Rats in Hackney
Rats in Hackney follow water and green space. The Lee Navigation and the River Lea, along with open spaces such as Clissold Park and Hackney Marshes, give them food and cover, and from there they travel along sewers, railway banks and garden fences into nearby homes.
Take Hoxton as an example. Hoxton has large council estates, converted industrial buildings and the Hoxton Street market, near the Regent's Canal. Rats around blocks of flats usually come from bin stores and communal grounds; inside, they tend to use service ducts on lower floors.
Rats in Hackney Central, Stoke Newington and Clapton
Victorian and Edwardian terraces make up a large part of Hackney Central, Stoke Newington and Clapton. In terraced streets rats often come from defective drains under the house or along shared rear gardens, so we check inspection chambers and pipe joints as well as the house itself.
Rats in Dalston and Shoreditch
Much of the housing in Dalston and Shoreditch is busy high streets and town centres. Near busy high streets, rats are drawn by food waste and bins and often get into flats above shops through gaps around pipework.

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.
