Rats or mice at home in Portsmouth? We find the way in, then close it.
Portsmouth's terraced streets are packed tightly together on the island, so rodent problems travel from house to house. We find where yours is getting in, treat the activity and close the route.

Why rodents get into Portsmouth homes.
Most of Portsea Island is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, street after street in Fratton, Southsea, Copnor and North End. Southsea also has larger villas and conversions, and Cosham and Drayton on the mainland have more semis.
Terraced streets with back-to-back gardens, the harbour, the seafront and old drains keep rats and mice close by. Shared walls and lofts let mice move along a row, so we look beyond the room where you hear them.
