Firstly, a thorough survey must be carried out. In addition to baiting there may well be other options to help eradicate your rodent problem.
We will likely make recommendations with regard to internal/external proofing and internal/external house keeping and give a better understanding as to why you have a rodent problem.
If there has been a history of ongoing rodent problems, we may ask you contact you water provider in order they carry out a sewer/drain survey. This is normally carried out as a free service. Damaged sewer/drainage pipes are a common entry point for brown rats, and until this fault can be identified and repaired, in this instance, rodent problems are likely to intermittently continue.
Externally, brown rat burrows are quite recognisable. Burrow entry points are usually tennis ball sized and can be found on sloping grounds of banks and rivers or beneath some form of cover such as drains, tree roots or pavements. The brown rat can also be found inside in loft spaces and cavity walls, normally indicated by droppings and tunnels through insulation. They require free access to water and feed on a wide range of food sources. Entry into a building can be via an opened toilet, sewage or drainage pipes and even open doorways.
