Rodent Control in Basingstoke

A CCTV drain survey is the first step for identifying rodent entry points. Our engineers use specialist cameras to inspect pipework for cracks, displaced joints, or gnawed sections that rats have exploited.

Video footage can reveal hidden nests or blockages, showing exactly where remedial work is needed on your property in Oakley, Overton, or similar areas.

Drainage proofing involves installing physical barriers, such as rat blockers, into pipework or outlets. These one-way valves allow waste to exit but stop rodents entering the system from outside.

Such barriers are particularly useful for properties in places like Tadley and Whitchurch, where older drains can be vulnerable to rat intrusion.

For Hampshire homeowners, we provide discreet rodent control focused on drain-related access. If householders in Basingstoke or surrounding villages find signs of infestation, we can investigate using CCTV and recommend tailored proofing.

Written reports and planned repairs mean you know exactly what has been done and what to watch for in future.

If you notice sudden evidence of rodents—such as droppings, noises, or foul smells—call us any time. Our emergency team aims for a 1-hour response in urgent situations.

We prioritise properties with clear signs of recent or ongoing rodent activity, especially when there’s a risk to health or property.

Rodents commonly enter through faulty or uncapped drains found in older Hampshire homes, as well as cracked pipes in commercial buildings. Broken or misaligned joints can give rats and mice a direct route into kitchens or cellars.

If you hear noises under flooring or find droppings, especially near drains or manholes, your drainage system could be the access point.

When active rodents are confirmed, secure bait stations and traps may be positioned by certified professionals. These are placed in safe, targeted locations inside drain runs or around manhole chambers.

Care is taken so pets and non-target wildlife are not affected. This approach is often used alongside drain repairs for a comprehensive solution.

Beyond the drainage system, rodent-proofing measures like sealing air bricks and closing up entry holes in walls can help prevent re-entry. Our team will advise based on the construction of your premises.

Combining drain proofing with general property checks gives more reliable long-term protection against rats and mice.

Shops, restaurants, and industrial units often have more complex drainage systems, making entry points harder to spot. We work with businesses to check for breaches, install blockers, and minimise risks to stock or equipment.

Routine surveys and maintenance can help prevent disruptions caused by rodent-related drainage problems.

Prevention is the most effective long-term approach. We recommend regular drain surveys and maintenance, especially in older Hampshire buildings or after previous issues.

Ongoing monitoring, such as fitting rodent-proof covers or scheduling repeat CCTV checks, keeps your drainage system protected year-round.
