Most people when referring to rats refer to rattus norvegicus -or Norway rats- which is overwhelmingly the main species of rat in East Renfrewshire. I cannot think of any area of East Renfrewshire in which we have not had to treat rats in. Newtons Mearns, Giffnock, Clarkston, Eaglesham, Barrhead & Neilston are all affected by rats to some level. Areas next to industrial units, burns and railway lines seem to be worst affected as the embankment around these areas can be a nesting and breeding ground for rats.

Our standard treatment protocol consists of an initial site survey to identify all the keys aspects of the job.

This includes looking at factors such as the type of property and it’s surroundings, the vulnerabilities allowing rats access to the property, areas where they could be nesting or frequenting and any safety concerns which need to be taken into account for a successful and safe treatment to be done.

Once we have surveyed the site and formulated an action plan we will explain all the key aspects of the treatment we are going to do to keep you at ease and fully informed of what we are doing in your property.

We will then usually use a combination of traps and rodenticide bait to control the rats internally and externally -depending on the circumstances- throughout the affected areas. We will follow up at regular intervals to monitor the progress of the treatment and adjust the treatment accordingly. We will always advise on what building improvements you can do to reduce the likelihood of future issues as well.

Rats can spread disease and damage building structures by gnawing on pipes and wires. I have personally seen thousands of pounds worth of damage to properties where rats have gnawed though pipes leading to extensive water damage.

Hence it is imperative you take steps to eradicate rats from your home or business as soon as possible once you become aware of their presence.

Rats can nest absolutely anywhere from beneath the floorboards of your property to in your cavity walls or even in your loft. Externally the can live under outbuildings such as sheds, garages and decking. You may even come across burrows where they have dug into the ground leaving a small tunnel and are living in the hole.

A word of advice. If you are going to attempt to proof an area from rats then I would advise that expanding foam -no matter how much of the stuff you use- is waste of time and money.

You must use concrete, cement, tightly fitted steel wool or chicken wire to block entry points otherwise rats will easily chew through whatever repairs you have done.
