Millennium was asked to attend and investigate rat activity within a small warehouse unit. On inspection at the rear of the property we noted a lot of overgrowth and an old drain cover was found.
The Drain was then inspected and heavy damage and rat activity could be noted.
The Rats were found to be accessing from the broken drain to the surface, using the overgrowth as harbourage then access the warehouse via drainpipes and up and under the cladding.
We introduced a baiting riddance programme over a three week period attending every three days, carried out drain baiting, removed all foliage and attached 5mm wire mesh to the roof, removing the gutter to attach to wooden brackets making sure we worked along side the strict guidleines and laws during installation near Asbestos.
On Completion the Rodenticide has now been removed and replaced with monitoring baits as under the CRRU Laws, during our inspections we were always searching for any discarded rodent bodies to ensure no secondary poisoning could take place.
