Rodent pest control Crieff

Rodent pest control Crieff has been needed this month as mice and rats move towards and into buildings for shelter from the cold and snow. Rats have been a real problem; these are always nearby in the countryside and farmland around Crieff, and ready to cause pest problems.

Often customers realise they have a rat infestation only when they actually see a rat, but by the time you see one rat then there are certainly quite a few more around that you haven’t seen! Now we’re in the middle of the winter we’re going to be busy with rodent pest control Crieff for more of these vermin problems.

 We were called out for rodent pest control Crieff where rats had taken over stream bankings and the ground next to some domestic rubbish bins. Rats like to live near streams, and the food from rubbish around the bins had made this spot rat heaven; they had moved in on a large scale. They are very good diggers and make burrows in the earth to live in. In the picture you can see lots of rat burrow entrances in the ground and stream banking in front of the bins. It was a heavy rat infestation, with young and adult rats running freely around the place, even in daylight.

Rats carry nasty diseases that can make humans, pets and livestock very ill.  A heavy infestation of rats like this requiring pest control Crieff is definitely a health hazard, but just one rat can carry enough contamination to be dangerous. Rats also live under the shelter of things like sheds. wood piles, compost bins and stacks of bales; be careful that wood from the wood pile and other items outdoors aren’t carrying unseen diseases from rat contamination. Rats get inside buildings too. We had an emergency call for rodent pest control Kinross recently for a rat in a bedroom; see our news item on rodent control from October. Shortly after this incident there was a national news story about a rat attack on a sleeping child in a bedroom.
