In the centre of Leeds we provide specialist pest control & bird proofing services to companies, to protect their premises and ensure these nuisance birds are kept away by humane effective deterrents - such as barriers, netting or spikes.
Also, within this busy and densely populated area, we provide a quick and responsive service to any pest issues, as we understand the need to control infestations before they spread to other areas and affect more premises.
Rodents are commensal pests, thriving in urban habitats from Pudsey, Kirkstall and Hunslet to Chapel Allerton, that can offer them ample food and shelter. Both rats and house mice are omnivorous, consuming whatever they can from contents of compost and rubbish bins to discarded left-overs and even the food in our homes if they get in.
The quickest and most effective way to get rid of rats or mice is by professional, targeted pest control treatments.

Inspecting your home is the first and most important part of the process. If you don't completely seal off your home, new rats will just keep coming inside.
When a rat enters your home they not only create an easy access hole for other rats, they also leave behind scents and pheromones that attract other rats to the same location.
Inspect your home from the outside and inside looking for any areas the rats are using to get inside. Cracks in the foundation, gaps around utility lines, and even a chewed seal under your garage door are all popular spots for rodents to come inside.
Rats enter your home for two basic reasons....food and shelter. Remove any pet food, crumbs and garbage you have laying around. Although rats will invade even the cleanest homes, cleaning up the clutter will make a big difference.
Having rats causes anxiety and stress. This is because you can’t rest easy knowing that there is an uninvited guest in the house. Rats will go after your food, invading your personal space and contaminating different things.
A rat problem could indicate the standard of cleanliness in a place. However, despite your best efforts to clean up, an annoying little rodent can make its way into your home.
You might have a clean house, but who knows, maybe your neighbors don’t. If your neighbor has a rat infestation it could spread to your house as well.
You can hide all the food away, but rats can still find something to nibble on. They love chewing on non-edible items, including fabrics, wires, or even plastic.
Getting rid of rats might be daunting, but it’s not that difficult. Here are some signs of a rat infestation in case you aren’t too sure:
· The All-Too-Obvious
If you see a dark little figure scurrying or skittering about in the middle of the night in the kitchen area or in the hallway, then it is time to face the ugly truth of a rodent infestation. There could be nothing else than these little pests.
· Food Nibbled or Bitten Off
If you see tiny bite marks on food such as crackers, chocolates, cookies, fruits, then it is a clear sign that a rodent has munched on it. Rats can’t carry the entire food so they just bite off whatever they can and run off to their hideout until their next mealtime. Look out for food crumbs and particles thrown at different places as well.
· Wires or Plastic Things Chewed On
When you see small bite marks on plastic items or wires where nobody can easily reach, it is surely a rat up to no good.
· Droppings and Odor
This might seem a bit disgusting, but if you see small or skinny pellets of feces that give off a bad stench, then you know that there are rats in your house. It is a strong indicator that rodents have comfortably found a little home for itself and is doing its dirty business whenever or wherever it can. If it is more than an inch long, then you have a rat in your home.
