Drains – Steps To A Rat Free Home!
Where rats have made access into your home from faulty drains the following steps are essential.
1 – Let the water authority check your drains for defects
2 – Get a detailed map of your local sewers from the water authority
3 – Ask a drain company to map and video your domestic drains
4 – Ask a pest controller with drainage experience to assess the footage from the drain company and recommend repairs
5 – Once remedial repairs have been booked in to be completed, begin baiting rats, so they have the chance to feed and succumb to the bait externally.
6 – One week from starting baiting, consider proofing to seal and repair drains or other entry points
7 – Once remediated, remove bait and swap to traps – avoiding a final round of Bait-Stink-Flies-Repeat.
8 – Once the property has been free of rat activity for a month, it is likely the problem will not return.
9 – Stay Vigilant – If the noises return, do not leave until later! Never wait for infestation levels to return to previous levels or worse. get professionals back in right away.
10 – Should the measures you applied fail – don’t be disheartened – consider repeating the process to look for new damage or access points. It is not uncommon to discover rats have eaten right through your repairs!
