Rat Infestations
Pest Impact on Commercial Properties
Rat infestations can be highly damaging to businesses. In the food industry, restaurants, cafes, and storage facilities are at risk as rats are attracted to food sources and can contaminate supplies. Warehouses, factories, and retail stores may also suffer financial losses due to damaged goods and a tarnished reputation. Hotels and hospitality establishments can face negative reviews if rats are spotted by guests, impacting customer loyalty.
Pest Impact on Domestic Properties
Rats can be a nightmare for homeowners. They can cause structural damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wooden components. Rats also carry diseases and parasites that can be transmitted to humans and pets. Gardens and lawns can suffer as rats dig burrows and feed on plants. Inside homes, the presence of rats can trigger fear and anxiety among residents.
Rats in Lofts, Drains and Gardens
Rats commonly gain access to properties through drains, roof spaces and garden areas, using damaged pipework, gaps in structures and overgrown outdoor spaces as entry points. Once inside lofts or wall cavities, rats can cause structural damage, contaminate insulation and spread disease. Our rat control service identifies how rats are accessing your property and applies targeted treatments alongside prevention advice to reduce the risk of future infestations.
