Mind the gap: Eliminate any gaps around pipes and under sheds, as rats only need a gap of 15mm to gain entry to a structure. You will need to search for any potential entry points and seal these up with wire wool embedded in quick-setting cement. You should focus on low level gaps first as these are the most likely areas for rats to enter. You can then consider any higher up vents or gaps. Check around pipes and windows, and double check the basement.
Take cover: Cover any household waste where rats can get access to it and close dustbin lids. Recycling containers should also be washed to remove any food residue. Don’t dump food straight into your wheelie bin: Rats are really good at sniffing out their next meal. Don’t lure them to your bin by placing loose food waste straight in the container. Instead, keep it under wraps with compostable liners, plastic bags or refuse sacks, which will help control smells and make sure it doesn’t stick to the sides of containers.
