Rats and mice in Chester | Fieldmark demo

Understand the space before the proposal

A noise behind a wall, a sighting outdoors and signs in a food cupboard call for different conversations. The first task is to establish the areas that can be inspected and any practical limits on access.

Mention adjoining premises, outbuildings and work already attempted. This helps Fieldmark prepare the assessment without asking you to identify a species or select a product.

Any proposed control, proofing work or later check would be described in the written scope. Building repairs, clearance and work in inaccessible voids are not automatically included.

What to discuss before an inspection explains the practical information that can help the first conversation.

Useful answers

Questions about the scope.

For anything specific to the premises, include a short note with your enquiry.

What if I have only heard a noise?

Describe its location and when it occurs. A sound alone does not establish which animal is present; an assessment would be needed.

Does this include repairs to the building?

No. Any suggested proofing or repair would need its own agreed scope, access and price. Structural work is not part of Fieldmark’s sample service.

Should I upload a photograph?

Not with the enquiry. If photographs would help, Fieldmark says how to send them when it replies. This demo site has no upload.

Can I buy the rodenticide a professional would use?

General guidance, not legal advice: in Great Britain, HSE says some rodenticides can only be sold to and used by professional users with demonstrated competence, and that members of the public should never use biocidal products intended only for professional users. Any method would be explained with a written proposal.
