Rodents

Types Of Rodents In The UK

There are two types of mouse that are commonly found inhabiting a home: the light brown field mouse and the smaller brown or grey house mouse. Both species are of a size which allows them to get into wall cavities, through small holes and around the house without necessarily being seen by occupants.

However, because they carry diseases, they need to be removed at the earliest convenience after an infestation is discovered.

Rats gnaw through wire, wood plastic and even mild steel. Professional rat control is the quickest way to eradicate rodents, as they’re instinctive and often sense when DIY measures, like traps and bait, are implemented. Our expert treatment prevents damage and helps safe guard your home.

Rats are particularly active at night which makes them hardly noticeable. During the day they are looking for food, shelter, water and that is the time when they leave indications they inhabit your premises.
