We get regular calls about rats from Epping and the surrounding area, which covers a market town on the edge of Epping Forest, with a long historic high street, period housing near the centre and newer estates towards the forest edge. Common signs include scratching noises inside walls or ceilings, droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed food packaging and sightings around gardens, bins or outbuildings.
The Most Common Signs
Common signs include scratching noises inside walls or ceilings, droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed food packaging and sightings around gardens, bins or outbuildings. These signs can be easy to miss at first, particularly in less-used rooms, lofts or outbuildings.
How We Approach Treatment
Our rat-control service can help with rats in houses, lofts, kitchens, wall cavities, gardens, garages, sheds and drainage systems. Treatment isn't simply about dealing with the rats you can see. Where possible, the source of the infestation and potential access points should also be identified to reduce the chances of the problem returning.
In Epping, we regularly see this in properties across a market town on the edge of Epping Forest, with a long historic high street, period housing near the centre and newer estates towards the forest edge, so if any of the above sounds familiar it's worth getting a proper inspection rather than waiting to see if it resolves itself.
