Trash Talk

Picture this. 

You're settling in for a cosy evening at home when you hear it – the unmistakable scurry of tiny feet in your walls. Your heart sinks as you realise you've got unwanted guests – rats.

Rats are a bit like having a teenager sat upstairs playing video games, you can't see them, but you can hear them. Now let's be honest, the rats won't make as much mess as a teenager, or cause as much continuous stress, but they can be a real pain! 

Dealing with a rat infestation can be unsettling and downright frustrating, but fear not!
