How Rats Enter Your Home

Rats will find their way out of faulty drain systems which are normally adjacent to your properties foundations and cavity walls. Once rats have found a point of ingress they will exploit it and gain access into your cavity or under the foundations. They can then move around your property using the cavity walls and voids finding their way into loft areas. If you have had building work extending over existing drainage systems or if drainage systems have been modified, this could also allow rats into your property.
