Rats do not usually hibernate so as the weather gets colder they look for shelter from the elements and a food source to enable them to survive during the winter. Our homes, sheds and garages provide them with shelter and an abundance of food and warmth. Rats can get into your house through broken air-bricks, open brickwork or even large gaps at the base of doors.If you think you may have a rat problem contact 24 Hour Pest Control. If you have an emergency with rats, mice or any other pest our telephone lines are open 24 hours a day. We can deal with your problem immediately. Contact 24 Hour Pest Control.
