Where we find rats in Reigate properties

Reigate's mix of period homes, Victorian terraces and modern developments means rats can enter through a variety of routes. Older properties around Reigate Hill and the town centre are particularly vulnerable due to ageing mortar, original air bricks and gaps around pipework.

Properties backing onto Reigate Heath, Priory Park and the surrounding green belt also see elevated rat activity — especially in gardens with bird feeders, compost bins or decking. PestSeal inspects both inside and outside to build a complete picture before treatment.
