If you are seeing rats this winter, day or night...don't ignore it. They may start to come in. Now the nights are getting longer, and it's getting colder rats look for warmth. They are looking for warmth - now the summer has gone, and they've reached their maximum numbers, having bred all spring and summer. If you are based in Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Dagenham, Brentwood, Purfleet or anywhere in London, Essex or Kent, call us. Especially if you are hearing noises, or something was chewed or moved indoors. They may already be inside, in a cavity somewhere. You don't want your wires or pipes damaged, or for them to explore more of your home, searching for food.
