poison — we find how they got in and stop it happening again.
Rats and mice cause more damage to UK homes than fire and flood combined — chewed electrical cable, contaminated insulation, gnawed pipes and serious disease risk including Weil's, Salmonella and Hantavirus. By the time you've heard them, the colony is usually bigger than you think.
Our approach is the same whether it's a single mouse in a Kendal cottage or a major commercial rat problem at a food site: find the entry points first, then treat. Poison alone never solves anything for long if the access is still open.
Scratching or thumping at night (rats are louder than you'd think). Droppings — rat droppings are 12–18 mm, mouse droppings 3–6 mm. Greasy smear marks where they squeeze through gaps. Chewed cardboard, food packaging or pet biscuits. A musky urine smell in confined spaces.
If you've spotted any of those, call us. The longer you wait the worse it gets — a single pair of mice can produce 30+ young a year, and rats reach breeding age in 12 weeks.
