As temperatures drop and daylight fades, rodents begin their seasonal migration indoors—seeking warmth, shelter, and food. For landlords across Edinburgh, East, Mid & West Lothian, autumn is a critical time to act. Proactive prevention now can protect tenants, preserve property, and avoid costly insurance disputes later.
Why Autumn Is High-Risk
- Rodents seek warmth: Lofts, basements, and cavity walls become prime nesting zones.
- Tenant activity shifts: More indoor cooking and heating means more attractants.
- Proofing gaps widen: Summer repairs may leave unnoticed entry points.
What Landlords Should Do Now
- Inspect entry points: Check vents, pipe gaps, rooflines, and bin areas.
- Install mesh systems: Insurance-grade proofing prevents ingress and supports claims.
- Schedule a professional survey: Our technicians assess risk and document compliance.
- Educate tenants: Share prevention tips—like sealing food and reporting sightings early.
