Rats can be very persistent and if they manage to gain access to your home or business they can contaminate food, spread harmful diseases and cause considerable damage; such as chewing cabling that can cause fires and chewing through walls. Rats in the garden and other external areas can also be a high risk, particularly in areas visited by children or pets.
By acting on the first sign of a suspected rat problem, the length of time it takes to effectively control a rat infestation can be significantly reduced. Because rats breed so quickly a small problem has the potential to escalate to a larger infestation if left untreated.
