FAQs – Rat Control Barkham
1) How fast can you attend in Barkham?
Same-day or next-day callouts are often available. We prioritise urgent situations.
2) Are your treatments safe around children and pets?
Yes. Control methods are risk-assessed; baits (if used) are secured and inaccessible, with a preference for trapping where suitable.
3) Will one visit fix it?
Light, recent activity can be resolved quickly; established infestations usually need a short programme with follow-ups.
4) Can you stop rats coming back?
That’s our goal. We pair removal with proofing (mesh, seals, brush strips, drain flaps) and housekeeping advice to prevent re-entry.
5) I’ve seen rats near my bins and bird feeders—what should I do?
Use rodent-proof bins, avoid over-feeding birds, clear spillages, and keep compost secure. We’ll advise on site to remove attractants.
6) Do you work with businesses and landlords?
Absolutely—restaurants, shops, warehouses, and lettings. We provide reports, bait maps, and audit-ready paperwork.
7) Do you offer drain checks?
Yes—CCTV drain inspections and installation of rat flaps to block sewer access points.
