A call out for rats in a commercial property. Rats are burrowing under a neighbours wall to gain access to this property. Rats are extremely tenacious. The customer has been blocking new holes as they appear but a few nights later a new hole appears. He decided enough was enough time to be rid of them and phoned us.

A customer has heard scratching in her walls over the last 2 months. We baited all areas of the house ( including roof space and under floors) and had no takes on any baits on follow up visits. The customer continued to hear the noises so we dug up some decking to find rat runs. The rat has been living in the cavity wall and leaving the property at night to feed. It hasn’t ventured in to the main parts of the house so hasn’t encountered any previously laid bait. The rat must of dug down the external wall and found a way in to the cavity space. As sneaky as this rat has been we are still able to get him. Baits placed along his main runs were just too tempting and as you can see from the photo has now consumed plenty. Now the holes have to be filled to prevent further rats using this great hideaway.

A rat nest in insulation in a roof space just off Sefton Park. Roof voids are a great place for rats to live. They are warm and out of the way but also close to food. They often will just nest in a roof space and leave the house to feed from bird tables or bins. Some unfortunate people however have them living in their roofs and feeding out of their kitchens. Not very pleasant!
Liverpool Echo phoned us on Thursday as they were writing an article on “mutant super rats”. I told them that rats had always been pretty big and that resistance was not huge in Liverpool with rats (but its becoming a major issue with mice). They obviously haven’t printed that as the truth does not sell papers. They have got their “super rat” quote from a guy who runs a pest control company down south but advertises in Liverpool. Pretty standard media reporting. The councils statistics of a rise in call outs for rats to the council pest control is interesting. A hundred extra call outs is a lot but id be more interested seeing statistics over a longer period. See the article here.

A customer has had rats entering her house via an external drain. If you look on the photo the outlet pipe leads in to the house. This is how the rat has gained entry to the property. If you look in the drain channel you can see where it’s droppings have been washed out of the pipe. To control this rat baits have been suspended in the drain. This will protect them from water damage whilst the rat feeds on them. When the control treatment is over a rodent stop valve will be fitted to the drain.
