Rat Control Sittingbourne
Industrial estates and large buildings with a perimeter measured in hundreds of metres - and every few of them, an opening.
Rat Control in Sittingbourne
A warehouse or production unit has a perimeter measured in hundreds of metres and an opening every few of them: roller shutters, personnel doors, dock levellers, service penetrations, ducting, cable trays and drainage. Sealing a building like that is a programme rather than a single job, and a rat needs only one of those openings left genuinely open.
Shutter and door discipline is usually the highest-value single change on this kind of site - a roller shutter left open during loading, propped for ventilation, or simply slow to close gives a rat far more opportunity than any gap in the building fabric itself.
Local pattern
Every Opening Is A Door
On a large Sittingbourne industrial unit, the survey works through the perimeter systematically rather than assuming the obvious openings are the only ones - dock leveller seals, ducting penetrations and drainage covers are checked alongside the doors and shutters that get noticed first.
Waste and storage areas outside the building carry the same weight they do on any commercial site - a compactor or skip area close to the building with poor drainage or an unsealed base does more to sustain a population than the building fabric on its own.
Domestic properties in Sittingbourne's residential streets, away from the industrial estates, are surveyed the standard way - the usual drains, airbricks and garden entry points rather than the perimeter-scale approach a large unit needs.

What is the single most useful thing we can do ourselves?
Shutter and door discipline - keeping roller shutters closed except when actively loading is usually the highest-value single change on a large site.
