Rodent Prevention in Chippenham

Why Our Pest Control Company Carries Out Drain Surveys to Diagnose Infestation Issues

As part of our pest control company’s many professional services throughout Chippenham, BEEKIND™ often carries out drain surveys to establish the source of rodent problems. Rats, in particular, can cause significant inconvenience to property owners, as their nests prevent the controlled flow of waste materials. They also eat through data cables and other essential utility components. 

At BEEKIND™, we stand out in our approach to rodent prevention, offering a comprehensive range of services including bees removal, bird control, insect control, and woodworm treatments. In this section, we delve into the significance of drain surveys and how they form a crucial part of our domestic and commercial pest control services. 

CCTV Drain Surveys

The use of CCTV drain surveys significantly enhances the work carried out by our pest control company. While it may be challenging to identify nests or entry points with the naked eye, our advanced camera technology allows us to navigate the complex network of sewage pipes and drains under your home or premises. This provides us with real-time updates on the rodents’ nesting locations and the extent of the damage they have caused, enabling us to take immediate and targeted action. 

Our surveys are essential for understanding behaviour and implementing targeted interventions to prevent re-infestation. Rats exploit damaged pipes or neglected maintenance in sewer systems to access homes. Sealing these entry points, addressing structural issues, and improving sanitation contribute to effective pest control, regulatory compliance, and long-term prevention of rat-related problems.

Our team at BEEKIND™ are on hand to offer advice on how best to prevent rodents from entering your Chippenham property and causing further damage to the drains. Call our pest control company today for advice about rodent prevention or to arrange a CCTV drain survey. 

We are also available to help with bees removal, bird control, insect control, woodworm treatments, and commercial pest control services. 

Rodents are attracted to drains and sewers for several reasons:

  • Food Sources – drains and sewers often contain organic matter and food debris, attracting rats and leading to infestations
  • Shelter – sewers provide ideal environments for nesting and breeding as rats create nests and establish colonies in the warmth and seclusion of drains
  • Water Source – drains offer a consistent water source, which is crucial for rodent survival, especially in urban areas with limited alternative water sources
  • Travel Corridors – the extensive network of sewer tunnels and pipes allows rats to move discreetly and access different areas
  • Escape Routes – rodents use drains as convenient escape routes when threatened, thanks to the interconnected nature of sewer systems
  • Warmth and Comfort – sewer systems provide stable temperatures, making them attractive during harsh weather conditions
