Where we commonly find rats in Crawley homes
In Crawley, rats are most commonly found in loft spaces, wall cavities, kitchens, garages, garden sheds and around drains. Older properties with gaps around pipework and air bricks are particularly vulnerable, while newer estates can attract rats through open drainage and poorly sealed utility entry points.
We also see rat activity in gardens — especially near compost bins, bird feeders and decking. PestSeal inspects both inside and outside your property to identify the full picture before recommending treatment.
