Rats

Rats are a member of the rodent family and are a common problem these days and carry diseases including Weils Disease (leptospirosis), which can be fatal for human beings. Quite often a rat problem can be traced back to issues with drains or a building defect (e.g. broken air bricks). In the garden, rats will seek a place to live (compost heap, decking, pile of rubble, outhouse...), something to eat (bird feeder, pet or livestock food source) and something to drink (pond). I will give you expert proofing and housekeeping advice to help prevent reinfestations.

What We Do

Before any treatment starts, we carry out a thorough inspection of the premises and gardens/grounds, This inspection is two fold, using 20 years of experience and the use of my trusted terriers to seek out any harbourages, runs, nests etc. The terriers are experienced at also dealing with any rats in the property in a effective and humane way.  This is to: establish the level of infestation; the species; any adverse Health and Safety Risks; check for potential access/ingress points; possible food sources; and, potential harbourages. We will ensure that before and during the treatment children, pets, non-target species and domestic animals will not be effected. We carry out a series of treatments necessary to eradicate the infestation, often this can be achieved in 2 visits, but often 3 visits are required. If rats are present in properties and no obvious defects to the property are established, then it may be advisable to necessary to have drains inspected using a variety of methods including the use of CCTV to scan of the drains.  Kapow Pest Control works very closely with a trusted drainage specialist who can undertake this task. If proofing measures are needed, Kapow Pest Control can carry this out to the highest standard.
