Rat Control Highgate

Rat Control in Highgate

Where Problems Start

Georgian and Victorian housing on high ground, with gardens backing onto woodland, older Victorian terraces like these often have ageing drainage and shared party walls that give rats an easy route between properties.

Signs to Look For

• Dark, tapered droppings roughly 1–2cm long, often in small groups
• Greasy smear marks along skirting boards, pipes and the edges of holes
• Gnawing on wood, plastic, food packaging or cables
• Scratching in ceilings, walls or under the floor, mostly at night
• Burrows a few centimetres across in soil, under paving or beside a shed
• A stale, ammonia-like smell in cupboards or under the stairs
