Why rodents get into Southampton homes.
Portswood, Shirley and Freemantle have streets of Victorian terraces with suspended floors and airbricks. The city was heavily bombed in the Second World War, so there are many post-war homes too, alongside newer flats near the waterfront.
The docks, the Itchen and the Test bring rats close to homes, and gardens near the rivers and green spaces see more activity. Broken airbricks, damaged drains and gaps around pipes are the routes we find most often.
