Having problems with rats?
Rats are close by If there is a food source nearby, then the Environmental Risk Assessment will look at ways to reduce or eliminate the food source. This could mean fixing the broken drain, removing the bird feeder, or cleaning up the garden.
- Access.
- The level of infestation.
- How widespread is the infestation?
- Wildlife (Prey Animals/birds).
Once the technician has established the possible causes, the location of the entry points and is the infestation inside, outside or both then we can make the appropriate recommendations on whether to use rodent traps or professional rodenticides.
Additional Information
There are three main application methods used to control rats and mice with rodenticide baits. These are:
- Loose baiting: loose bait made inaccessible to non-target species either by using it in secure premises or, elsewhere, by placing it under tiles, in pipes or using naturally occurring materials etc.
- Use of bait stations: bait applied in purpose-built bait stations is the most commonly used method by professional pest controllers but is not one that is compulsory in all circumstances.
- Hole or burrow baiting: loose bait applied directly into holes or burrows.
Remedy:
We can also be pro-active with rodent electronic monitoring to help you protect valuable assets and comply with legislation bringing in a new era in rodent control:
Cube: This is the heart of the system that houses,PIR sensor, night vision camera and sends alerts to your phone.and if set up pictures with date and time.You get a heartbeat sent to you telling you the battery strength and signal.
Tags: Up to 10 tags connect to the traps and sends a signal to the cube that it has gone off.
Alerts: As soon as the Tag is triggered by the trap going off, it sends a message to the app on your phone within 120 seconds to say that a trap has been set off.
The benefits of this is that it checks the traps every minute and alerts straight away making us more efficient.
Once we are sure environmental factors have been check and no wildlife will be harmed we will place down baits/traps at all the relevant locations throughout the property as to manage the infestation safety.

Follow-up visits
This visit may take place depending on levels of activity, sightings, whether traps or bait have been used. In most instances, after 7-14 days you should notice a significant decline in activity and sightings. Your Pest Technician will decide on whether he needs to continue with more follow-up visits until the problem has been sorted. We will try to determine potential entry points and do these pose any future risk of access or infestation. If entry points need to be blocked there may be a charge for the materials used(i.e Drain blockers).
