Rodent Control in Horsham

Our engineers use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe network from gully to main sewer. This identifies rodent entry points and hidden defects.

The survey footage helps pinpoint exactly where repairs or barriers are needed, so we can tackle the infestation at its source.

Drainage proofing means fitting rodent blockers or non-return valves within pipes and manholes. These mechanical barriers stop rats moving back and forth between the main sewer and your property.

Our team recommends rodent blockers for properties with recurring problems in places like Redhill, Reigate and villages nearby.

Terraced houses and detached homes in Horsham, as well as cottages in rural areas, can all be affected by rats entering through drains. Our approach combines drain surveys, proofing, and advice on property maintenance.

We keep disruption to a minimum and provide written details of all control and proofing work carried out.

If you have seen rats or heard noises in your property, Horsham Drains offers emergency call-outs day or night, every day of the year.

We target a 1-hour response for urgent cases in places like Billingshurst, Haywards Heath and Forest Row, providing rapid CCTV inspection and temporary proofing as needed.

Faults in old clay drains or displaced pipe joints create hidden entrances for rats. Rodents squeeze through cracks or unused pipe branches to reach kitchens, cellars, and outbuildings.

If you regularly hear scratching under floors or spot gnawed items in utility spaces, it is worth checking the drainage system for rodent access.

Where rodents are active, safe bait stations and traps may be set within accessible runs. These help lower rodent numbers quickly in affected areas of the drainage system.

All baiting and trapping is carried out with care to prevent harm to pets and non-target wildlife around your property.

Proofing is not limited to the drains. We also look for potential rodent gaps at air bricks, cable entry points and outbuildings commonly found around West Sussex homes and shops.

Sealing gaps and fitting mesh as part of a combined approach helps prevent rodents re-entering, making future infestations less likely.

Shops, offices, food businesses and schools in areas like Gatwick and Burgess Hill require effective rodent control that fits around business hours.

Our engineers conduct discreet surveys and can schedule proofing work out of hours to minimise impact on your daily operations.

After initial control, regular pipe surveys and inspection of rodent proofing keeps your property secure. We can advise on routine checks for older homes and high-risk sites.

Preventative maintenance, such as clearing debris and repairing faults, helps to keep drainage systems rodent-free in the long term.
