Bengeo is a leafy residential area on the hill above Hertford town centre, largely Victorian and Edwardian villas alongside newer housing near Bengeo Trinity, and like anywhere else, properties here aren't immune to rats. Rats can cause substantial problems once they gain access to a property. They can contaminate food and surfaces, damage insulation and stored belongings and gnaw through timber, plastic and electrical cables.

What's Usually Going On

Rats can cause substantial problems once they gain access to a property. They can contaminate food and surfaces, damage insulation and stored belongings and gnaw through timber, plastic and electrical cables.

Signs to Look Out For

Common signs include scratching noises inside walls or ceilings, droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed food packaging and sightings around gardens, bins or outbuildings.

In Bengeo specifically, we'd also encourage you to think about the age and construction of your property — older buildings with original brickwork and timber tend to offer more potential access points than newer, tightly-built homes.

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.
