Rats in City of London
With the Thames running through the borough and green spaces like Finsbury Circus and St Paul's Churchyard, City of London has plenty of places for rats to live. Busy streets such as Smithfield Market and Cheapside add food waste to the mix.
Take Aldgate as an example. Aldgate has new office and hotel towers, student housing and restaurants on the City's eastern edge. Bins behind restaurants and takeaways feed rats all year round, and the flats above shops are where they most often turn up indoors.
Rats in Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Bank
Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Bank are mainly busy high streets and town centres. Around shops and food outlets, rats nest in service yards and move into buildings through gaps under doors and around cables.
Rats in Barbican
Barbican is mainly purpose-built flats and estates. Rats near flats often burrow in communal planting beds and get into buildings through gaps around pipes where they enter at ground level.

Survey: The technician inspects the property, works out how many rats and where they are travelling, and looks for the likely way in. Then we treat, explain what we found, and advise whether a follow-up is likely.
