Why You Should Never Ignore a Rat Problem
Rats don’t go away on their own. Left unchecked, they breed quickly, contaminate surfaces, and cause costly damage. Acting early is cheaper, safer, and far less disruptive.
Key Risks of Delaying Treatment
- Health risks: Contamination of food prep areas and stored items.
- Fire risk: Gnawed cables in lofts, garages, and underfloor voids.
- Water damage: Chewed pipe lagging and plumbing insulation.
- Structural damage: Insulation tearing and gnawed timbers.
