Rats

[Joe]

BP that’s the big issue, mice and rats can get in just about anywhere and based on my experience they are harder to detect than most people think. I would definitely recommend taking the kick boards off regularly and also pulling out appliances.
There’s definitely two stages to this game,
1. Trying to maintain the rat population around your property to almost zero.
2. Keeping your home unfriendly to rats, so secure entry points and don’t have food available.

We failed entirely with having food lying around eg dog and rabbit treats.
