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.

Overall, the key to controlling rodents includes sanitation, elimination of their shelter, and rodent-proofing the structure. With Norway rats, look for evidence of burrows. Gnaw marks, droppings, footprints, and 'tail-drag' marks are signs they've already infiltrated your home, as well as dark greasy markings that come from rubbing against things.
Cleaning up spillage will enhance the chances of rodents visiting control measures. Getting rid of rodent evidence allows monitoring of the population control, while removing clutter and excess storage allows the setting of control measures and monitoring for population decrease. Exclusion is an important aspect of rodent control in structures. Most rodent problems are a result of indigenous species seeking food and shelter in our homes or businesses. Rodents also have an advantage; they can "flatten" their bodies to fit through openings (¼ inch for mice). A thorough inspection is important to identify entry points and to repair them, and is the only way to achieve long-term control in areas where this rodent is indigenous. Once the entry points have been repaired, use of mechanical trapping devices is recommended. We do not recommend the use of rodenticides inside residential properties. When using any rodenticide, read the entire label prior to use. Follow all label instructions, restrictions and precautions.
