Rat Proofing In London
Rat proofing your business is essential to deny access to rodents such as rats. Rats need a constant water supply to survive; they will also eat anything available, making it necessary to remove these sources or prevent access to them. The most common areas we proof to protect you from rats include:
- Drains and sewers: Rats are known to access buildings through drains and sewer pipes. Our rat-proofing techniques include drain covers or screens to prevent access.
- External ingress points: Holes on the exterior of your building need to be rat proofed. Holes located around pipework cause the most concern; however, rats can jump high, so all holes need to be filled with wire wool, concrete or steel plating.
- Doors: As apparent as this may seem, rats squeeze through small gaps under doors. Fitting specialised strips to doors help prevent access.
If you’ve noticed any signs of rats in your business, the problem may be more substantial than you realise. Contact our team to arrange an expert survey to remove rats from your premises quickly and legally.
