Rat in Roof Space

Rat in Extension Roof

Rat in Extension Roof

A rat has been heard in an extension roof space as a customer was working at his computer. It could be heard scrabbling up the internal Cavity of the wall and in to the roof. Once in the roof it could be heard hopping over the joists as it looked around.

On the initial inspection droppings and a hole leading in to the cavity were found. Bags of rodenticide were left. On the second visit the bait had been partly consumed and the bag pulled in to the insulation of the cavity. Smear marks of the red bait can be seen over the joists as the rat has tried to take as much bait as possible.

The outside of the property was carefully checked and no holes were found. Where there is no holes and rats are in the extension it often points to a problem in the drains letting the rats in.

A drain inspection is recommended to fix any flaws in the drain.

Rat Wirral

Rats are always near by and will use any opportunity to exploit our houses. In this particular case on the Wirral rats have been in the drain and have dug a hole underneath the drain cover and under the flags.

The lower side of the drain cover and hole can be seen on the first photo. The second photo shows how the rats have dug under the flags and over to the edge of the house. Once against the house the rats had dug under an old door lintel and in to the house.

The customer had rats in her cavity walls on a few occasions until she called us to find and remove the problem.

The treatment process is relatively simple now the breach has been found. The flag was raised on house bricks (as seen on the second photo) to provide a baiting point for the rats. After 2 weeks a follow will be carried out. The bait will be eaten and the rats killed.

This is when we will dig along the wall to find the hole the rats are tunnelling too. The hole will be permanently blocked and the problem will be fixed for good.

If you have a problem with rats in Wirral, Liverpool or Warrington please phone us to to help you. We take pride in our work and want to help you solve your problems permanently.

A 2 visit rat treatment costs £85.

Rats Pest Control Liverpool

by Leave a Comment

In Liverpool rats are one of the most common pests that we are plagued with. There frequency shows how high the population numbers are and how close they are to us at most times. Particularly in Liverpool city centre and in some of the higher population areas.

Any food source left outside can be quickly found by rats. In some areas birds can be fed outside for years without a problem. In others throwing bread out could be the start of an infestation in days.

An obvious way to avoid this kind of infestation is to not feed the birds, don’t keep livestock animals outside and keep all waste well sealed in wheelie bins.

But what if you get them anyway???

Another common place for rats to come from is from the drains. There is plenty of food down the drains which is washed off our plates and in to the drain systems. Rats are quite happy eating this in the sewers.

They are happy at least until its time to breed. When they want to raise a family these drain rats will approach the surface as drier, warmer places can be found. All it takes is an uncapped drain or redundant connection and they can be in to a buildings foundations.

The place we deal with them most is in extensions. A drain will be moved for the new building and the old drain capped with sandbags. This leaves an incredibly easy way in for rats. A few chews on a sandbag at the bottom and it will empty the sand. Then the rat is up the cavity or ducting and in to the extension roof space.

This picture shows the inside of an extension roof space. Rats are coming through an uncapped drain, climbing the ducting and living in the roof. This is the 3rd time its happened in this particular case. The drain needs fixing to shut the door to the rats.

The Signs Will Be There

by Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool rat hole

Regardless of the mild Winter we’re well in to rodent season. Rats and mice have already found there way in to our homes and have well established routes they take to find their food.

The photo above shows a rat hole chewed in to someones hallway. The rat has gained access to the wall cavity and has chewed through in to the house itself. Once inside it was stealing bread of the side and dragging it in to the wall.

Other signs apart from holes and missing food will be in the house. Droppings will soon appear with mice. Slightly later with rats as they have more distinct toilet areas.

Then possibly the worst of the signs is actually seeing the rodent itself. Walking to the fridge in the evening to encounter a rat on the kitchen floor is pretty startling in your own home.

Any or all of the signs mentioned above should be enough for you to act on the situation. Control measures can be bought from local hardware stores or online, or if you wish you could phone us and we can act upon it for you.

Noises from the Roof

by Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool roof

A customer had heard noises from her roof in the night. In the morning she went in to the roof space to investigate herself.

There was nothing obvious but she was concerned about a vent outlet going through the tiles, so she phoned pest control to get an inspection.

When we got there we pulled back all the insulation and found mouse droppings underneath. We baited around the areas that there was mouse activity.

As the customer was concerned about the vent we went on the roof to check to see if there was a possible ingress point through this vent (squirrels are a big problem in her area). We checked the full roof and found no tiles to be loose and no gaps that squirrels could get through.

A follow will be carried out in 2 weeks to see what takes we get from the mice.

Rat Pulled Out of Roof

by Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool

 

Rats are fairly large animals to have roaming around your house in the night time. This rat photoed above was nesting in the roof space of a house and then coming out in the nighttime down the external wall and through a hole around a waste pipe to feed in a domestic kitchen.

The poor homeowners thought that they had an intruder in the house due to the noise it made as it fed. Once they had realised it was vermin we were called out to investigate.

We blocked the hole around the waste pipe and baited the roof. It soon took the poisonous bait and on a follow up visit to the house we were able to remove the rat.

Rat control can be fairly simple if you know what to look for. If you need help removing rats from your house please phone us.

Rats under the Shower

by Leave a Comment

After a new shower was put in to a customers downstairs extension she started getting rodents in to the house. On the full house inspection we discovered that we people who had put the shower in had not capped the old bath pipes which let rats in to the room.

After we had treated for the rats we blocked off the pipes that we’re letting the rodents in. The customer could now get her shower in peace!!
