Rats and Mice
Usually, the first people know about having a problem with rats of mice is finding some damaged goods, droppings or the 'patter of tiny feet' – all of which are unwelcome!
Identification
Rat droppings are, obviously, larger than mouse droppings. Mice are roughly 7-9cm long (head and body) and would look quite harmless (if they weren’t on your premises), whilst rats are much bigger, about 20-27cm long (head and body) and don’t look quite so harmless! We try to respond to a call outs as fast as we possibly can, and often it is the same day.

Proofing
Where rodents are gaining access to a property, we will identify possible areas through which they have entered and 'rodent-proof' these areas using methods such as fitting bristle strip to the base of doors, pointing up gaps in masonry and fitting mesh over air vents
