Request a pest control service
We recommend you tell your neighbours the problems you’ve found and the action you are taking. It may be that they also need to act so that problems can be solved quickly. If the problem is outside, there is nothing you need to do before we arrive, provided we can open gates to get to where treatment is needed. We will check your garden and find the best places to place baits or traps. You might want to tell neighbours you have arranged for a pest control officer to visit. If the problem is inside, we’ll need to find when the rodents are active. We may want to move washing machines or fridges to place baits. It would help if you could pick up items from the floor to make space.
Usually, we’ll place baits where the rodents can access them, but away from pets and children. We’ll need to check these after 7-10 days and top them up if needed. Sometimes we’ll use traps, which may need to be reset. We’ll explain where baits have been put. Our treatments will kill rats and mice, but you may need to do other things to find how they got into your home, or what attracted them to your garden. Waste may need to be cleared from gardens and plants cut back. Repairs may be needed to drains, or holes filled in walls. Usually, the pest control offer will explain what is needed.
