Rat Control in Addiscombe

Where Problems Start

Victorian and Edwardian terraces east of the town centre, close to the tram routes, 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
