Why Do Rats Keep Coming Back?
Recurring rat problems usually have an underlying cause.
If rats disappear after treatment but return weeks or months later, simply using more bait may not solve the problem. Rats could be gaining access through drains, gaps around services, wall cavities, damaged pipework or other hidden entry points.
RodentKill investigates how rats are getting into your property, so the underlying entry route can be identified and the right solution recommended.
Investigate the cause • Find the entry point • Help stop the cycle
Could Your Rat Problem Be Coming From the Drains?
Damaged drains and hidden drainage connections can provide rats with a route towards and sometimes into a property.
A CCTV rat drain survey can help identify:
✓ Damaged or defective pipework
✓ Redundant drain connections
✓ Potential rat access routes
✓ Defects requiring repair
✓ Suitable locations for rat blockers where appropriate
Signs You May Have a Rat Problem
Rats are often most active at night, so the first signs may be noises rather than sightings. Scratching beneath floors, movement inside walls or lofts, droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed insulation and unusual pet behaviour can all indicate rat activity.
If rats have been treated before but the signs keep returning, the important question is how they are getting into the property.
Not sure where the problem is starting? Visit our Rat Knowledge Centre for specialist guidance on recurring rats, entry points, drainage problems and rat proofing.
Why Do Rat Problems Return?
Rats may disappear after treatment and then return because the original access route was never found.
Damaged drains, gaps around services, wall cavities and other concealed entry points can allow rats back into the property.
Finding the route is the key to long-term control.
How RodentKill Investigates
We investigate the property to identify signs of rat activity and likely entry routes.
Where drains are suspected, CCTV can be used to investigate underground pipework and potential access points.
We look for the source — not just the rats.
Rat Proofing & Prevention
Once an entry point has been identified, suitable proofing or repair work can help prevent rats from using the same route again.
This may include sealing gaps, protecting openings or recommending drainage repairs.
Find it. Fix it. Help prevent it happening again.
