Rats in Roof/behind plasterboard

[ningerr]

Hi, I have got rats in the loft & also in the walls behind plasterboard where it is dabbed onto the internal walls,I cannot understand how they are gaining entry we are in a modern detached property built ten tears ago, there is no food source in the roof but how are they gaining entry from the top or the bottom, they are not in the cavity(as far as i know) they are behind the plasterboard so i cannot believe they are gaining entry from the bottom as if coming thru the foundation surely they would come straight into the house & not arrive in a 25mm gap between skirtings/plasterboard & internal walls. This is driving me/ the wife & kids mad & we are at a loss on how to solve this.Please Help!!!1

I would call in the pest control people double quick, you don't want rats in your house. Rats are very good at climbing and gnawing to get into buildings.

Hi Ningerr! You'd be surprised how small a gap rats can use to gain access. You definately need the help of an expert to help get rid of these rats. They will help identify where the rats are getting in and take measures to stop any further additions to the new 'guests'. Let us know what happens please and good luck...Wizzo
