Q: Is control safe around hens, ducks or rabbits?

Yes. We use tamper-resistant placements or traps where appropriate and position them out of reach of livestock and pets, with a documented placement map.

Q: Will you remove burrows under the coop?

Once activity is down, we collapse and compact burrows, then add a welded-mesh skirt to stop re-digging.

Commercial Kitchen Rat Control in Tring (HP23)

Rats love warm kitchens, food scraps and the shadowy void under your kickboards. We deliver fast, discreet rat control for restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways across Tring (HP23)—with proofing that actually stops the comeback.

Kickboards and pipe chases are prime harbourage. We seal them tight.

Why Your Kitchen Attracts Rats

Food & water: prep crumbs, grease trays, drip lines and mop sinks
Harbourage: gaps behind kickboards, pipe/cable penetrations, damaged thresholds
Night-time quiet: empty premises = perfect scouting and feeding
Shared waste & drains: bin stores and sewers bring pests to the door

Our Plan (Quick, Discreet, Documented)

Audit: activity map, harbourage list, hygiene/structural faults.
Knock-down: targeted trapping and/or tamper-resistant placements with a clear bait map.
Proofing: seal kickboards and pipe chases, fit rodent-proof vent guards, repair thresholds.
Drain protection: trace/CCTV and install stainless non-return rat blockers to stop sewer ingress.
Sanitation: HEPA vacuuming, biocidal treatment and odour neutralisation where needed.
HACCP docs: site file with visit reports, actions, bait map and COSHH—ready for EHO.

Out-of-Hours & Discretion

We schedule before opening or after close to avoid disruption. Unbranded attendance available on request.

FAQs

Can you attend after closing?

Yes—most commercial work is out-of-hours to keep you trading and protect your reputation.

Is baiting safe in food prep areas?

We use tamper-resistant stations placed to a documented bait map. Where bait isn’t appropriate, we use traps and proofing.

How do you stop sewer rats?

We trace the line and, if needed, fit a stainless non-return valve (rat blocker) so rodents can’t re-enter via drains.

Will I get HACCP/EHO paperwork?

Yes—site plan, bait map, COSHH and visit reports, updated each visit.

Rat Control for Chicken Coops & Smallholdings in Tring

Rat Control for Chicken Coops & Smallholdings in Tring (HP23)

Back-garden hens are brilliant—until rats clock the buffet. We help Tring keepers protect their birds with a coop-safe control plan, rodent-proof feed storage, and welded-mesh skirts that stop burrowing under runs and sheds.

Need inside help as well? Pair this with our Professional Rat Control for buildings and outbuildings.

Why Coops Pull Rats In

Spilled grain and nightly leftovers around feeders
Water sources (drinkers, leaking taps, water butts)
Warm bedding and quiet hours after dusk
Timber bases and soft ground that’s easy to tunnel

Our Approach (Safe for Birds, Hard on Rats)

Site audit: Trace runs, chart burrows, identify food/water drivers and weak points in the pen.
Targeted knock-down: Trapping and/or secured stations positioned away from birds and non-targets, with a clear placement map.
Burrow collapse: Humane collapse and compaction once activity ceases.
Pen proofing: Install welded-mesh skirts (galvanised/stainless) dug in with an outward return; seal gaps at doors, kickboards and corners.
Feed security: Metal bins with tight lids, raised feeders, timed feeds and tidy-up routine.
Follow-up checks: Monitoring, photo report and a seasonal plan (spring/autumn spikes).

Coop & Run Upgrades That Work

Hardstanding under feeders (slabs or mesh underlay) to stop tunnelling
Welded-mesh (not chicken wire) for skirts and repairs
Kickboards fitted tight to ground; draught gaps sealed
Feed in metal containers; nightly sweep of spill zones

Timing & Discretion

We can attend early morning or evening around let-out/lock-in, and we work neatly so you keep the routine with minimal disruption.

FAQs

Is control safe around hens, ducks or rabbits?

Yes. We use tamper-resistant placements or traps where appropriate and position them out of reach of livestock and pets. Everything is mapped and documented.

Will you remove burrows under the coop?

Once activity is down, we collapse and compact burrows, then add a welded-mesh skirt to stop re-digging.

What mesh should I use?

Welded mesh (galvanised or stainless). Chicken wire is for keeping birds in, not rodents out.

How do I stop attracting rats?

Feed little and often, sweep spill zones nightly, store feed in metal bins, lift water overnight if practical, and tidy vegetation around the run.

Do you offer ongoing checks?

Yes—monthly or seasonal visits with monitoring and rapid response if activity returns.

Rats Under Decking & Garden Sheds in Tring (HP23)

Hollow voids, a steady food source and peace at night—your decking and shed bases tick every box for rats. We provide rapid, humane burrow control across Tring, then install rodent-proof mesh skirts and tidy the site drivers so they don’t move straight back in.

Already seeing activity inside too? Pair this service with our Professional Rat Control for a full clean-down and proofing plan.

Spot the Signs of an Active Burrow

Clean holes at the edge of decking/shed (50–80mm), with loose spoil or “kick-outs”
Beaten runs along fence lines and under shrubs; smear marks on low boards
Fresh droppings and gnawing on bin stores, bird feeders or compost bays
Night noise, pets “pointing” at one area, or camera captures on a wildlife cam

Why Decking & Sheds Attract Rats

Void spaces give safe nesting; gaps around boards make perfect doorways; and nearby bird feeders, pet food or bin stores provide an all-you-can-eat buffet. Add a leaking water butt and you’ve got a five-star rat hotel.

Our Method: Control, Collapse, Proof

Survey & plan: Map runs, identify food/water sources, assess structure and access.
Targeted control: Trapping or baiting as appropriate (secured, tamper-resistant, documented).
Burrow collapse: Humane collapse and compaction once activity stops.
Mesh skirt installation: Galvanised/stainless welded mesh (proper gauge), dug in and fixed to frame to block re-entry while maintaining airflow.
Driver fixes: Bin store tweaks, bird-feeder positioning, compost adjustments and simple landscaping changes.
Report & aftercare: Photos, actions, and a short maintenance checklist.

Mesh Skirts That Actually Work

Buried depth and outward “return” to defeat digging
Secure fixings to the sub-frame or ground beams
Neat finish with gravel board or trim for a clean look
Airflow preserved—no trapped damp under the structure

Bins, Compost & Bird Feeders: Quick Wins

Bins: Close-fitting lids, level bases, and keep the area swept
Compost: Hot composting if possible; avoid cooked food; raise on slabs/mesh
Bird feed: Catch trays, smaller daily quantities, and move away from decking
Water: Fix dripping taps and leaking butts

Pricing & Scheduling

Every garden is different. After a quick assessment you’ll get a fixed quote covering control, burrow collapse and skirt installation. We offer same-day or next-day visits across Tring (HP23).

FAQs

Do you have to remove the decking?

Usually not. We treat activity, collapse burrows and fit skirts from the perimeter. If access is impossible, we’ll discuss options.

Is baiting safe with pets and children?

Yes. Where bait is appropriate we use tamper-resistant stations and place them to a plan. Trapping is used where bait isn’t suitable.

How deep do you bury the mesh?

We dig in the skirt and add an outward return to stop digging attempts. Depth depends on soil and site risk.

Will the smell go if there’s a dead rat under the deck?

Yes—we can remove carcasses, disinfect and neutralise odours. See our Rat Control for details.

Can you proof sheds on paving slabs?

Yes—mesh skirts can be fixed to the base/timber and sealed to slabs to prevent access.
