Rodent Control in Brighton

A CCTV drain survey is crucial for tracking rat and rodent activity in underground pipework. Our engineers send specialised cameras through drains in properties across Peacehaven, Lancing, and Henfield to identify entry points and nests.

This method helps pinpoint the precise location where rodents are accessing the system. Customers receive a clear report and footage, so they can understand the situation and the recommended steps for proofing.

Proofing includes the installation of purpose-made rat blockers or one-way valves within the drains. These devices allow waste to flow out but stop rodents moving in or out of the system.

For properties in Pyecombe, Falmer, and similar locations, this approach provides a physical solution that does not rely on chemicals. The installation is carried out by certified engineers, with minimal disruption to your drain service.

Homeowners in towns like Hassocks or Rottingdean often discover rodent issues after hearing noises in the walls or seeing droppings near drain covers. We investigate both inside and outside, using CCTV and targeted proofing to solve the issue.

Keeping families and pets safe means acting quickly. Our team works discreetly and keeps you informed through every step, from first survey to final check.

Rodent sightings or sudden activity in drains can require urgent attention. Our engineers target a 1-hour response whenever a business or household in East Sussex needs emergency help.

With no call-out charge, we investigate and advise on the spot. Immediate measures may involve temporary proofing or traps, followed by a more detailed CCTV drain survey.

Rodents use gaps, cracks, and faulty pipe connections to enter drains and then move into kitchens, cellars, and basements. Older drain systems, common in places like Worthing and Rottingdean, are especially vulnerable.

Once inside the drainage system, rats can gnaw through plastic or damaged clay pipes. Without effective intervention, this can lead to further infestations inside the property.

Where suitable, bait stations or traps may be installed within the accessible drain sections. This is carefully managed to reduce risk to other wildlife and pets, especially in residential areas of Portslade and Littlehampton.

Baiting in the drainage system is usually paired with proofing to ensure the infestation is targeted at the source. Our engineers explain all options before starting this work.

Beyond drain work, we assess vents, brickwork, cellar doors, and utility entries for rodent vulnerabilities. We recommend practical improvements such as mesh covers or sealing gaps, tailored to local property types in East Sussex.

This holistic approach stops rats and mice using the drainage system as a route into kitchens, bathrooms, or basements—common in older buildings found in central Brighton.

Shops, restaurants, and managed blocks in Brighton and East Sussex are at particular risk, especially where multiple drainage systems connect. Our commercial service includes regular CCTV surveys and scheduled maintenance to prevent health code issues.

We arrange visits to suit your schedule, minimising disruption to business. Reports and recommendations are provided, helping with compliance and inspections.

Long-term rodent control is about prevention. We offer follow-up visits and can install permanent access points for future CCTV checks, especially useful in properties with a history of infestations.

Recommended maintenance includes periodic checks of drain covers, rat blockers, and proofed areas to ensure the system stays secure—keeping homes and businesses rodent-free year-round.
