Rats or mice at home in Leicester? We find the way in, then close it.
Leicester's close-packed terraces share walls, lofts and alleyways, which makes it easy for rodents to move between homes. We find how they're getting into yours, treat the activity and close the route.

Why rodents get into Leicester homes.
Clarendon Park, Westcotes and Highfields are mostly Victorian terraces, often with narrow alleyways between them. Stoneygate and Knighton have larger Victorian and Edwardian houses, and Oadby and Wigston are mostly semis and newer estates.
The River Soar and the Grand Union Canal run right through the city, and allotments and gardens give rats cover close to homes. Shared alleyways, bins and gaps under suspended floors are the routes we find most often.
