Rats in Croydon
Most rat problems we see in Croydon start outdoors, around South Norwood Country Park and Farthing Downs or close to the River Wandle at Waddon and the Norbury Brook, before rats find a way into a house through a damaged drain, an air brick or a gap around pipework.
A typical case is Selsdon. Selsdon is a hilltop suburb of 1920s and 30s houses bordered by Selsdon Wood nature reserve and farmland. In houses with gardens, bird feeders, open compost and pet food left outside are the usual attraction, and decking provides ideal shelter.
Rats in South Norwood, Thornton Heath and Addiscombe
Much of the housing in South Norwood, Thornton Heath and Addiscombe is Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Older terraces often have clay drains that crack with age, and a single broken joint can let rats into the void under a kitchen floor.
Rats in Purley, Coulsdon and New Addington
Suburban semis and gardens make up a large part of Purley, Coulsdon and New Addington. In houses with gardens, bird feeders, open compost and pet food left outside are the usual attraction, and decking provides ideal shelter.

How treatment works
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.
