Professional Rat Control

This rat was making the lives of the home owners a misery. Noises in the loft and scratching in the cavity walls day and night. It was successfully trapped today and removed from the property.
This is how the professionals control rat problems.
Some companies will place bait which will inevitably cause rodents to die in inaccessible areas such as cavity walls or under floors causing weeks of smell and fly problems. We will make every endeavour to catch the rodent in order to prevent this happening.
