CCTV Surveys
Once the technician has removed rats from your property, he may use a CCTV camera to find the breaks in your drainage systems. The camera will show where the issues are and give you a report to show what is required to make a permanent fix to prevent further activity.
Put a bung in it! Damaged pipes are rarely accessible unless you want to start excavating slabs or removing floors. Techniques such as lining or using manoeuvrable sealing bags are much better solutions for stopping rats getting into cosy pipework however they can be expensive. Invicta can offer drainage equipment that will prevent rat access whilst the issue is getting a permanent fix. Your technician will advise the best approach to the issues on your property.
Invicta’s Pest Control Service Process
Invicta will contact you to understand what issues you are having and how we can help. We will listen and understand the issues you are having and then talk you through the best course of action. A site survey may be required to better understand what the best course of action is required.
Once you’re happy with our treatment plan, we will agree on a suitable time to attend with you and carry out the appropriate treatment for the pest you are having issues with.
Depending on the pest and the scale of the infestation, we may return for follow-up visits to assess the situation and provide additional pest control treatment.
After each visit, we provide detailed photographic reports so you can understand exactly what we have done and what equipment we have used. You’ll be able to rest assured that the job was done professionally and that the vermin are gone for good.

Any person who has had rat activity in their loft will tell you how awful the scratching sounds and the constant scurrying across your ceilings sound during the night. Most rat infestations in your property come from drainage issues allowing rats access to your cavity walls through breaks and faults. Of course modern detection techniques can confirm most issues with regard to the infestation but sometimes we need to go a little further for long term piece of mind.
Rats infest our primary sewer systems, and the connecting pipes provide them with convenient pathways to follow and explore. Rats constantly search for defects in drainage to find a way t to explore their environment for food sources, once found they can typically settle in and live safely. While it is very simple for rodents to find these narrow pathways, it is more difficult for experts to locate the rats or even to stop them. Part of the process is to inspect your drainage for issues rats can manipulate, this is very different from a survey to locate drainage problems and is essential for long term pest free conditions on your property,
The first question that needs to be asked for internal rat activity is this. Has there been any recent or other construction work done? Even projects that were finished a few years ago may contain signs of rodent activity, particularly if the activity is occurring near the project. This is the most frequent source of rodent activity we see, and the usual culprit is a pipe that has been left buried without being sealed, as well as any entry points or branches. However, some tasks call for a little more deliberation and a detective-like approach.
