Clues that should prompt you to act

  1. 01Spindle-shaped droppings about 1 to 2 cm long
  2. 02Freshly disturbed soil against a wall or under a slab
  3. 03Dark, greasy smears along skirting boards and pipes
  4. 04Gnawed bags, cables or wood, scratching at night

The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), also called the Norway rat, lives at ground level: cellars, crawl spaces, courtyards, sewer networks. It swims well, digs readily under slabs and uses the same runs along the walls day after day, leaving marks that a trained eye reads easily.

At home or in your shop, the job therefore starts with those runs: where does it travel, where does it come from, what is it eating? Tamper-resistant bait stations go where it actually moves, any route up through the drains is identified, and the holes and cracks it uses to get in are then sealed.

Sentinel Protocol

How the visit unfolds

The Sentinel Protocol always follows the same order: we inspect before treating, sanitise before leaving and plan the follow-up.

Included in every visit

  • A photo report emailed on the day of the visit
  • A two-hour slot and a call before arrival
  • A published price, paid online before the visit
  • A technician holding the Certibiocide
  • Approved products, used only where needed
  • Written advice to reduce the risk of pests returning

  1. 01

    Inspect

    Droppings, smears and burrows logged; routes up from inspection chambers, traps and air bricks located, along with food sources.

  2. 02

    Treat

    Locked, fixed bait stations on the runs found; mechanical traps wherever a rodenticide has no place, such as food areas.

  3. 03

    Sanitise

    Holes and cracks filled with steel wool and mortar, grilles over vents, a non-return valve advised if rats come up a pipe.

  4. 04

    Follow up

    Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: bait uptake checked, stations adjusted, photo report and advice on storing waste.

Frequently asked questions

Can the rat in my cellar climb to the upper floors?

+

Brown rats prefer ground level and basements, but they follow ducts and soil stacks when looking for food. That is why the inspection also covers the routes between the cellar and the flats.

My neighbour has rats: does that affect me?

+

Often, yes: one population moves between adjoining gardens, courtyards and cellars. Treating both sides at the same time works best; we can coordinate the visit with your neighbour or the managing agent.

Are bait stations dangerous for my dog or children?

+

The bait is held in key-locked boxes fixed to the floor or wall, designed so that only a rodent can reach it. Their positions are marked in the report, and placement is adapted if you have pets.
