Rat inspection and control — Pest controller
Give the provider the locations and times of sightings, photographs of visible damage and information about waste areas or shared spaces. Describe both indoor and outdoor activity so the assessment does not focus on one room while overlooking relevant parts of the site.
Service scope
Assessment of rat activity affecting indoor or outdoor property areas, with control and prevention planned for the evidence found. Drain-related investigation, waste management and building repairs may be relevant interfaces, but their need is not presumed from a rat sighting alone.
What is normally included
- Inspection of reported rat activity
- Defined control and monitoring programme
- Coordination of relevant property repairs
What is not included
- Automatic diagnosis of sewer defects
- Unspecified poisoning of surrounding wildlife
Typical tasks
- Review the activity history
- Inspect agreed site areas
- Assess access and attraction factors
- Plan a controlled intervention
- Record follow-up and repair referrals
What to include in your brief
- Sighting locations
- Indoor and outdoor evidence
- Waste and storage arrangements
- Shared-site access
- Previous treatment or drainage reports
Choosing the right professional
Ask how activity will be assessed and monitored and which repairs are included. A provider should explain when a drainage specialist or site manager is needed rather than automatically selling sewer work or promising permanent protection after one visit.
Important considerations
- Activity can involve adjoining land or shared infrastructure
- Control measures need safeguards for non-target animals and occupants
